RNS No 8841c PACIFIC DUNLOP 15th June 1998 ANSELL ANNOUNCES WORLD FIRST IN SURGICAL GLOVES Ansell, a division of Australia's Pacific Dunlop Limited, has released the world's first surgical gloves made from polyurethane. The "Elite" and "Ovation" brand polyurethane gloves, are manufactured from Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomers (TPUs), and closely simulate the performance and barrier characteristics of natural rubber latex surgical gloves. The Managing Director of Ansell, Mr Harry Boon, said the development and production of the glove was a world first. "This, new non-latex, powder-free surgical glove has been developed especially for healthcare workers and patients with natural rubber latex sensitivities," Mr Boon said. "Unlike other products, however, Elite and Ovation are completely free from vulcanising agents and accelerators, thereby reducing the risk of allergies related to chemicals used in manufacturing latex or other synthetic gloves. "Ansell's unique polyurethane formulation offers superior puncture resistance, comfort, tactile sensitivity and an enhanced grip, while its patented "Dermashield" coating allows excellent donning, even with damp hands, a factor of critical importance to surgeons." Mr Boon said TPUs had been used for decades in a number of industries requiring excellent tensile strength, load-bearing capacity and resistance to abrasion, ozone, oxygen, fuel, oil and solvents. We are thrilled with this breakthrough," he said. "Ansell is launching the most technically advanced surgical glove available in the world market. This innovation not only better meets the needs of our customers, but also underscores the importance of Ansell's research and development program. In the past 12 months, Ansell has introduced half a dozen new products across our range. It is this leadership in research and development, combined with comprehensive global marketing programs and low cost, highly automated manufacturing which is helping fuel Ansell's strong growth. These factors have led to Ansell's position as the world's largest manufacturer and marketer meeting the growing needs for natural latex and synthetic barrier protective products."
