At Mölnlycke everything we do is about supporting the performance of our customers. This means supplying them with the most reliable – and most precise – equipment possible. This commitment begins with the design and engineering of Biogel® gloves, and flows right through to the operating theatre.
How Biogel is made
Biogel gloves are made to such a high standard, we have a whole facility dedicated to quality control. You could say we’re obsessive: every single pair of Biogel gloves undergoes rigorous quality checks including air-inflation testing, perforation assessments and multiple visual inspections along the development stages 1 2 .
How Biogel feels
There’s a reason surgical teams around the world value Biogel® gloves. Like any other glove they are designed to protect patients – and clinicians too. But the Biogel brand is built around a reputation for a comfortable fit and precise feeling, supporting precision at every touch 3 4 5 6 .
How Biogel performs
For surgeons, who rely on their skilled hands and sense of touch, Biogel gloves are more than a protective barrier – they also support precise performance 3 4 5 6 . The same is true for the wider operating theatre team, who can rely on Biogel’s best-in-class perforation detection 7 8 .
