September 6, 2024- Ansell has won the 2024 World of Safety & Health Asia Award under the Safety & Health Category. This win recognizes the innovative GAMMEX® PI Plus Glove-in-Glove™ System – a unique two-in-one double gloving system – for its excellence in improving surgical safety and efficiency. The system’s user-centric design, combined with its ergonomic comfort, low allergenicity, and commitment to sustainability, underscores Ansell’s dedication to improving the healthcare environment.
GAMMEX® PI Plus Glove-in-Glove™ System addresses common challenges associated with double gloving – such as ease of donning and the time needed to double glove – to promote better compliance with recommended best practices. It comes with a pair of green inner and white outer polyisoprene surgical gloves that are already pre-donned and aligned at the fingertips, enabling wearers to double glove in one don and save half the donning time. Additionally, its intentional two-in-one design also easily allows healthcare professionals to detect a breach in their outer glove, and subsequently allow prompt replacement of gloves during surgeries. A study found that double gloving with a colored inner glove increases visual breach identification by up to 86%.
Both inner and outer gloves are formulated with its advanced skin-friendly technology (PI-KARE™ Technology). As a result, GAMMEX® PI Plus Glove-in-Glove™ System’s low allergenicity profile presents no risk of latex allergies and at the same time do not contain any of the standard chemical accelerators traditionally known to cause allergic contact dermatitis.
