Disposable gloves
18 November 2013
Ansell has launched four new single-use gloves for the EMEA life sciences industry.
Because workers in life sciences wear gloves all day, the composition of their gloves can actively contribute to the onset of allergies.
The ultra-thin TouchNTuff 73-300 and 73-500 sensitive Neoprene gloves offer protection against both Type I and Type IV allergies and are intended for biotech, [sterile] pharmaceutical labs and medical device manufacturing. The premium 'latex-feel' TouchNTuff 83-300, the company’s first industrial polyisoprene glove, was developed for use in aseptic or clean environments. It also exists in a sterile version: TouchNTuff 83-500. The new TouchNTuff 93-300 nitrile gloves cater to electronics manufacturing.
