Disposable rubber gloves are used in a variety of situations including the healthcare, medical, dental, laboratory, food service, automotive, and industrial environments. In a hospital environment, rubber gloves are medical safety accessories that ensure sanitary hospital conditions by limiting patients' exposure to infectious matters. They also serve to protect health professionals from disease through contact with bodily fluids. Disposable gloves, made of various materials like latex, vinyl, or rubber are widely available. Dispensers are generally designed to fit one to three boxes and to be mounted on a wall. The gloves are packaged tightly in rectangular boxes with tear-away openings to access the gloves. They often stick together as they are used. The excess trailing gloves fall to the floor. These gloves are contaminated and unusable and need to be disposed of.
Potential problems include:
There is a need for a system that can prevent the unnecessary waste and potential infection caused by contaminated gloves.
The Glove Catcher
The Glove Catcher is a unique, one of a kind, original simple and economical way to prevent waste and disease by catching unused trailing gloves as they are removed from the box before they hit the floor. We all know that this happens. We reach in to grab a glove. The gloves are so tightly packed that several gloves fall on the floor. Some inexperienced employees might think it is ok to use these or reinsert them into the box. This is not OK. It can promote infection and ultimately cost a hospital much more due to possible contamination.
