NEW YORK - eTradeWire -- As medical clinics and hospitals worldwide grapple with a shortage of medical-grade nitrile exam gloves during the COVID-19 pandemic, one medical supply company is stepping up to offer a solution.

Alertcare is a leading producer and marketer of home healthcare products. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S.-based global medical supply distributor has been a leader in manufacturing high quality personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes medical nitrile gloves, which have been in high demand as the fight against the pandemic wages on.

As supplies of nitrile exam gloves dwindle at hospitals across the country, Alertcare worked to source a new supply of gloves from a reliable manufacturer certified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration with 510(k) clearance.

Alertcare's medical-grade "Powder-Free Nitrile Exam Gloves" can be used in both commercial and home settings to protect hands from contaminants while working in an operating room or in food processing, household cleaning, industrial manufacturing, and more. The single-use, blue gloves are made from 100 percent latex and BPA-free nitrile. The gloves are puncture resistant and ambidextrous, with a finger thickness of 4 mil.
