FoodHandler Inc., a leading developer and supplier of high-quality hygiene and food safety solutions, announces the launch of MedHandler® oneSAFE Exam-Grade Gloves and a new website featuring the complete oneSAFE Single-Glove Dispensing System line.
The new MedHandler oneSAFE Exam-Grade Gloves in powder-free vinyl and blue nitrile are available in single and triple wall-mounted dispensers. The oneSAFE system is a proprietary dispensing system for foodservice, and now for healthcare, that enables users to pull out a single glove by the cuff and don it without touching the glove’s handling surface. This simple difference reduces the risk of cross contamination by 96 percent. The dispenser also harbors 93 percent less bacteria than traditional dispensers.*
“The MedHandler oneSAFE Exam-Grade Glove Dispensing System is bringing FoodHandler’s tried and true single-glove dispensing system to healthcare professionals who are challenged with safety and use limitations of traditional glove boxes,” says FoodHandler senior category manager Brian Sangston. “It is one of the most innovative, safe and efficient disposable glove systems on the market today.”
Since improper hand hygiene causes 89 percent of foodborne illnesses and leads to healthcare-associated infections in 5 to10 percent of patients, a dispensing system like oneSAFE helps the foodservice and healthcare industries protect its customers and employees while improving operational efficiencies. The oneSAFE system decreases waste versus traditional dispensers that do not control the number of gloves pulled. Gloves are also 50 percent faster to put on than gloves in traditional dispensers.
FoodHandler’s newest oneSAFE system innovations are featured on the new oneSAFEsystem.com website.
“The new oneSAFEsystem.com is a centralized resource designed to educate visitors on all things oneSAFE,” says Bunzl North America assistant marketing manager Jeremy Mishork. “With unique landing pages for healthcare and foodservice, users can view industry-specific content, such as whitepapers, videos, infographics and more. We encourage healthcare and foodservice professionals to visit our site and learn more about the oneSAFE system available exclusively from FoodHandler.”
