## Indications for Use

The gloves are intended to be worn on the hand of healthcare personnel, operating room personnel and similar personnel to prevent contamination between the healthcare or similar personnel and the patient's body, fluids, waste, or environment.

## Device Story

Profeel Synthetic Copolymer Surgical Gloves (Powdered) are Class I synthetic surgeon's gloves made of styrene-butadiene block copolymer. Used by surgeons and operating room personnel to provide a protective barrier between the wearer and the patient, fluids, waste, or the environment. The device is worn on the hands during surgical procedures to prevent cross-contamination. It functions as a physical barrier, meeting ASTM D3577-91 Type 2 standards for physical properties, dimensions, and watertight integrity.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device was tested for compliance with ASTM D3577-91 Type 2 standards, including watertight (1000 ml) testing (S-4, AQL 1.5), dimensions (length and palm width), and physical properties (tensile strength and ultimate elongation) before and after aging. Results met or exceeded all ASTM requirements.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Styrene-butadiene block copolymer. Form factor: Powdered surgical glove. Standards: ASTM D3577-91 Type 2. Performance: Watertight (1000 ml) per S-4, AQL 1.5. Physical properties: Tensile strength >17 MPa (before aging), >12 MPa (after aging); Ultimate elongation >650% (before aging), >490% (after aging).

## Regulatory Identification

A non-powdered surgeon's glove is a device intended to be worn on the hands of operating room personnel to protect a surgical wound from contamination. A non-powdered surgeon's glove does not incorporate powder for purposes other than manufacturing. The final finished glove includes only residual powder from manufacturing.

## Predicate Devices

- Elastyren Surgical Glove
