Medline DermAssure Green Surgical Gloves

A New Surgical Glove Not Made With Chemical Accelerators Or Natural Rubber Latex

First there were powder-free surgical gloves. Then there were surgical gloves made without natural rubber latex. Now there is Medline DermAssure Green — an advanced surgical glove made without natural rubber latex, without powder and without chemical accelerators to enhance performance and promote safety while double gloving.

Over 80% of reported glove-associated allergic contact dermatitis is attributed to chemical accelerators.1 Learn More

Advancing Comfort and Tactile Sensitivity

DermAssure Green is manufactured with a technologically advanced formulation that is not made with chemical accelerators, but still provides the outstanding comfort and performance you expect and need.

DermAssure Green is made with next-generation synthetic materials for a soft feel and enhanced tactile sensitivity. The secret to DermAssure’s success is a new polychloroprene formulation that provides an enhanced fit and flexibility to provide comfort during long procedures and allows for more natural movement compared to current synthetic gloves not made with accelerators.

Double Gloving with DermAssure Green

The risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens is a major concern for surgeons and operating room staff. Often undetectable to the human eye, microperforations in surgical gloves are large enough to allow pathogens to pass between the glove wearer and the patient and cause infection.

The Ideal Underglove

The evidence for double gloving is overwhelming and it’s quickly becoming standard practice. The CDC has endorsed double gloving as have the seven members of the Council on Surgical & Perioperative Safety, which includes the American College of Surgeons, AORN, the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and the Association of Surgical Technologists.5

  • Double-gloving can reduce the risk of exposure to blood and bodily fluid by as much as 87% if the outer glove is punctured.6
  • In one study, more than three-fourths (77%) of 582 glove wearers who wore a color-coded double-glove system detected glove perforations.5

Which Glove Has a Perforation?

They both do.

Let Medline put double gloving into action at your facility with our See Green for Safety double-gloving system. This provides staff and surgeons with the techniques necessary to not only lower the incidence of glove perforations they encounter, but also quickly identify perforations should they occur.

At no cost to your facility, Medline will provide a day’s worth of green under gloves, such as our DermAssure Green gloves not made with chemical accelerators. The See Green for Safety program provides a great opportunity to educate your staff on how they can decrease cross contamination and exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
