Ideal for allergy prevention
Gammex® PF IsoDerm® and
Gammex® PF IsoDerm® Sensitive surgical gloves offer a massive
reduction in potential skin reactions
and allergies. Manufactured with a
synthetic polyisoprene formulation,
the gloves are free of the natural
rubber latex proteins that can provoke
Type I allergies.
Prevalence of glove-related
allergies
• Healthcare workers: 3-11%
• Operating room personnel: 8-10%
• General population: <1%
• Children with spina bifida 32-52%
Synthetic polyisoprene:
a good alternative to
natural rubber latex
Modern synthetic polyisoprene is
designed to be similar to natural
rubber in structure and properties.
The IsoDerm® formulation used in
all Gammex® PF IsoDerm® surgical
gloves stands for high flexibility,
comfortable latex-like fit, the same
“touch and feel” as latex.
Unparalleled safety
• Safety is assured through quality
controls before, during and after
final packaging, guaranteeing a low
risk of pinholes and high barrier
protection.
• Free from natural rubber latex
proteins.
• Low chemical residual content.

typical for the Gammex® range of
products, with the benefits of a
synthetic formulation.

polyisoprene formulation.

Gammex® PF
IsoDerm® Sensitive
In addition to the proven qualities of
the standard Gammex® PF IsoDerm®
surgical glove, the new Gammex® PF
IsoDerm® Sensitive surgical glove
provides the wearer with extra benefits.
• Extra thin(1) for ultimate sensitivity
when used as an upper glove.
• Darker green for easy non-latex
identification.
• Can be used as an inner glove in a
double-gloving solution.
(1) The Gammex® PF IsoDerm® Sensitive glove is 15%
thinner than a standard powder-free polyisoprene
surgical glove.
Most comfortable
100% synthetic
double-gloving
solution
When double-gloving is required for
additional safety for both patient and
healthcare worker, Ansell now offers
a complete 100% synthetic polyisoprene
double-gloving solution that
guarantees optimal protection and
comfort at all times. Gammex® PF
Isoderm® is designed to be used as a
top glove and pairs perfectly with the
Gammex® PF IsoDerm® Sensitive
which functions as an inner glove.
The different green colours of both
gloves make them easy to identify in
a latex-free operating room
environment.
A 1992 study(2) showed that doublegloving
by surgeons reduces the
perforation rate of the inner glove by
at least 70%.
