Introducing the Extra-Thin Surgical Glove Sempermed Senso
22 August 2007
The extra-thin surgical glove Sempermed Senso allows for precise fine motor activities as well as ideal tactile sense with maximum safety, even in highly sensitive areas.
Ideal Tactile Properties
The extra-thin surgical glove Sempermed Senso allows for precise fine motor activities as well as ideal tactile sense. In addition to the ideal tactile sense Sempermed Senso has an even wall thickness, which feels like an almost intangible second skin.
Maximum Comfort Gloves for Microsurgery
Every hand is unique, as is the shape of the Sempermed Senso. Developed specifically for the requirements of microsurgery, its fully anatomical form with slightly curved fingers corresponds with the natural hand position. This allows for fatigueless work and a calm, relaxed handling of instruments – even during long operations. The conical shaft adjusts to fit the anatomy of the wrist, and the rolled edge provides a secure closure.
Easy to Don Surgical Gloves
The patented inner lining with the tried and tested “Supreme Technology” guarantees that it is easy to don and remove. The specially developed, web-like structure of the inside surface optimises the gliding properties between skin and film-coating and reduces the friction resistance significantly.
Intra-operative Glove Change
According to studies, 24% - 37% of surgical gloves have perforations after use (World J. Surg., 1999). During longer operations, sweat forms between the skin and the glove.
That is why Sempermed recommends changing gloves regularly during an operation. The special lining of the Sempermed Senso – with supreme technology – makes it much easier to don with moist hands.
A Perfect Surgical Glove - Sure Grip
A perfect surgical glove must never be slippery. At the same time, instruments must not “stick to the fingers”. With its micro-rough surface texture the Sempermed Senso guarantees a good grip – even in tricky situations.
With intensive research into the practical application in the operating theatre, Sempermed has found a “friction factor” for optimal performance with regard to grip. This factor indicates the friction resistance that is created when the glove film is drawn across a polished metal plate. Some microsurgical operations require an enhanced glove grip: Sempermed Senso fulfills precisely these requirements.
Perfect Grip
The surface of the porcelain immersion moulds for the Sempermed Senso is micro-rough and thus offers an ideal grip. In addition to the surface of the porcelain mould, the chemistry must also be right for a perfect grip, because chemical surface finishing assists in optimising the grip.
Absolutely Skin-friendly – the Semperit Finishing Process
By means of a special finishing process, potential allergenic proteins were reduced even further in the Sempermed Senso. Other product data:
- < 10µg/g-30µg/g latex proteins (Lowry method)
- Endotoxins < 0.5EU/ml (LAL test)
- No mercaptobenzothiazols detectable
- < 0.1% w/w dithiocarbamate
- No thiurames used
