In a noteworthy advancement for the healthcare sector, Wadi Surgicals, based in Visakhapatnam, has announced the launch of accelerator-free nitrile gloves, marking a significant innovation in medical safety gear. This breakthrough aims to address a long-standing concern—skin allergies caused by chemical accelerators used in conventional nitrile gloves.

These newly introduced gloves are free from sulfur-based accelerants and other harsh additives commonly used during manufacturing. As a result, they are much gentler on the skin, especially for healthcare workers who wear gloves for extended periods.

Company representatives highlighted that the gloves are not only hypoallergenic but also more affordable and easily available in local and regional markets. The product is expected to benefit hospitals, clinics, diagnostic labs, and emergency responders, offering both comfort and safety without compromising durability.

"This development reflects our ongoing commitment to safety, innovation, and affordability for the healthcare community," said a spokesperson for Wadi Surgicals during the launch.

The gloves have already received positive feedback from local medical practitioners, with many applauding the effort to prioritize health worker well-being.

This move is anticipated to set new standards in medical consumables and could encourage similar innovations across the Indian healthcare manufacturing industry.
