Cardinal re-launches powder-free glove range

ERJ staff report (DS)

Dublin, Ohio - Cardinal Health has launched its new Protexis Latex Hydrogel surgical gloves -- sterile latex, powder-free surgical gloves with hydrogel coating -- and the new Protexis brand name for its powder-free surgical glove portfolio.

The new Protexis brand will absorb all of the existing Cardinal Health powder-free brands, including Duraprene, Esteem, Protegrity, and Ultrafree. Cardinal said the new brand offers a simple, straightforward naming architecture that clearly communicates the material from which the gloves are made as well as any key features.

The company said, “The Protexis™ powder-free surgical glove portfolio includes a proprietary glove mold with an independent thumb design that provides more natural hand movement along with an interlocking, beaded cuff design that reduces roll-down.”
