Importance of allergy management as a dental professional
Allergies are overreactions of the immune system to substances, leading to symptoms like
rashes, swelling, sneezing and more. Type IV allergy, common in skin contact with certain
chemicals or metals, often affects dentists and patients using latex or nitrile gloves with
accelerators. These accelerators can cause skin damage and dermatitis. Using accelerator-
free gloves helps prevent Type IV allergy. These gloves are more durable, comfortable, and
provide better protection. Switching to accelerator-free gloves helps avoid type IV allergies,
ensuring a safer, more comfortable dental experience.
Ansell's HYDRASOFT™ Technology is an odorless, water-based coating applied on the inside of the glove that helps retain moisture and rehydrate dry skin to improve the wearers’ skin condition.
Ansell's solutions portfolio consists of gloves that are made from a durable and soft nitrile formulation manufactured without chemical accelerators, helping to protect users from Type IV chemical allergies.
Our ERGOFORM™ Ergonomic Design Technology allows us to engineer more comfortable gloves that improve performance and ease musculoskeletal stress that could lead to injuries.
