Durability of Double-gloving With Biogel® Surgical Gloves When Used by Clinicians/Surgeons

A prospective open-label study design was chosen because it will provide the most accurate data on the efficacy of four commercially available similar brands of NRL (natural rubber latex) and synthetic latex surgical gloves when they are used for surgeries in a clinical setting. The primary endpoint will be the overall failure rate of the Biogel® sterile surgical undergloves (device) compared to three undergloves brands of surgical gloves. The secondary endpoints are perforation rates of the underglove, the failure rate of the overglove, the frequency of overglove perforation detection by the glove wearer when double-gloving, the ratio of perforations detected of overglove compared to underglove and to determine the frequency of overglove perforation detection by the glove wearer. The clinical investigation will be statistically powered to test the hypothesis that the failure rate of the Biogel® Sterile Surgical undergloves is different from that of the three comparators.
