Texas Medical Technology Launches Its Smart iNitrile Device for Putting on Sterile Gloves Easily, Safely, and Automatically March 17, 2021 GMT HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 17, 2021-- Texas Medical Technology, a leading medtech company, launches its iNitrile disposable glove dispenser to combat infections in businesses and organizations. The machine utilizes an automated process to help organizations streamline tedious daily tasks, minimize waste, and improve cost-efficiency. ADVERTISEMENT Infections can often come from places people seldom consider, and with COVID-19, simply washing your hands or wearing a mask isn’t enough. Many infections today, for instance, are transmitted as a result of wearing disposable gloves incorrectly, or leaving the glove box open so that germs are transmitted through them. Following the 2016 regulation prohibiting the use of disinfecting powder in gloves, their sterility became compromised and their efficacy waned. Additionally, close to half of the dispensable gloves used worldwide are discarded even before use, as a result of wearers tearing a glove while putting it on or accidentally taking out several at a time. With a viral pandemic in our midst, the need for a smarter and safer approach is more urgent than ever.
