KimberlyClark GlovesGLOVE DISPENSING SYSTEM
Multiple openings reduce waste
     Kimberly-Clark, Roswell, Ga, offers SmartPULL, a new glove-dispensing system for its Sterling and Lavender Nitrile branded exam gloves. The system, designed to reduce waste from dropped gloves, features two separate openings on the box. The first, smaller opening is used when the box is full to reduce multiple dispensing, which often results in exam-glove waste when gloves become unusable after falling on the floor. When the box is half empty, the second, larger opening allows for easier access to the gloves. Sterling Nitrile exam gloves are FDA-cleared for use with the 12 commonly used chemotherapy drugs and also have an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) of 1.0, indicating the gloves are less likely to have critical defects than gloves with an AQL of 2.5.
