Higher Standards For Surgical Sterile Latex Free Gloves
Due to the sterilization process, higher minimums for Acceptance Quality Limits (AQL), and strict packaging standards, sterile latex gloves tend cost more to produce than non-sterile latex gloves. Designed for neurosurgery, cardiovascular surgery, plastic surgery, and ophthalmology procedures, some manufacturers offer gloves that can be used for either double-gloving or as an overglove when used for double-gloving purposes. Some are even thinner than standard gloves to enhance the surgeon’s tactile sensitivity.
