New antimicrobal glove

May 5, 2010

ANSELL has launched a new world-first Powder Free antimicrobial glove, using proprietary so-called AMT Antimicrobial Technology developed by the company. The GAMMEX glove is designed with a proprietary antimicrobial coating which according to Ansell’s research is effective in killing between 99.7%-99.9% of eight of the most common healthcare infectious bacteria, comprising gram-positive, gram-negative, and drug-resistant bacteria within just 60 seconds from exposure. Additionally the company claims that the glove’s antimicrobial coating killed 99% per cent of Hepatitis C1 and 99% of HIV-1 (strain Mn) within 60 seconds of exposure through a simulated glove breach. The company said the Gammex gloves are now set to progressively roll out in all of its markets over the coming months. For more info see www.ansell.com.
