Step into the future of biodegradable hand protection. Tough on tasks, gentle on the planet and designed for sensitive-skin, DermaCare revolutionary single-use nitrile exam gloves are saving the world without sacrificing performance while reducing carbon footprint by 5%.
A great alternative for individuals with latex sensitivities or allergies, single-use nitrile gloves provide an effective barrier against the cross-contamination of contaminants, pathogens, and chemicals. This barrier protection is crucial in medical, food handling, and laboratory settings where hygiene and safety are critical. However, one of the main drawbacks of conventional single-use nitrile gloves is their impact on the environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Worn and disposed in mass, single-use conventional gloves are not biodegradable and can take hundreds of years to break down in landfills. As a result, the use of single-use nitrile gloves contributes to plastic waste pollution, which is a growing concern worldwide. It also has prompted environmental experts to warn that U.S. landfills will reach capacity by the year 2036 and to seek sustainable alternatives wherever possible.
INTRODUCING DERMACARE BIODEGRADABLE NITRILE EXAM GLOVES
Discover the unparalleled combination of biodegradability and premium nitrile performance! Designed to biodegrade in landfill through microbial process, DermaCare single-use biodegradable nitrile exam gloves are a groundbreaking accelerator-free latex-free glove manufactured in Malaysia that meet the ASTM D5511 standard for biodegradability (36.7% in 513 days). This cutting-edge biodegradable nitrile glove is also safe to use with foods, fatal toxins , cytostatic drugs and conforms to all the same specifications and certifications as conventional nitrile medical examination gloves but are much gentler on the planet!
THE BIODEGRADATION PROCESS
The biodegradation process of DermaCare occurs in a two-step process. Initially, the glove’s surface undergoes erosion, breaking down the outermost layer. In the second step, proprietary additives attract microorganisms which secrete enzymes that chemically break down the remaining glove material. This process yields a nutrient-rich, water-insoluble food source that the microbial population can readily consume resulting in healthy compost.
MEDICAL DEVICE CLASS 1 & PPE CAT lll
Discover the unparalleled combination of biodegradability and premium nitrile performance with biodegradable DermaCare gloves. They are an ideal choice for high-risk situations where low-weight gloves are preferred, ensuring both the wearer and the patient are protected. DermaCare nitrile gloves are FDA 510K approved, conform and hold certifications as a Medical Device Class I and PPE CAT III, meeting stringent ASTM D6319 medical requirements and safety standards. DermaCare nitrile gloves are also suitable for food handling under US FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and have undergone extensive testing to ASTM D6978 standard against various chemicals, including fatal toxins (fentanyl) and cytostatic drugs (chemo) certified.
ACCELERATOR-FREE | OPTIMAL SKIN PROTECTION
Unfortunately, the glove designed to protect a wearer’s hands can inadvertently cause harm to the skin and lead to allergic contact dermatitis (a type IV allergy). This phenomenon occurs when a substance triggers an immune response in the wearer’s skin and appears as a red rash with bumps and sometimes blisters. If an individual wearing a nitrile glove develops dry, itchy or irritated skin, they may believe they have a nitrile allergy but in most cases this reaction is not to the nitrile but rather to the sulfur-based chemical accelerators commonly incorporated in the manufacturing of single-use latex-free gloves.
To ensure maximum comfort and skin health, DermaCare sustainable medical gloves utilize a patented premium, snug-fitting and highly elastic low-modulus formula that is entirely manufactured without the use of chemical accelerators that can cause Type IV Hypersensitivity with long-term use.
