For workers who have had a confirmed occupational health diagnosis of Type IV nitrile accelerator allergy, the Supreno SE eliminates the allergenic agents while maintaining certified chemical resistance.
Healthcare workers, laboratory personnel, and industrial technicians with confirmed Type IV accelerator contact dermatitis who are unable to wear standard nitrile exam gloves. Also used proactively in facilities implementing accelerator-free programs to address emerging evidence around accelerator sensitization. The EN 374 rating makes it suitable for lab chemical handling tasks simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need accelerator-free or just reduced-accelerator?
A confirmed Type IV contact dermatitis diagnosis from an occupational health physician or dermatologist is the indicator for zero-accelerator. If you have mild skin irritation from standard nitrile that resolves with reduced-accelerator gloves, reduced-accelerator (Ansell SU-690 Violet) is typically sufficient.
Can I use Supreno SE if I haven't had a confirmed diagnosis but want to be proactive?
Yes. Accelerator-free gloves are safe for any user regardless of diagnosis. The trade-off is higher per-pair cost. Facilities implementing proactive accelerator-free programs for all staff use them facility-wide.
What sizes are available?
XS, S, M, L, XL. Confirm sizing with the Ansell sizing guide.
How many gloves per box?
50 gloves (25 pairs). Ambidextrous.
Can the Supreno SE be used in pharmacy compounding?
Yes for hazardous drug handling where the EN 374 chemical protection panel covers the relevant drugs. Verify the EN 374 tested chemical list against your drug inventory. For formal USP 800 compliance, confirm with your pharmacy compliance officer.
Is the Supreno SE covered under any FDA regulation?
The Supreno SE is manufactured as a medical examination glove under FDA 21 CFR 880.6250. Accelerator-free formulation is the manufacturing choiceβFDA does not require accelerator-free gloves specifically.
Can I get a manufacturer letter documenting the accelerator-free formulation for my medical records?
Yes. Ansell provides technical documentation confirming the Supreno SE accelerator-free formulation for occupational health records. Available through Ansell's professional documentation portal.
Does accelerator-free mean the glove has different elasticity?
Yes. Accelerator-free vulcanization produces a slightly stiffer glove than traditional accelerator-vulcanized nitrile. The Supreno SE at ~7 mil compensates with its thicker gauge for durability. Most users adapt quickly to the fit difference.
What is the shelf life?
Three to five years in cool, dry storage.
Is the Supreno SE available through a laboratory supply distributor?
Yes. Contact Ansell or your lab distributor for availability and pricing. The WC Safety Amazon listing is an additional procurement channel.
Can I order a single box to test fit before committing to a case?
Yes. One box (50 gloves) is the minimum Amazon order. This is sufficient to evaluate fit and comfort before bulk procurement.
Is 'Supreno SE' the same product as 'Microflex SU-690'?
No. The SU-690 is a reduced-accelerator product (lower concentrations); the Supreno SE is a zero-accelerator product (no accelerators). Different formulations at different price points for different levels of sensitivity.
