Frequently asked questions
Is this underglove safe for latex allergies?
Yes, the Molnlycke Biogel PI UltraTouch S Indicator Underglove is designed to be highly safe for sensitive individuals and those with allergies.
Key features ensuring safety include:
- Latex-Free Material: The underglove is crafted from synthetic polyisoprene, which means it contains no natural rubber latex, eliminating the risk of Type I latex allergies.
- Hypoallergenic Formulation: The manufacturing process excludes common chemical accelerators (including Thiazoles, Thiurams, and Carbamates) that are frequently associated with chemical-induced skin irritation (Type IV allergies).
Is this underglove designed to prevent skin irritation?
Yes, the Molnlycke Biogel PI UltraTouch S Indicator Underglove is specifically designed to minimize the risk of chemically induced skin irritation and sensitization. Its unique, high-quality formulation focuses on excluding common chemical irritants:
- Accelerator-Free: It is made from synthetic polyisoprene and intentionally excludes chemical accelerators (including Thiazoles, Thiurams, Carbamates, Thioureas, and Diphenylguanidine) known to cause skin sensitization.
- CPC-Free Composition: The underglove is also manufactured without Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC), further reducing potential sensitivity issues.
This makes it an ideal option for medical professionals who have known sensitivities to standard glove materials.
How does the puncture indication system enhance safety?
The Molnlycke Biogel PI UltraTouch S Indicator Underglove is specifically designed to function as the indicator layer in a colored Puncture Indication System. It significantly enhances safety during surgical procedures when used beneath the corresponding Biogel PI UltraTouch S overglove.
Key safety benefits of this dual-glove system include:
- Fastest Detection: The integrated system is proven to provide the fastest and largest visual indication of a puncture available.
- Immediate Visibility: The bright blue color of the underglove provides high contrast against the outer glove, making breaches instantly visible.
- Reliable Barrier: This immediate, clear warning allows the surgical team to change gloves instantly, thereby maintaining the required sterile barrier and minimizing contamination risk.
Is this underglove made from synthetic polyisoprene?
Yes, the Molnlycke Biogel PI UltraTouch S Indicator Underglove is constructed from synthetic polyisoprene, offering reliable barrier protection crucial for surgical environments.
This high-quality material is specifically chosen for enhanced safety and reduced sensitivity:
- Accelerator-Free: It excludes common chemical accelerators (like Thiazoles, Thiurams, and Carbamates) that are known skin irritants.
- Low Sensitivity: The gloves are manufactured without Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) and are entirely powder-free.
- Puncture Indication: The blue color is engineered to work as the inner layer of a dual-glove system, providing the fastest and largest visual indication of a puncture when used with the appropriate Biogel PI UltraTouch S overglove.
Is this underglove powder-free?
Yes, the Molnlycke Biogel PI UltraTouch S Indicator Underglove is confirmed to be powder-free.
This status is crucial for surgical environments, as it minimizes the risk of powder-related sensitivities, irritations, and complications for both the patient and the wearer.
Complementing this, the glove is also formulated from synthetic polyisoprene and is accelerator-free (excluding Thiazoles, Thiurams, Carbamates, Thioureas, and Diphenylguanidine) to prioritize enhanced skin safety.
Is this underglove designed for surgical procedures?
Yes, the Molnlycke Biogel PI UltraTouch S Indicator Underglove is specifically designed for use in surgical and medical environments.
Its primary function is to be paired with the Biogel PI UltraTouch S overglove to create an advanced safety feature: the colored Puncture Indication System. This system offers the fastest and largest visual indication of a barrier breach, significantly enhancing safety during operations.
Furthermore, the glove’s synthetic polyisoprene construction and exclusion of chemical accelerators help minimize the risk of chemically induced skin irritation.
Are these gloves available in many sizes?
Yes, the Molnlycke Biogel PI UltraTouch S Indicator Underglove is available in a comprehensive range of surgical sizes from 5.5 to 9, helping ensure a precise and comfortable fit for dual-gloving procedures.
The available sizes include:
- Size 5.5
- Size 6
- Size 6.5
- Size 7
- Size 7.5
- Size 8
- Size 8.5
- Size 9
How are the undergloves packaged by size?
The packaging configuration depends on the size selected, but all cases contain 4 boxes.
The pair count per box is as follows:
- Standard Sizes (5.5 through 8.5): Each box contains 50 pairs of Biogel PI UltraTouch S Indicator Undergloves.
- Larger Size (9): This size configuration contains 40 pairs per box.
Are these undergloves for single use?
Yes, the Molnlycke Biogel PI UltraTouch S Indicator Underglove is specifically designed for single use to ensure sterility and prevent cross-contamination in medical environments.
Is the indicator underglove free of common chemical accelerators?
Yes, this Molnlycke Biogel indicator underglove is specifically designed to minimize the risk of chemically-induced skin irritation and sensitivities. It is made from synthetic polyisoprene and features an entirely accelerator-free composition.
This formulation intentionally excludes several common chemical accelerators, including:
- Thiazoles
- Thiurams
- Carbamates
- Thioureas
- Diphenylguanidine
Additionally, the glove is manufactured without CPC (Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride).
