FYI: Biogel gloves feature a powder-free, polymer coating with
hydrophilic properties that are meant to conform to damp or dry
hands. According to the company's own research, 94% of surgeons
rated the comfort of Biogel polyisoprene synthetic gloves as good or
better than Biogel Latex. Biogel gloves are manufactured using a
proprietary process and are tested through 13 quality checks,
according to the company, including water leak testing, air inflation
and visual inspection. The company touts the durability of Biogel PI
gloves, which, although more expensive than latex, are less suscepti-
ble to damage and therefore reduce long-term inventory costs.
