MEDICAL GLOVES

Technology/Process Description:
Primus manufactures both Pre Powdered and Powder free gloves.

Pre powdered gloves are manufactured from high quality Natural Rubber Latex. High quality of these gloves is ensured by in-process control which covers all aspects of manufacturing. Manufacturing and packing is done under clean
and hygienic environment which ensures low Bio-burden on the gloves. In-line leaching process is used to reduce content of soluble proteins. Thiurams are avoided for lower allergic potential. These gloves are lightly powdered with
USP grade absorbable corn starch.
The powder free gloves are skin friendly as they are powder free. Manufacturing and packing is done under clean and hygienic environment which ensures low Bio-burden on the gloves. In-line leaching process is used to reduce
content of soluble proteins. Thiurams are avoided for lower allergic potential.
