SHIELDskin™ gloves

“A Revolution in Glove Technology “

With the introduction of the all new SHIELDskin™ gloves, SHIELD Scientific welcomes you to a new level of Compliance, Comfort and Protection. SHIELDskin™ nitrile and latex gloves have been specifically designed for laboratory use to protect your assays against contamination and to protect you against biological and chemical hazards.

PRODUCT CATEGORY

SHIELDskin™ gloves are classified as Complex Design (category III) as defined in the PPE Directive 89/686/EEC. Only category III gloves are likely to provide the necessary personal protection needed in a laboratory

GLOVE USAGE

SHIELDskin™ nitrile and latex gloves have been specifically designed for laboratory use to protect your assays against contamination and to protect you against biological and chemical hazards.

CHEMICAL PROTECTION

A minimum length of 260mm/10.3". SHIELDskin™ gloves are the first gloves to meet the minimum length requirement for liquid proof protection as specified in EN374-1 :2003. By offering 10% extra length to other standard length laboratory gloves (240 mm), they provide optimal protection against biohazards and chemical splashes

BIOHAZARD PROTECTION

SHIELDskin™ gloves have an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) of 0.65, representing a performance level of 3 according to EN374-2 :2003. This level of protection in standard laboratory gloves has never previously been available and will provide additional confidence in meeting biosecurity procedures.

ALLERGY

Chemical accelerators such as thiazole and thiurams are excluded from the manufacturing process limiting the risk of Allergic Contact Dermatitis (Type IV). Furthermore, there are non-detectable levels of chemical accelerators using aqueous solution extraction (Phosphate buffered solution) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) assay method for quantitative analysis.

The SHIELDskin™ ORANGE NITRILE™ gloves are 100% latex-free providing a solution for those seeking to eliminate or minimize the risk of Natural Rubber Latex Allergy (Type I).
The SHIELDskin Bright Latex contains less than 50µg/g of total water extractables protein in order to reduce the risk of natural rubber latex allergy (TypeI).
