What it is

What it is

Surgical and examination gloves in PU replace latex in professionals and patients with allergy. Unlike nitrile (dominant globally), PU offers superior tactile sensitivity in delicate surgeries. Growing market in cardiovascular surgery and neurosurgery where manual precision is critical.

The PU technology applied here is typically hypoallergenic pu for disposable gloves, selected for the combination of mechanical, chemical and processing properties suitable for the application. Specific formulations vary by equipment manufacturer or final integrator, but the base system has stable characteristics documented in technical literature and segment-specific standards.

Why it matters

Why it matters

For medical device manufacturers and hospital networks, pu medical gloves is a sensitive decision on three dimensions: regulatory compliance (ANVISA, FDA, CE MDR — each with its own process and years of qualification), clinical performance (patients depend on the product working as specified), and civil liability in case of failure.

Current drivers. Population aging expands demand for chronic devices — continuous monitoring, orthopedics, prolonged ventilation. Hospital digitalization creates new wearable products with specific requirements. Global regulatory hardening (European MDR replacing MDD, updated FDA QSR) forces supplier requalification and opens windows for those with structured compliance. ISO 10993 biocompatibility and supply chain traceability became basic requirements, not differentiators.
