Original Press Release:
Sempermed Offers Polymed®, a Fusion of Latex and Synthetic Glove Technology
Clearwater FL, July 2007: Building on its reputation for Quality and Consistency First.(TM), Sempermed, one of the world's leading suppliers of latex examination gloves, is pleased to offer its exciting Polymed® exam glove.
Polymed differs from other copolymer exam gloves because of its unique "fusion" bonding of latex and synthetic polymers. This creates a multi-layer glove that combines the elasticity of latex and the strength of copolymers, which protects against cracking and/or peeling in normal usage.
Polymed® contains 50 micrograms or less of total water extractable proteins per gram, which significantly reduces the potential for allergic reactions. This glove also offers powder-free protection that eliminates the aerosolization of glove powder as well as the powder transfer of latex proteins.
The unique multi-layer coating of Polymed provides added comfort against the skin and ease of donning for both wet and dry hands. And the micro-rough surface on the fingers and palm offers excellent sensing and a safe grip. Additionally, the beaded cuff increases the strength and protection of this premium exam glove.
The Polymed exam glove offers optimum safety, having a particularly low 1.5 AQL value. Its neutral pH balance also provides additional skin-friendliness.
