According to Uniglove, 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. The company said the gloves provide unmatched protection against bacteria within one minute, making them ideal for use in a wide range of healthcare environments, where infection control and cross-contamination prevention are critical.

Chris Wahlers, managing director of Unigloves UK, said, "Hands are often a primary source of infection. By delivering 99.99 per cent defence against bacteria in just 60 seconds, CrossGuard represents a significant advancement in infection control.

"This innovation sets a new standard for protection in care environments."

The CrossGuard antimicrobial gloves have many benefits, including enhanced patient safety, cross-contamination control and sustainability.

The antimicrobial technology is made from non-toxic, non-leaching materials that are environmentally friendly and do not require 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 offer comfort, flexibility, and durability, including touchscreen compatibility and a wide range of sizes to suit all users.

Chris 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."
