Molnlycke Biogel Skinsense Indicator Underglove – Advanced Safety for Surgical Excellence

The Molnlycke Biogel Skinsense Indicator Underglove is an essential component for surgical teams requiring premium protection without the risks of natural rubber latex. Engineered from synthetic polychloroprene, this underglove offers the tactile sensitivity of latex while providing a chemical-resistant barrier. Designed primarily as an inner glove for double-gloving, its distinct blue color works in tandem with Biogel overgloves to provide immediate visual alerts in the event of a breach.

The Gold Standard in Puncture Indication

Safety is not just about the barrier; it’s about awareness. The Molnlycke Biogel Skinsense Indicator Underglove is a core part of the Biogel® Puncture Indication® System™. Clinical data has shown that this system detects up to 97% of glove perforations, allowing the wearer to recognize and react to punctures instantly. Furthermore, studies indicate that non-Biogel gloves are 3.5 times more likely to fail, making the Skinsense series a critical choice for infection control.

Key Features & Clinical Benefits

• Latex-Free Polychloroprene: Synthetic elastomer construction eliminates the risk of Type I latex protein allergies for both clinicians and patients.

• Chemotherapy Approved: Tested according to ASTM 6978-05, these gloves are safe for use with chemotherapy agents, providing a reliable barrier during hazardous drug handling.

• Unique Biogel® Coating: The inner polymer coating facilitates easy donning—even with damp hands—while soothing the skin to help prevent moisture loss during long procedures.

• Unrivaled Quality (AQL 0.65): With an industry-leading AQL of 0.65 for freedom from holes, every single glove is air-inflation tested and visually inspected before packaging.

• Low Dermatitis Potential: Specifically formulated to reduce the potential for sensitizing users to chemical additives, making it ideal for staff with sensitive skin.

• Ergonomic Design: Features curved fingers and a beaded cuff for a secure fit that reduces hand fatigue and prevents glove roll-down.

Why Professionals Choose Biogel Skinsense

In addition to its safety features, the Molnlycke Biogel Skinsense Indicator Underglove is designed for the reality of the operating room. The smooth surface is engineered for effortless double-donning, ensuring that adding a second layer of protection doesn’t compromise speed or tactile feedback. The non-leachable blue pigment ensures that the puncture indication remains clear and reliable throughout the duration of the surgery.

Trusted Reliability for High-Stakes Procedures

Whether used in oncology, general surgery, or high-risk trauma cases, the Molnlycke Biogel Skinsense Indicator Underglove provides the peace of mind that comes with superior engineering. By removing the variables of latex and powder, and adding a high-contrast indication system, Molnlycke ensures that the surgical team can focus entirely on the patient.

Clinical Note: While the Molnlycke Biogel Skinsense Indicator Underglove can be worn alone, its puncture detection capabilities are maximized when used as an underglove beneath a standard Biogel surgical overglove.
