WHAT’S NEW? UNMATCHED PROTECTION
AGAINST BACTERIA Unigloves, a specialist in hand protection, and KluraLabs, innovators in antimicrobial solutions, have partnered to launch the CrossGuard antimicrobial nitrile glove, the first of its kind to eliminate 99.99% of selected bacteria in just 60 seconds. This breakthrough is backed by third-party testing and is free from active ingredients.
Revolutionary Antimicrobial Protection
The CrossGuard glove leverages KluraLabs’ advanced antimicrobial technology, optimising the surface chemistry of standard nitrile gloves by adjusting material levels to create a safe and effective antimicrobial product. These gloves provide unmatched protection against bacteria within one minute, making them ideal for use in healthcare, laboratory, and food processing environments, where infection control and cross- contamination prevention are critical.
"Hands are oſten a primary source of infection. By delivering 99.99% defence against bacteria in just 60 seconds, CrossGuard represents a significant advancement in infection control," said Chris Wahlers, Managing Director of Unigloves UK. "This innovation sets a new standard for protection in hospital, care, and food handling environments."
Key Benefits of CrossGuard Antimicrobial Gloves:
● Enhanced Patient Safety – helps prevent the spread of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), reducing risks for both patients and healthcare providers.
● Cross-Contamination Control – reduces contamination risks in food manufacturing, processing and handling sectors.
● Sustainability – the antimicrobial technology is made from non-toxic, non-leaching materials that are environmentally friendly. These gloves require no special disposal measures.
Blake Gudgel, CEO of KluraLabs, said: "Healthcare-associated infections are a serious challenge. Using real science, we’ve developed CrossGuard to reduce the transmission of bacteria and viruses, making a real impact in infection control without compromising safety or fit."
The CrossGuard gloves also offer comfort, flexibility, and durability, including touchscreen compatibility and a wide range of sizes to suit all users.
Chris Wahlers added: "CrossGuard reflects our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and customer-focused solutions. We’re proud to offer a product that not only delivers top-tier performance but also minimises environmental impact."
