29 April 2013
New from Ansell are the TouchNTuff 83-500 Sterile Polyisoprene and TouchNTuff 93- 700 Sterile Nitrile gloves. Claimed to offer unrivalled protection synonymous with the TouchNTuff product family, both new gloves are also designed to provide maximum comfort and performance in manufacturing environments requiring sterility.
New from Ansell are the
TouchNTuff 83-500 Sterile
Polyisoprene and TouchNTuff 93-
700 Sterile Nitrile gloves. Claimed to
offer unrivalled protection
synonymous with the TouchNTuff
product family, both new gloves are
also designed to provide maximum
comfort and performance in
manufacturing environments
requiring sterility.
The TouchNTuff 83-500 Sterile Polyisoprene glove is made of 100% synthetic polyisoprene, a polymer designed to mimic the structure and attributes of natural rubber, suitable for users with latex allergies (Type I). The style provides wearers with a 'second skin' fit and feel that delivers high levels of comfort.
Combined with Ansell SureFit Technology, the gloves securely fit to the forearm and prevent the cuff from rolling down, maintaining the integrity of a sterile environment. The gloves also offer an enhanced anti-slip finish on the surface of the fingers and palm for a greater degree of grip in both wet and dry work environments.
The new TouchNTuff93-700 Sterile Nitrile glove style offers robust performance and chemical splash protection. Laboratory tests indicate the thinner gloves are more puncture and tear-resistant than latex alternatives, maximising protection and providing superior strength.
Designed for sterile environments, the TouchNTuff 93-700 glove style provides a higher level of chemical splash exposure resistance for a wide range of chemicals, maintaining a high degree of comfort, longer cuffs for forearm safety and textured fingertips for optimal grip performance.
As the global pharmaceutical market grows, so will the need for protective solutions within sterile environments. Natural rubber latex has traditionally been used in the manufacturing of personal protection equipment. However research conducted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that as many as 17% of people are allergic to latex. The TouchNTuff family of products is at the forefront of the industry move away from the use of natural latex and is said to be a market leader in meeting the needs of workers at risk. Stand 56
