Powder-Free Gloves Reduce Pathogen RisksThe Gammex powder-free glove with AMT Antimicrobial Technology from Ansell is the first surgical glove that incorporates a proprietary antimicrobial coating to provide an additional level of protection to surgical staff against viruses and bacteria in the event of a breach during surgery.
AMT Antimicrobial Technology reduces surgical staff risks of exposure to blood-borne pathogens through a higher level of protection. Extensive in vitro laboratory testing showed that the antimicrobial coating killed >99% of Hepatitis C and 99% of HIV-1 (strain Mn) within 60 sec of exposure through a simulated glove breach.
The gloves also kill between 99.7% to >99.999% of eight common healthcare infectious bacteria, comprising gram-positive, gram-negative, and drug-resistant bacteria (e.g., MRSA, VRE) within 60 sec from exposure.
Gammex gloves feature a proprietary inner coating containing skin-friendly agents and chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG), an effective antimicrobial agent commonly found in products such as antiseptics and mouthwash.
