Latex Surgical Gloves are highly flexible and comfortable to wear. Over the years, the demand for our Latex Surgical Gloves has increased consistently in the national market. Latex surgical gloves are made from natural rubber latex which provide excellent tactile sensitivity and comfort. Latex material is known to have very high elasticity meaning the gloves can stretch well to allow easy donning.

Although surgical gloves are now available in new material like polyisoprene, latex continue to be the material of choice for surgical gloves by surgeons. Today, there are many latex glove options available due to improved technology. For instance, surgical gloves with polymer inner coating are available to provide ease of donning gloves even if hands are damp or dry. Other improvements include underglove indicators that are used while double-gloving to warn surgeons of glove punctures that may occur. The rising standard of living together with the increasing importance of controlling cross contamination and infections in hospitals and clinics have led to increased demand for latex surgical gloves in markets such as China and India.

Market

There exists immense opportunities for growth in the global surgical latex gloves market given the fact that dozens of pairs of medical gloves are utilized in a single day in hospitals and laboratorial settings, and the inherent intrinsic indispensability of the product among surgeons, practitioners, and healthcare workers.

Potential Consumers

- Medical & chemical laboratories.  
- Medical clinics. 
- Chemical  industry.  
- Food industry 
- Households for protection purposes. 

Types 

Powder Free Latex Surgical Gloves, Pre Powdered Latex Surgical Gloves, Long Latex Surgical Gloves, Powder Free Latex Examination Gloves, Pre Powdered Latex Examination Gloves and many others.

Technology and Production Process 
The equipments are: pot mills with jars, a paddle mixer, dipping vats, coagulating tanks, a hot air oven, a micrometer, a hardness tester, a weighing balance and moulds. The raw materials are: natural rubber latex, anti oxides, sulphur, accelerators, zinc oxide and packaging materials.
In manufacturing surgical gloves, the ammonia content of the latex is first reduced to about 0.1% by blowing air and by treating with formaldehyde. Then dispersion of various additives is made and added in the latex compound. Later, a coagulant solution is prepared with the mould of aluminum, wood, glass or porcelain, dipped in the coagulant solution and then into the latex compound. After withdrawal, the mould is rotated to assure even distribution of latex film deposits. The next operations are leaching, drying and preliminary finishing operations such as beading. Finally, the gloves are cured in hot air or stream, packed and marketed.
