Nitrile gloves are intended as a solution to ensure hygiene in sensitive areas and processes. They are specifically designed to meet the needs of the Life Sciences sector. As a result, they provide comprehensive coverage for both the hands and the environments they work with. Ansell's Nitrilite™ 93-311 gloves feature extraordinarily low levels of extractables and particulates for even better product protection.
Life Sciences sector and the need for protection
Drug development is a task that requires precision and safety. Nitrile gloves add to both aspects, especially when taken to the more specialized field. They allow handling chemical compounds , mitigating the risk of splashes in a more effective way than latex ones.
There are other processes, such as the sterilization of operating rooms, which require greater rigor. As a consequence, personnel must be adequately equipped to avoid contamination of the environment. This can occur when using inappropriate means for cleaning critical areas, which can have serious consequences.
However, the above situation may open a major drawback in drug development. It is essential to make the care of the worker and the space compatible with ease of handling. Nitrile, precisely, is one of the materials that best suits the hands to ensure greater grip strength.
The above quality can be explained in two ways when taken to the sanitary plane. On the one hand, its pleasant touch reduces the risk of having allergic reactions in the epidermis or discomfort in constant use. On the other hand, they have a morphological structure and internal tissue that are adjusted during all phases of drug development.
Nitrile gloves for the pharmaceutical industry
Nitrile is one of the most compatible with disinfection products. The key is its potential to minimize the presence of pollutants. It is now outperforming other traditional coatings, such as natural latex. The latter results, among other things, in lower coverage.
On the other hand, nitrile is a material that is pleasant to the touch and allows technically demanding work to ensure clean rooms. The gloves are puncture-proof and cut-resistant. These two factors translate into greater ease in combining delicate and other tasks requiring strength in the healthcare sector.
The use of nitrile gloves in controlled areas is essential. The aim is to provide ample potential for gripping both small objects and machinery. In both cases, the worker can handle the equipment with considerably less risk of inaccuracies and unintentional detachment.
Medical device manufacturing and the need for sterilization
Another process that may require this type of equipment is the manufacture of medical devices. The equipment must be precise, safe and, above all, hygienic. These three factors can be ensured by manual coating with nitrile.
With the above, it is convenient to refer to the glove cleaning process. It is important to note that they can be reusable due to their thickness, which is maintained under extreme circumstances. The most important thing is to ensure that the exterior does not corrode with the use of acids used as bactericides.
In short, nitrile gloves have become a contemporary and specialized proposal. The Life Sciencessector demands greater ease of work, without sacrificing protection. For the above, Ansell is the best option for our experience and the quality of our equipment.
