Neobex has doubled down this week to share the final part on the examination glove industry properties!

Built for buyers and users to better understand the focus points!

Stay tuned for the final, and one of the most crucial pieces of our guide next week!

Key Takeaways:

-Because of the sterilization process, higher AQL standards, and stricter packaging standards, sterile gloves are more expensive than non-sterile gloves.

-Sterile gloves are required for surgical settings.

-Water-soluble proteins removed from natural latex gloves by sweat can induce allergies and are one of the most common causes of allergic reactions to disposable gloves.

-Latex allergies can be avoided by using gloves that are not made of natural latex.

-Powder-free gloves go through a thorough leaching and washing procedure to ensure that the amount of leachable protein is kept to a minimum.

-Properties related to the manufacturing: Thickness, elasticity, length and cuff, texture, and surface.

-A thicker gauge glove will provide more protection than a thinner glove of the same material, but often at the expense of touch sensitivity and dexterity.

-Glove strength is measured by resistance to tearing as well as by stretchability.

-The cuff length of a disposable glove is associated with the additional covered area of the wrist.

-When it comes to choosing the correct glove for the job, the texture is crucial.

Market news update July 26th, 2021:
The natural rubber crisis and its impacts
Key takeaways:
- There is a disruption in the supply chain because manufacturers are replenishing their inventory at the same time. Rubber is a natural resource that takes time to grow and cultivate so, when large quantities are ordered at the same time, this rarity in the offer of natural rubber increasing the price.
- Prices are escalating at a rapid rate and keep increasing month by month.
- The price of latex gloves will considerably increase in the next months. Substitute products such as Nitrile, Vinyl, and blend gloves will become more attractive for consumers who want a cheaper alternative.

The current natural rubber crisis impacts the industry's supply chain and prices and will impact many sectors as its a crucial raw material.

Neobex is here to help, by providing insight into the medical examination glove industry. Today we cover the 4 glove generations: latex, vinyl, nitrile, the blend, and their different characteristics.

Built for buyers and users to better understand the focus points!
Tune in every week for a new piece of information from our guide!

Key takeaways on the 4 glove generations:
Each glove type offers unique advantages but comes with a certain degree of compromise in terms of barrier protection, durability, sensitivity, comfort, and cost. No single glove provides the “perfect” solution for all applications, and it is nearly impossible for a healthcare facility to standardize on a single type of glove material to meet all their needs.

The 4 medical exam glove generations that are most common are clearly and simply explained here for buyers, users, and distributors to use

- Shipping container prices have gone up by 145% of their regular cost, jumping from $2000 to $9000 when shipped to Northern Europe.

- The American exporting economy is taking a heavy hit as containers are being shipped back from America to Asia empty since it is more profitable for transport agencies.

- Start pilling up on inventory and looking into on-the-ground PPE stock as the shipping delays and prices intensify and continue to increase.

Malaysia Covid-19 Shutdown Impacts

Key Takeaways and Actions to Take :
Malaysia’s EMCO has shutdown 1 China’s worth of glove production. - Prices are likely to remain high for the rest of 2021 and well into 2022. - As Malaysian manufacturers are shutting down and price of ocean freight is rising exponentially, it is probably a good idea to look into North American on the ground nitrile gloves.
