As an EMS professional, keeping you and your patients safe and protected from contamination is a fundamental aspect of the job. The use of disposable medical gloves is something that we take for granted, but it’s interesting to note that the first disposable latex medical gloves were manufactured less than 50 years ago in 1964. A surgeon at Johns Hopkins University was the first to use sterilized medical gloves in 1890 and the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is noted as the first company to make a glove of rubber that could be dipped in carbolic acid for sterilization.
We’ve come a long way since then, and today there are a variety of latex and non-latex EMS gloves on the market to meet specific needs for unique procedures and medical applications. At Penn Care, we carry MicroFlex gloves, the leader in the medical examination glove marketplace. We offer a broad range of products and aim to deliver the highest quality, comfort and reliability, box after box, case after case. MicroFlex is the most trusted name in gloves and we’re proud to provide their products to our clients.
