Encore Latex Micro Powder Free Sterile Surgical Gloves (8.5 | Pack Of 50 Pairs)

Ansell Encore Latex Micro Powder-Free Sterile Surgical Gloves are single-use, sterile surgical gloves made from natural rubber latex. Their micro-thin design supports a precise hand feel for delicate procedures, while the brown colour may help reduce glare from bright surgical lights.

• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before putting on the gloves.
• Inspect each glove for tears, holes or discolouration. Do not use a damaged glove.
• Choose the correct glove size, as a poor fit may reduce dexterity or tear more easily.
• Hold the glove at the cuff opening, insert one hand and gently pull the cuff over the wrist. Repeat with the other hand.
• Adjust the fingers and cuffs for a snug, comfortable fit.
• To remove a glove, grasp its outside at the wrist without touching bare skin and peel it off inside out.
• Hold the removed glove in the gloved hand. Slide fingers under the cuff of the remaining glove and peel it off inside out, trapping the first glove.
• Dispose of used gloves in a designated biohazard or appropriate waste container. Do not reuse them.
• Wash or sanitise hands immediately after removing the gloves.
