The gloves are powder-free, sterile latex surgical gloves with a coating of hydrogel, also called acrylic hydrogel polymer. This hydrophilic substance is chemically adhered to the inside of the glove and provides a better lubrication than powder. Because of the gel’s properties, the gloves slide on easily in wet or dry conditions.
The company will move its other powder-free brands — Esteem, Protegrity, Duraprene and Ultrafree — under the Protexis line beginning in 2012.
