Metrics details

Unigloves, a leading specialist in hand protection, and KluraLabs, innovators in antimicrobial solutions, have partnered to launch the CrossGuard antimicrobial nitrile glove, the first of its kind to eliminate 99.99% of selected bacteria in just 60 seconds. This breakthrough is backed by third-party testing and is free from active ingredients.

The CrossGuard glove leverages KluraLabs' advanced antimicrobial technology, optimising the surface chemistry of standard nitrile gloves by adjusting material levels to create a safe and effective antimicrobial product. These gloves provide unmatched protection against bacteria within one minute, making them ideal for use in a wide range of healthcare environments, where infection control and cross contamination prevention are critical.

Key benefits of CrossGuard antimicrobial gloves:

Enhanced patient safety: Helps prevent the spread of infections, reducing risks for both patients and healthcare providers

Cross-contamination control: Reduces contamination risks

Sustainability: The antimicrobial technology is made from non-toxic, non-leaching materials that are environmentally friendly. These gloves require no special disposal measures.

The CrossGuard gloves also offer comfort, flexibility, and durability, including touchscreen compatibility and a wide range of sizes to suit all users.
