Ansell Healthcare

Ansell Cares is a global multifaceted education program guided and supported by leading scientists, physicians, educators and researchers from around the world. Our charter is to create education and awareness campaigns among healthcare professionals, industry experts and consumers, to help identify and prevent healthcare-associated infections, and preventable errors and injuries in the perioperative setting. We seek to provide a safer working and living environment while promoting good health and well-being. This objective is fulfilled through support of research focused on infection prevention and elimination of healthcare safety issues, development of educational resources, and offering consultation on personal protection issues for healthcare professionals.

Ansell Cares provides a number of relevant and accessible education programs targeting distribution and professional customers to support best practices, evidence-based knowledge, our products, new technologies, and regulated standards. Our educational programs are developed by our specialized clinical consultants in collaboration with experts and are balanced, scientifically sound, based on evidence, and meet national and institutional standards. These accredited educational programs, videos, newsletters, Ansell.com, and technical bulletins keep healthcare providers informed of the latest developments. Clinical research provides new knowledge to assist healthcare providers in finding the most effective method of care and helping take the guess work out of designing new medical devices.

Insights provided by medical research and other resources can help answer specific medical questions and promise to lessen the impact of our greatest healthcare problems. Through the years, Ansell has conducted research into the cause, prevention and treatment of latex allergy with some of the world’s leading authorities on the issue, delivering numerous academic papers, publications and presentations to educate healthcare providers.

The majority of our research projects are translational in nature, which allows us to take the medical discoveries that have been made in a laboratory setting and translate them into medical practices that can be used by healthcare providers to improve the lives of their patients.

Ansell understands that research is vital to making significant headway in advancing medical knowledge. As such, we continue to sponsor new avenues of research aimed at promoting safety for healthcare professionals and improving patient outcomes.

We publish a library of research documents and other resources.
