The last few years have
witnessed a rapid expansion of
the global medical glove market.
A major driver is the increasing
awareness by healthcare
workers of the need for the
protective barrier which gloves
offer.
According to the Worl d Health
Organisation (WHO), among
35 million heal thcare workers
worldwide, about three million
r eceive perc utaneous exposures to
bloodborne pathogens (Hepatitis B,
C and HIV) each year. As antibiotic
r esistance spreads, hospi tal -
ac quired infec tions are growing
alarmingly. And with cancer rates
increasing exponentially, mor e and
more hazardous c ytostatic drugs
are being handled.
The use of high-quality medical
gloves is essential to safeguarding
healthcare workers and patients
alike. Consequently, in spite of
constant budgetary challenges,
hospitals incr easingly use quality as
a prime purchase decision factor.
A commi tment to consis tent high
quality plus ongoing innovation that
continually defines sur gical glove
excellence. These have contributed
to Ansell Professional Healthcare’s
dominant role in worldwide mar kets
and its European leadership in surgi-
cal and examination gloves.
Ansell supplies an extensive and
growing portfolio of premier quality,
powdered, powder -free and synthet-
ic examination and sur gical gloves.
