Latex Surgical Gloves - Surgeon Selection Guide
Latex Surgical Glove Lines Available
- Ansell GAMMEX PF Sensitive - Sterile, powder-free latex surgical gloves. Low protein content - engineered to minimize Type I latex sensitization risk while preserving the tactile performance surgeons value. AQL 1.0. Multiple sizes. The primary GAMMEX latex surgical line for most OR programs.
- Ansell Encore Acclaim - Sterile, powder-free latex surgical gloves, Size 8.5, 50 pr/bx, 4 bx/cs (200 gloves/case). Anatomically designed for reduced hand fatigue during extended surgical cases. Textured finish for instrument grip in wet and dry conditions. Part of Ansell's trusted Encore surgical family with a long OR track record.
- Ansell Perry Radiation Protection Surgical Gloves - Sterile, powder-free, radiation-attenuating latex surgical gloves. Size 7, 5 pr/cs. For cardiac catheterization labs, interventional radiology, vascular surgery, and any fluoroscopy-guided procedure where cumulative hand radiation dose is a clinical concern.
The latex sensitization discussion is the most clinically significant consideration in surgical latex procurement. GAMMEX PF Sensitive addresses this with low-protein latex formulation - the sensitization risk driver is not latex itself but the allergenic proteins present in natural rubber, and low-protein manufacturing substantially reduces that exposure. Confirming facility latex allergy screening protocols and documenting pre-operative latex allergy status for all patients scheduled for procedures using latex gloves is the institutional responsibility that complements supplier product selection.

Latex surgical gloves remain clinically appropriate and preferred for many surgical programs, particularly where surgeons have established preferences and where latex allergy screening is consistently implemented. Managing the latex surgical formulary well means maintaining size coverage across all surgeons on the schedule, running low-protein lines where sensitization risk is a concern, and having radiation-protective options available for interventional programs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between GAMMEX PF Sensitive and standard GAMMEX latex gloves?
GAMMEX PF Sensitive is specifically formulated for lower latex protein content compared to standard GAMMEX latex. Lower protein content reduces the Type I latex sensitization risk for patients and surgical staff who are exposed to latex during procedures. For programs concerned about cumulative latex protein exposure in high-volume surgical environments, the PF Sensitive formulation is the appropriate formulary choice while maintaining latex material properties.
Do Ansell Perry radiation gloves actually reduce hand dose during fluoroscopy?
Yes. Ansell Perry gloves incorporate radiation-attenuating materials validated to reduce scatter radiation exposure to the hands during fluoroscopic procedures. The compact 5 pr/cs packaging reflects the specialized nature of the product - these are precision-specified items for programs where occupational radiation exposure management is part of the radiation safety program, not high-volume daily-use gloves.
