Top-of-the-range surgical gloves for all types of orthopaedic surgery


Safety and protection

  • Encore® Orthopaedic has been tested and passed the viral penetration according to ASTM F1671.
  • Ansell’s SureFit™ technology prevents the cuff from rolling down, providing healthcare professionals with superior barrier protection.
  • The polyurethane inner coating is resistant to alcohol-based hand disinfectants and adds another layer of safety between the skin and the latex.
  • The extra thickness of the Encore® Orthopaedic makes this glove 40% more resistant than standard powder-free surgical gloves.


  • Low allergenicity

  • Very low protein content (30 μg/g or less of water/extractable protein per gram).
  • Specific latex formulation with reduced use of chemical accelerators(1) (thiuram- and MBT-free) for minimising the risk of skin irritation.
