The Biogel® Indicator® System's puncture indications are clear, fast and large1 – 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 inner glove perforation by 71% compared to single gloving2
- A study by Laine and colleagues concluded that indicator gloves substantially increase the detection of glove perforations during surgical procedures. Indicator gloves detect approximately 90% of perforations, while standard double gloves and single gloves only detect 36% and 23% of the punctures respectively3
- Biogel Indicator System detects up to 97% of punctures4
Protection you can see
The Biogel Indicator System is unique in that it offers vividly visible puncture detection in three proven ways1:
- 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 possible5.
How the puncture indication system works
The Biogel Indicator System is made up of a dark-coloured underglove and a straw-coloured overglove.
Usually, 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.
