Lifewear Products Launches Scented Exam Gloves

Lifewear Products, a Minnesota-based supplier of disposable latex gloves, sterile procedure gloves, and more, announces the addition of scented exam gloves to their product offerings. New NitriDerm Fresh Orange and Great Grape gloves are color-matched to their light and enjoyable scents. These low modulus nitrile synthetic compound gloves feature good donning properties and mildly tacky exterior finish to provide excellent grip. They're designed for dentistry, but are great for other medical applications as well.

Anywhere the unpleasant, rubbery odor of standard exam gloves would impact patient comfort is a perfect place for Lifewear's Fresh Orange or Great Grape exam gloves. These fun, patient-friendly exam gloves are ideal for use with kids, in close quarters, for dental procedures, or in any situation where a more agreeable aroma would be appreciated. And, their non-latex materials will prevent any possible allergic reactions.

Lifewear Products' scented exam gloves are available by the case (10 boxes/case, 100 gloves/box), in small, medium and large sizes. The company offers free shipping on domestic orders over $99, and fast, convenient online payment options. Visit http://www.lifewearproducts.com/.

Both can spend their careers changing outcomes they may never see. Both educate people who don't always want to listen. Both are second-guessed. Both face burnout. And both must somehow keep remembering why they started.
