Medical Gloves - Biogel Quality
At Mölnlycke everything we do is about supporting the performance of our customers. This means supplying them with the most reliable – and most precise – equipment possible. This commitment begins with the design and engineering of Biogel® gloves, and flows right through to the OR.
Testing processes of our healthcare gloves
Biogel® surgical gloves undergo an array of quality tests before they leave our factory – all designed to ensure your protection. This is proven with our industry-leading AQL (Acceptance Quality Level) level of only 0.65 1 and a clinical comparison study which concluded that non-Biogel gloves were 3.5 times as likely to fail than Biogel gloves 2 .
Physical properties tests
Biogel gloves exceed industry standard for force at break, tensile strength and elongation 3 .
Microbiology tests
All our gloves undergo stringent microbiology testing and are washed several times to keep residual proteins, chemicals and endotoxins to the lowest possible levels.
Air inflation test
100% of Biogel gloves are air inflation tested to check for holes 3 .
Step-by-step testing
We also test every element of the manufacturing process, including the environment, the raw materials and the packaging. High quality means fewer glove failures 4 ensuring you the protection and value you need.
