Product Description
The Hourglass HandPRO® FreeStyle1100™ 1102 is a Medium accelerator-free nitrile powder-free examination glove — made from the patented LOW DERMA™ accelerator-free nitrile, this powder-free glove has fewer chemicals and virtually eliminates the risk of Type I latex and Type IV chemical allergic reactions and contact dermatitis. The unique nitrile compound sheds water better for a more secure grip — even in wet environments. Fentanyl Citrate Tested — No breakthrough after 240 minutes. 510(k) Granted by U.S. FDA. Textured Fingertips — Enhanced tactile sensitivity. Tested safe for use with chemotherapy drugs. Powder free. Accelerator-free sensitive nitrile. Microtextured fingertips. Latex free. Anti-slip super grip compound. Deep indigo color. 9.5" length (240mm). 100 gloves per box. 10 boxes per case. 1000 gloves per case.
LOW DERMA™ Technology — The Defining Innovation of the FreeStyle1100 The FreeStyle1100's most important differentiator is its patented LOW DERMA™ accelerator-free nitrile formula — manufactured without accelerators, and without dithiocarbamates, thiurams, or mercaptobenzothiazoles. These three chemical classes — dithiocarbamates, thiurams, and MBTs — are the primary causes of Type IV chemical allergic contact dermatitis from nitrile gloves. Standard nitrile gloves use these accelerator chemicals during the vulcanization (curing) process — and residual accelerators in the finished glove are the most common cause of the hand dermatitis, rashes, and contact reactions that afflict healthcare workers, laboratory personnel, dental professionals, and other frequent glove users. By eliminating accelerators entirely from the nitrile formulation, the FreeStyle1100 removes the root cause of these reactions — making it the preferred glove for anyone who has experienced reactions to standard nitrile gloves or who works in environments requiring extended daily glove wear.
Accelerator-Free — Not the Same as Standard Nitrile The distinction between accelerator-free and standard nitrile gloves is the single most important purchasing decision for anyone suffering from glove-related hand dermatitis. Standard nitrile gloves — including most chemo-rated and high-performance nitrile exam gloves — contain chemical accelerators used in manufacturing. The FreeStyle1100 is manufactured using Hourglass International's patented LOW DERMA™ process that achieves the same mechanical strength and barrier properties without any accelerator chemicals — producing a glove that protects sensitive hands that react to standard nitrile while providing equivalent or superior protection for clinical and laboratory applications.
Fentanyl Citrate Tested — No Breakthrough After 240 Minutes Fentanyl Citrate Tested — No breakthrough after 240 minutes. 510(k) Granted by U.S. FDA. The FreeStyle1100 has been specifically tested for fentanyl citrate permeation resistance — confirming no breakthrough after 240 minutes of continuous contact. This fentanyl resistance, combined with the 510(k) FDA clearance, makes the FreeStyle1100 one of the very few accelerator-free nitrile gloves that also provides documented protection against synthetic opioid exposure — a critical dual certification for healthcare workers, emergency responders, and laboratory personnel who handle fentanyl and other synthetic opioids while also requiring accelerator-free gloves for dermatitis prevention.
Chemotherapy Drug Tested — Barrier Protection for Hazardous Drug Handling Tested safe for use with chemotherapy drugs. The FreeStyle1100 meets ASTM F6978 chemotherapy drug permeation testing requirements — qualifying it for use in oncology nursing, pharmacy compounding, and any clinical or laboratory environment where gloves must provide documented barrier protection against chemotherapy agents. The combination of accelerator-free formulation and chemotherapy drug testing makes the FreeStyle1100 uniquely qualified for oncology professionals who experience glove dermatitis — providing both chemo protection and dermatitis prevention in a single glove.
Anti-Slip Super Grip Compound — Secure Grip Wet or Dry The unique nitrile compound sheds water better for a more secure grip — even in wet environments. The anti-slip super grip compound of the FreeStyle1100 is engineered specifically for wet environment performance — shedding water from the glove surface rather than allowing it to pool, maintaining tactile grip on instruments, tubes, and equipment during wet procedures, specimen handling, and any wet-work environment where standard gloves lose grip effectiveness.
Microtextured Fingertips — Enhanced Tactile Sensitivity Textured Fingertips — Enhanced tactile sensitivity. The microtextured fingertip surface of the FreeStyle1100 provides enhanced grip on fine instruments, suture needles, dental tools, and other precision implements — while maintaining the natural tactile sensitivity required for clinical examination, dental procedures, pipetting, and any delicate manipulation task. The microtexture is specifically designed to enhance grip without the bulk that reduces tactile feedback in heavily-textured gloves.
Medium Size — Full Protection for Comfortable Extended Wear The Medium size of the FreeStyle1100 (catalog # 1102) provides the properly fitted format for Medium-handed clinicians, dental professionals, laboratory researchers, and technicians who require all-day comfort and full dexterity in extended-wear environments. A properly fitted glove is essential for maximizing the tactile sensitivity and anti-slip grip performance of the FreeStyle1100's advanced nitrile compound — a glove that is too small restricts movement and causes fatigue, while a glove that is too large creates excess material at the fingertips that defeats the purpose of the microtextured grip surface.
