MT WOUDENBERG, The Netherlands: Allergic reactions have become a major health concern for both patients and healthcare workers who frequently use latex gloves. In addition, every time a healthcare worker takes off his or her examination gloves, washes their hands and then puts on another pair of gloves, they become predominantly vulnerable to dry, rough, irritated and cracked skin. Medicom now says to have found a solution to both problems by introducing the SafeTouch Rejuvenate Nitrile Plus to all major markets.

The Rejuvenate Nitrile Plus gloves, which complements the company’s extensive medical glove offering, help to maintain healthier skin and are enriched with lanolin, vitamin E to nourish, moisturize, sooth the skin.

According to the Medicom, Rejuvenate Nitrile Plus gloves are soft and durable while offering excellent tear strength and puncture resistance. They are also fully textured to ensure enhanced grip in wet conditions. Improved ergonomics ‘latex like’ feel allows a more precise fit and increased freedom of movement reducing hand fatigue, they added.
