Glove Manufacturing
Ansell's scientific research program continues to pioneer work into the critical hand barrier protection issues facing healthcare workers today. Key opinion leaders in the fields of latex and chemical allergy, barrier effectiveness, and polymer science are developing viable answers to complex challenges. Goals include: identification and elimination of relevant protein allergens and chemical allergens; studies which increase the understanding of the epidemiology of latex sensitization; and research into the barrier effectiveness of latex and nonlatex gloving alternatives.
New technologies, new polymers, and evolving clinical needs are all part of the driving force behind our efforts to make better products, more cost effectively. It's what we call "Excellence in Process." Ansell's manufacturing goals are to produce superior, low-allergen latex gloves and to further develop latex-free alternatives. Continued product improvement and development will include the introduction of the new low-allergen, powder-free gloves and new powder-free synthetic gloves such as neoprene, nitrile and polyurethane.
As research reveals new measures of controlling latex and chemical sensitivities and barrier effectiveness of new polymers, Ansell is committed to further redefining production techniques, in order to provide products which are among the safest and most cost effective available.
Ansell is committed to:
- Providing advanced solutions to hand barrier protection problems.
- Offering total gloving environments: powder-free, synthetic and chemical protection.
- Independent research: proactively funds key opinion leader research into critical gloving issues.
- Delivering quality, service, and efficiency as a business partner.
- Providing excellent value for money with respect to our hand barrier protection product line.
Today's Ansell brings together the glove lines of Ansell, Perry, and most recently, Johnson & Johnson, to become one company exclusively dedicated to medical gloves. As a result, Ansell offers the broadest line of gloves on the market including surgical, specialty and examination in latex and synthetic, powdered and powder-free in choices that are as varied and as technologically advanced as the procedures you perform every day.
