Latex- and powder-free gloves, an endoscope image quality tester and latex-free anti-embolism stockings.

Barrier Protection Without Latex Risks
Ansell Healthcare has added 2 new options to its line of 100% synthetic polyisoprene surgical gloves: Derma Prene Iso Touch White and Derma Prene Iso Touch Micro White (made thinner for delicate procedures). The latex- and powder-free gloves have been designed to provide ergonomically comfortable barrier protection while avoiding the risk of skin sensitivity and irritation. Ansell's SureFit Technology prevents cuffs from rolling down. A polymer coating allows easy donning whether hands are dry, damp or double-gloved. Plus, the company says, a smooth-finish, anti-slip surface provides even greater grip than other Derma Prene gloves. www.ansellhealthcare.com
