Executive Product Overview
Cardinal Health Protexis™ PI Surgical Gloves offer operating room teams a 100% synthetic polyisoprene alternative that reproduces the elasticity, anatomical drape, and tactile responsiveness of natural rubber latex without Type I allergen risks. Engineered specifically for clinical facilities prioritizing latex safety and tactile precision during delicate procedures, these powder-free gloves feature a heavy-duty 9 mil fingertip thickness for dependable barrier protection.
Constructed with Cardinal's proprietary Surface Modification Technology (SMT™), the exterior finish delivers a bare-hand tactile feel and slip-resistant grip on surgical instrumentation. Lab-tested against 8 key cytotoxic agents, Protexis™ PI gloves comply with standard operating room protocols across general surgery, ambulatory surgical centers (ASC), and oncology suites.
Key Technical & Operational Features
- 100% Synthetic Polyisoprene Chemistry: Complete elimination of natural rubber latex proteins to safeguard sensitized clinical staff and surgical patients.
- SMT™ Bare-Hand Finish: Advanced surface treatment optimizes instrument control and tactile feedback without relying on heavy external textures or coatings.
- Chemotherapy Permeation Tested: Lab-tested against Cisplatin, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin HCl, Etoposide, Fluorouracil, Methotrexate, Paclitaxel, and Vincristine Sulfate.
- Proportional Gauntlet Lengths: Scaled cuff lengths (11.3" to 11.8") ensure exact wrist and forearm coverage across all hand proportions.
- Classic Ivory Appearance: Natural neutral tone minimizes glare under surgical lighting while maintaining a traditional surgical glove aesthetic.
- Coating-Free Interior: Formulated without internal polymer coatings or cornstarch powder, reducing foreign-body site contamination risks.
Facility Procurement & Risk Mitigation Insight
Standardizing surgical suites on Protexis™ PI synthetic polyisoprene gloves streamlines facility PPE inventory while eliminating latex allergen liability. The SMT™ finish provides surgeons with the high tactile sensitivity required for microsurgery without requiring separate low-thickness SKUs.
