"It got so bad that I couldn't even move my hands"

Dr. Radu's experience highlights a crucial aspect of healthcare that often goes unnoticed: the safety of our healthcare professionals. While gloves are indispensable for infection control, they can also pose risks. Chemical accelerators are needed for glove manufacturing to transform the raw material into strong and elastic glove films. However, some of these commonly used chemical accelerators are known to cause allergic contact dermatitis (a Type IV chemical allergy).

"[My hands] were so swollen and itchy I had to take two months off work for my hands to heal"

Occupational skin diseases can significantly impact the productivity of hospitals. When healthcare staff take sick leaves due to allergic reactions or skin conditions caused by gloves, it disrupts the workflow and can lead to staffing shortages. By providing safer gloves, we can help to reduce these incidents, at the same time ensuring that medical personnel can perform their duties without interruption and with peace of mind"

Our commitment goes beyond manufacturing. We actively engage with healthcare institutions to raise awareness about occupational hazards and the importance of choosing the right PPE. By staying informed and advocating for better standards, we can create a healthier workplace for all medical professionals.
