ASAP UK introduces Pro X-Tended gloves for pharmaceutical safety

ASAP UK has announced the availability of its Pro X-Tended latex gloves, measuring 400mm (almost 16 inches) long to protect wearers further up the arm. The gloves are designed to be used in challenging environments such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, where there is greater risk of contact with dangerous chemicals.

All gloves in the Pro X-Tended range are powder-free and designed for comfort and durability. The gloves meet the EN455 standard for single use, which includes tests for penetration resistance.

Madan Natarajan, General Manager at ASAP UK, said: “Our extended length gloves are very popular in many environments, but especially where there is a danger of harmful chemical splashing as they protect much further up the arm. We believe pharmaceutical manufacturers in particular will find them ideally suited to the challenging environments in which they operate.”

All ASAP’s gloves are manufactured, inspected and packaged with no direct skin contact; they go straight from machine to box, the company says, which is vital in an industry where hygiene control is critical. The company also manufactures medical grade (Type IIR) face masks, which include a layer to protect against splashes.

The company recently announced its range of cleanroom gloves is now available in the UK; the products were formally launched at the Cleanroom Technology Conference at the National Conference Centre in Birmingham on September 14-15.

ASAP products can be ordered directly from the company’s UK-based distribution partners, and most products are available immediately ex-stock, it says.

Natarajan added; “We are continually bringing new products to the UK market, and these extended length gloves are a great example of this.”
