Description

  • Enhanced scattered radiation protection: Suitable for use with C-Arms, these lead-free gloves reduce skin-dose exposure to scattered radiation by 63.0%, compared to just 1%** with standard surgical gloves
  • Assured dexterity and tactile sensitivity: Ansell’s proprietary, soft, malleable polyisoprene formulation ensures the dexterity, tactile sensitivity and comfort needed for image-guided interventional procedures (fluoroscopy)
  • Reduced allergy risks: These sterile, non-latex gloves eliminate the risk of a Type I latex allergy while their non-sensitizing formulation excludes chemical accelerators known to cause allergic contact dermatitis
  • Strengthened grip: These black specialty gloves also feature a textured finish for good grip control

IMPORTANT: These gloves are classified as a personal protective shield and are not a medical device. They must be used in combination with medical gloves if they come in contact with blood
or other bodily fluids.

CAUTION: These radiation attenuation gloves are designed to protect hands from scattered radiation exposure originating from the X-ray beam during fluoroscopic procedures. They are not intended for use in direct or primary X-ray beams.
