(May 22, 2008) – Kimberly-Clark Professional has added to its popular line of Kimtech Science Sterling Nitrile Exam Gloves with a new 12-inch glove that provides added splash protection at the cuff. These new latex-free gloves provide the protection of nitrile with the sensitivity of latex. Eliminating employee exposure to latex helps to reduce employee lost-time and employer health costs due to allergic reactions. The ambidextrous gloves are 3.5 mils thick and are available in extra-small through extra-large sizes. Their textured fingertips offer excellent tactile sensitivity for easy handling of delicate instruments. They are also static dissipative in use. With 100 percent more gloves in each box than with traditional 12-inch gloves, purchasing Kimtech Science Sterling Nitrile-XTRA Exam Gloves helps labs and other workplaces increase storage space and reduce waste. The additional gloves in each box can also help labs stockpile the gloves for emergency use. For information on how much space and waste users can save, visit www.kimtech.com/GreenProject. Kimtech Science Sterling Nitrile Exam Gloves are also available in a 9.5-inch length.
