SW® Sustainability Solutions Skin Health Alliance Disposable Nitrile Gloves

What Does Skin Health Alliance (SHA) Accredited Mean?

Versatile and affordable, single-use gloves are commonly worn by professionals in healthcare, food processing, laboratory and dental medicine for its protective barrier properties. Single-use gloves are not only essential to protecting the hands from contamination or infection, but they can help keep environments cleaner as they minimize the spread or cross-contamination of germs and bacteria. Unfortunately the glove designed to protect a wearer’s hands can inadvertently cause harm to the skin, especially if the wearer has delicate skin.

Disposable medical gloves are impermeable to liquids and consequently hot to wear. Because impervious type gloves do not allow the skin to breath, this causes the hands to perspire heavily. For some PPE wearers, sweat can cause dry and irritated skin over time which could lead to a medical condition such as dermatitis/eczema. If skin conditions worsen, it can have devastating effect to one’s health and career.

Single-Use Nitrile Gloves Verifiably Safe for Sensitive Skin

If you have fragile or sensitive skin, the gloves you wear matter. If you are shopping for skin-friendly nitrile gloves then you should take note that SW® Sustainability Solutions provides professional glove wearers with latex-free nitrile glove products that are dermatological accredited by the Skin Health Alliance (SHA) and are incinerator-friendly.
