Sempermed introduces the new StarMed ® ROSE nitrile examination glove. StarMed® ROSE is the most recent addition to the StarMed ® family (following the StarMed® PLUS™ launch in March 2015). StarMed® ROSE nitrile gloves provide the protection and comfort expected to be found in a Sempermed glove; however the cheery rose color is new to Sempermed’s product offering, and furthermore StarMed® ROSE is also manufactured with the added benefit of aloe and vitamin E. This enriched inner coating leaves your hands feeling silky smooth, helping to eliminate chapped and irritated skin.
StarMed® ROSE nitrile examination gloves are produced using the Smart Dispense Technology, Single Glove Delivery® system. This packing method is proven to reduce wrinkles and eliminate unnecessary waste, guaranteeing each box is packed to perfection and dispenses one rose glove at a time.
Sempermed is donating a portion from every case sold of StarMed® ROSE to the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) through March 2016. PCF is the world’s leading philanthropic organization, and has provided funding to more than 2,000 research programs at nearly 200 cancer centers and universities.
StarMed® ROSE is available in sizes extra-small through extra-large, and contains 200 gloves per box (180 XL). The product reorder numbers are SMNR201 (size x-small), SMNR202 (size small), SMNR203 (size medium), SMNR204 (size large), and SMNR205 (size x-large).
