Regent Medical is the world's leading manufacturer of high quality, technically advanced gloves for the healthcare professions. Best known for the Biogel range of gloves, the company is part of SSL International - a healthcare business that is recognised worldwide. Regent provides high quality protection for surgical teams across a wide range of specialities. Biogel powder-free surgical gloves provide easy donning, user comfort, and excellent barrier protection for most users. SSL has made a major capital investment in Regent's production facilities in Malaysia, leading to a capacity for increased output and stringent quality control. All facilities in Malaysia conform to ISO9001 / EN46001 specifications, and these are currently being further enhanced to an ISO14001 environmental management system.

Regent Medical is research-based. Innovations have included Dispo, the world's first disposable surgical glove, Biogel, the world's first powder-free glove with a unique polymer coating for easy donning, and Biogel Neotech, the world's first powder-free, non-latex glove. The research continues and by spending significantly on R&D, we aim to maintain our product superiority well into the future.

Regent Medical produces only the highest quality gloves as superior barrier protection against viral and bacterial agents is of paramount importance in today's healthcare environment. Similarly, as starch powder is now a recognised hazard, it is out policy to offer only powder-free gloves. In line with our commitment to excellence, all Regent Medical gloves undergo special processes to greatly reduce allergen levels.

The company works closely with healthcare professionals throughout the world to improve knowledge and understanding of the risk factors associated with glove usage and the importance of using correct glove selection. This also helps us learn first hand how we can improve our products and better meet future needs. As an ethical company we hold regular seminars and symposia on glove issues, provide a free, comprehensive package of educational slide presentations, videos, booklets and wall-charts, fund many glove-related clinical studies around the world, and sponsor research through award schemes and study scholarships.

Regent's product portfolio consists of Biogel Surgeons gloves, which have a natural elasticity that offers little resistance to finger movement. Biogel gloves are suitable for most general surgical procedures.

Biogel M gloves offer all benefits of standard Biogel surgical gloves plus the added advantage of an innovative non-slip surface. The special surface provides extra grip and control, which is important for delicate microsurgical procedures.

Biogel Super-Sensitive gloves are especially designed for those situations where glove comfort and sensitivity are of particular importance. They are approximately 20% thinner than standard Biogel surgical gloves yet have equal strength.

The puncture indication system Biogel Indicator™ gloves are a double gloving system that in the presence of fluid visibly indicates when a puncture occurs. Indicated for procedures in which glove puncture is likely or dangerous, Biogel Indicator™ gloves reduce the risk of blood- skin contact. The Biogel Indicator™ under glove can be bought separately and may be used with any glove from the Biogel range.

Skinsense™ N Surgical gloves are manufactured from a special synthetic elastomer and are completely free from Natural Rubber Latex. Skinsense™ N offers evidence of even better fit, feel and comfort, and ensures no reaction to latex proteins in the healthcare professional or the patient resulting from using or being exposed to the gloves.

Skinsense™ N Universal gloves contain no extractable Natural Rubber Latex protein and are low in allergens and are pyrogen-free. It offers the proven benefits of double gloving in situations where there is a known or suspected allergy to NRL proteins in a healthcare professional or patient.

The non-sterile surgical glove Biogel Diagnostic® gloves provide all the protection you would expect from standard Biogel, but are designed for non-sterile procedures when high levels of protection as well as dexterity are required.
