Glove management

Our Glove Management Program – the only program of this magnitude in the healthcare industry – is an integrated network of clinical resources, educational and technical programs and innovative products to help you balance your needs and your costs. Our Glove Management team has helped hundreds of hospitals standardize glove utilization and manage glove-related issues with this flexible system based on proven methods and practices.

How It Works

Hand Covering Needs Our team begins the process by analyzing your current glove usage patterns and quantifying your needs.
Recommendations Next, we design a plan specifically for your clinical and nonclinical needs. At this stage, we help you standardize glove usage by defining the right gloves by procedure and job function.
Inplementing The team helps you roll out and manage your standardized glove program to ensure effective implementation and integration.
Education We conduct seminars to instruct your staff on appropriate gloving protocols and proper hand care techniques. We supplement these seminars with a thorough continuing education video series.
Measuring We complete the implementation process with a review to quantify and document the cost savings of your glove utilization program.
Resources We continue to provide clinical support on glove management issues through regular technical and clinical publications, seminars, ongoing communication and our web site.
