SAFESKIN* sterile gloves are manufactured to surgical glove standards that meet an AQL level of 1.5 for pinholes. Fewer pinholes equate to better performing gloves. Sterile face masks are manufactured from materials chosen for their stability before, during and after irradiation resulting in high post-sterilization, bacterial filtration efficiency levels. Pre-sterilization bioburden levels on gloves are controlled and monitored resulting in low post-sterilization endotoxin levels on the products.
