New Surgical Glove
Ultrafree Max
The Ultrafree(tm) Max Powder-Free Surgical Glove from Allegiance Healthcare Corporation is designed to be the thickest and strongest of any Allegiance glove by providing maximum strength for durability and maximum thickness for extra protection while offering outstanding physical performance in a powder-free glove. The glove is lubricated for quick and easy donning and features a dark brown color to reduce glare during intense surgical procedures. Its beaded cuff helps the glove stay in place and prevents rolldown, and the 12" length adds extended hand and wrist coverage. The proprietary custom mold with independent thumb allows exceptional fit and comfort.
The Ultrafree Max glove is sterilized with Allegiance's Ster-E-Beam(sm) process to uphold physical performance, creating a soft yet durable glove with outstanding properties. This innovative sterilization technology offers the shortest effective process cycle time of any sterilization method, resulting in less chance of material damage. Since no chemicals are used in this process, the end product is clean, environmentally safe, and nontoxic.
