Introducing The World’s Most Hygienic and Sustainable Glove Dispensing System

Safedon® is an interleaving glove packing technology that  optimises all available space inside a pack and presents gloves cuff first, ensuring 1 glove is dispensed at a time. Sold across many industries, SafeDon ® was initially pioneered to fight hospital acquired infections and food cross contamination.

Our new and innovative Cleanroom Glove System, utilises this SafeDon® proprietary glove packing technology, to present cleanroom gloves cuff first, ensuring only one glove is dispensed at a time. This stops personnel, operating in critical environments, from touching the glove’s most critical surfaces (thumb, fingers and palm) when dispensing and donning cleanroom gloves. The glove interleaving technology optimises all available space inside a pack, offering a smaller, more compact format and all its logistical advantages.

Studies prove this reduces the risk of cross contamination and bio-burden up to 95.9% on gloves dispensed from the SafeDon® Hygiene Dispensing System comparaed to traditional dispensing systems.

The gloves can be effortlessly dispensed directly from the cleanroom compliant packaging, cuff first, eliminating the necessity for transferring to a secondary dispenser. Welcome to a new era of convenience, cleanliness and efficiency in cleanroom hand protection.

Otect® N310 is the first of a range of non-sterile examination glove born from a dynamic collaboration between SafeDon and Otect . Latex free and powder free, the glove is manufactured in an ISO 13485 certified facility and is certified under PPE Regulation. Low ionic levels and low particle count, available in ISO Class 4, 5 and 6, Otect® N310 is an industry leading cleanroom glove.

This is the Cleaner and Greener Future of Cleanroom Gloves

Reducing Cross Contamination Risk

An ongoing challenge in critical environments, it is widely agreed, the most significant source of contamination in cleanrooms is its people. Despite the use of gloves, accidental contamination via the hands of personnel remains a risk for many industries where the highest levels of cleanliness are necessary.

Humans account for 70% of cleanroom contamination. Naturally respiring, aging and working, we end up carrying and shedding contaminants.

Studies have shown that traditional glove dispensers, bags, boxes and gloves frequently become contaminated due to the constant unavoidable touch of multiple users. By ensuring only the cuff of the glove is handled, Otect® Otect® Cuff-first dispensing system can significantly reduce the risk of cross contamination in your cleanroom.

Downward Glove Pulling

An added protection against air born particles

A weakness in current designs is that contamination and air born particles can fall onto or into existing dispensers and therefore contaminate the gloves further. Gravity naturally pulls particles downwards. Air is sucked downwards and the air around us flows over and around objects.

The only surface of an object that doesn’t get impacted by particles moving within the airflow is under that object.

Otect® Cuff-first dispensing system has been designed to pull downwards, thus avoiding airborne contamination.

There is a natural void that is creating under a dispensing tray that contaminants cannot  access as the airflow draw them away and around the object.

Avoiding Glove Wastage

Studies have shown that with traditional glove dispensers an average 10% of gloves fall from the pack while dispensing, due to overflow spillage and are therefore thrown away. Traditional glove packs are not packed efficiently. Gloves can be poorly layered and when pulling one glove, it can unavoidably bring several gloves along with it. These must then be discarded or pushed back inside the pack risking further contamination.

Cuff first dispensing stops gloves from sticking together. Interleaving guarantees only one glove is dispensed at a time, every time and also provides easier and quicker donning.

Space Saving and Cutting Logistics Costs

Beyond safeguarding against contamination, our revolutionary patented packaging technology allows us to significantly shrink the profile of a pack and consequently the outer case packaging too. This isn’t just about efficiency- it’s a game-changer. Picture cost savings and a greener footprint as we optimise storage and transportation, all while cutting down on excess packaging. This is the smarter, cleaner approach.

When comparing N310 with leading market alternatives we can demonstrate a significant space saving that will in turn positively impact overall storage and transport in terms of pallet yield, truck and container load. This offers cost savings and a positive impact on packaging reduction.

Less transport and storage results in considerable savings and offer  yield efficiencies averaging 40 to 55% across all mode of Transports and throughout the supply chain.

Beyond transport and storage capacity, Otect Dispensing System will increase storage capacity at all level of the supply chain, all the way to Cleanroom storerooms. Making better use of valuable space in and around the cleanroom facilities, reducing the frequency of order refills and deliveries, as well as purchase admin time.

The Solution to Packaging Reduction

At source, less packaging is used than for equivalent standard glove packs, saving valuable resources and reducing packaging consumption and saving costs. Packaging recycling also presents inherent cost and requires transportation for its disposal. A reduce use of packaging will positively reduce these costs, transport miles to recycling centres and carbon emission during recycling. Packaging and waste management benefits are present throughout the supply chain.

Lowering your carbon footprint

Otect Dispensing system offers quantifiable environmental benefits over traditional cleanroom gloves.

  • At source, less packaging is used than for equivalent standard cleanroom gloves, saving valuable resources and reducing packaging carbon footprint.
  • Otect Dispensing system ensures 100% utility of the product and eliminates glove wastage, which in turn saves resources and inherent disposal costs.
  • Otect Dispensing system allows more gloves to be transported and stored per cubic metre. This reduces CO2 miles per glove during haulage.
  • Otect Dispensing system will positively reduce carbon footprint throughout the value chain from glove manufacture to transport through to end of life product and packaging disposal.
