The gloves are appropriate for use during invasive and non-invasive medical procedures requiring sterility. ## Device Story Ultrafree Plus Sterile Latex Powder-Free Surgical Gloves are natural rubber latex gloves designed for use by operating room personnel. The device acts as a physical barrier to protect surgical wounds from contamination during invasive and non-invasive medical procedures. The gloves are provided sterile. They are used in hospital and healthcare facility settings. The device benefits the patient by reducing the risk of contamination during surgery. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Testing included systemic toxicity (no toxic reactions), intracutaneous reactivity (no reactivity), and Guinea Pig Maximization (no irritation). Physical performance met ASTM D3577-99 requirements for tensile strength and elongation. Barrier defects met 21 CFR §800.20 (AQL = 2.5). Residual powder levels were tested per ASTM D6124-97, confirming values below 4 mg per glove. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Natural rubber latex. Form factor: Sterile surgical glove. Standards: ASTM D3577-99 (tensile strength, elongation, powder residue), ASTM D6124-97 (residual powder), 21 CFR §800.20 (barrier defects). Powder-free design. ## 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 - Ultrafree Sterile Latex Powder-Free Surgical Gloves ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
