Sterile Surgical Gloves Size 8.0

Description

1. Product Overview

The Sterile Surgical Gloves Size 8.0 are premium-grade, single-use, powder-free natural rubber latex (NRL) gloves designed for high-risk surgical environments. Their primary industrial use is in operating theaters, invasive procedures, and sterile compounding settings where precision, barrier protection, and infection control are non-negotiable. The key value proposition is optimal fit for size 8.0 hands—reducing fatigue, improving tactile sensitivity, and minimizing glove failure events. With global surgical volumes rising and stricter regulatory enforcement on OR safety, standardized sizing across sterile glove SKUs has become a strategic procurement priority to reduce cross-contamination and improve staff compliance.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Material Composition: Natural rubber latex (NRL), conforming to ASTM D3577 and EN 455 standards; powder-free chlorinated finish for easy donning.

• Chemical & Microbial Barrier: Meets AQL 1.5 (medical-grade) for pinhole defects; viral penetration resistance tested (ISO 16604).

• Physical Characteristics:

  • Form: Ambidextrous (hand-specific options available on request)

  • Color: Natural off-white

  • Texture: Micro-roughened fingertips and palm for wet/dry grip

  • Thickness: 0.20 mm (±0.03 mm) at palm

• Size Specification: Size 8.0 (nominal width 95–100 mm, length ≥ 285 mm)

• Packaging Options:

  • 50 pairs per dispenser box (inner peel pouch, sterile)

  • 20 boxes per master carton (1,000 pairs)

  • Sterilization method: Ethylene oxide (EO) or gamma irradiation (specify on order)

• Shelf Life: 5 years from date of manufacture under controlled storage (15–25°C, <60% RH)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary Industries: Hospital surgical departments, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), dental surgery clinics, veterinary surgery, pharmaceutical sterile fill-finish, and emergency medical services (EMS).

• Specific Use Cases:

  • General surgery (laparotomy, orthopedic, cardiac)

  • High-precision procedures (microsurgery, ophthalmic) requiring tactile feedback

  • Long-duration surgeries (>2 hours) where size 8.0 hand fit reduces pinch points

• Performance Advantage: Compared to nitrile or neoprene alternatives, this latex formulation provides higher tensile strength (≥24 MPa) and greater elasticity (break elongation ≥750%), reducing tear risk during double-gloving or instrument handling.

• Efficiency & Cost Benefit: Standardized size 8.0 inventory reduces surgical delays from improper fit; lower failure rate (AQL 1.5 vs industry baseline 2.5) reduces non-conforming goods and resterilization costs.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality Consistency: Batch-to-batch ≤3% coefficient of variation in tensile and modulus (ISO 2859-1 inspected). Full traceability from latex harvest to final sterilization.

• Supply Reliability: Dedicated manufacturing lines for size 8.0 ensure no “size mixing” contamination. Safety stock agreements available for GPOs and health systems.

• Logistics Capability: 48-hour dispatch from regional hubs (Asia, Europe, North America); temperature-controlled shipping to preserve latex properties.

• Price Competitiveness: Direct-from-manufacturer pricing eliminates distributor markups; volume discounts up to 18% for annual contracts >5 million pairs.

• Sustainability: Biodegradable latex (ASTM D5526 compliant). Carbon-neutral shipment options via verified offsets. No casein or ammonia in processing—reduces protein allergens.

• Technical Support: Full regulatory dossiers (CE MDR, FDA 510(k), UKCA), sterility validation reports, and glove compatibility chart for surgical instruments provided via digital portal.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 5,000 pairs (5 master cartons) per size 8.0 single SKU

• Bulk Order Threshold (20 MT equivalent): 1,200,000 pairs (approx. 1,200 master cartons) – qualifies for dedicated lot production and private labeling

• Loading Capacity per 20FT Container:

  • 1,600 master cartons = 80,000 boxes = 4,000,000 pairs

  • Net weight: ~18,500 kg (20 MT gross) – palletized with desiccant and humidity indicators

Recommended for strategic buyers: Integrate size 8.0 as a standalone SKU in your surgical consumables catalog to reduce fit-related adverse events and standardize surgeon preference items. Request a certificate of analysis (COA) and sterile barrier validation with your first sample order.
