ANSELL HEALTHCARE has announced that it has received the CE Mark for Gammex Powder-Free gloves with AMT Antimicrobial Technology – providing protection against some pathogens and drug-resistant bacteria in the event of a glove breach.
The gloves, made of natural rubber latex, provide the same feel, sensitivity, flexibility and dexterity as conventional gloves when manipulating and handling instruments. The main difference is the active antimicrobial layer which contains chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG). This proprietary technology can provide ongoing antiviral and antibacterial protection against HIV, hepatitis C and infectious bacteria
