Double gloving with puncture indication for extra safety

The Biogel^® Indicator^® System's puncture indications are clear, fast and large ¹ – all important factors for immediate puncture detection and a clear path to safety and reduced risk of infection.

• A 2014 Cochrane Review concludes that double gloving reduces the risk of an inner-glove perforation by 71% compared to single gloving²  
• A study by Laine and colleagues concluded that indicator gloves substantially increase the detection for glove perforations during surgical procedures. Indicator gloves detect approximately 90% of the perforations, while standard double gloves and single gloves only detect 36% and 23% of the punctures respectively ³.
• Biogel Indicator System detects up to 97% of punctures ⁴ 

Protection you can see

The Biogel Indicator System is unique in that it offers vividly visible puncture detection in three proven ways: ¹ 

• Clear – The colour of the inner glove is selected based on colour physics, maximising the sensitivity of the human eye
• Fast – The gloves are designed to make a puncture visible as fast as possible and to ensure that the regions of indication grow quickly
• Large – The Biogel puncture indication is large and visible from a distance

The Biogel PI Micro Indicator system gives significantly clearer indication than other synthetic double-gloving combinations, making punctures visible as fast as possible ⁵.

How the puncture indication system works

The Biogel Indicator System is made up of a dark-coloured underglove and a straw-coloured overglove.

Normally, the overglove blocks out most of the underglove's colour. When fluid gets between the two layers, light passes through the overglove and reveals the underglove.
