Unigloves, a leading specialist in hand protection, and KluraLabs™, innovators in antimicrobial solutions, has 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.

●      Sustainability: The antimicrobial technology is made from non-toxic, non-leaching materials that are environmentally friendly. These gloves require no special disposal measures.

“Using real science, we’ve developed CrossGuard to reduce the transmission of bacteria, making a real impact without compromising safety or fit,” said Blake Gudgel, CEO of KluraLabs.

The CrossGuard gloves also offer comfort, flexibility, and durability, including touchscreen compatibility and a wide range of sizes to suit all users.
