Berner Sterile Neoprene Gloves transition to sealed double bagged sterile packaging

Our new double bagged poly-packaging supports multi-stage transfer of multiple gloves into cleanroom environments, reducing time, energy and cost. As of April 2019, our UK exclusive Berner Cytotoxic Neoprene Gloves will be supplied in new sterile poly-packaging as we move away from the use of cardboard dispensers. The removal of cardboard further reduces the risk of lint contamination from entering the cleanroom environment. Although this change is effective from April, we will continue to supply the current packaging whilst stocks last, after which all supply of the Berner Neoprene Gloves will be in the new poly-packaged format. How will the new packaging affect me? Future double bagged glove orders will be supplied 10 x 10 pairs per carton. This consists of 10 x individual sealed sterile glove pouches packed in a sterile outer bag and 10 x sterile sealed outer bags packed in an unsealed poly-liner. Each sterile pouch contains 1 x pair of gloves. All sealed bags will be contained with a poly-liner, supporting the manual removal of gloves from the carton and preventing cardboard particles from adhering to the outer bags. Our new double bagged sterile packaging also supports multi-stage cleanroom transfer by helping to reduce transfer disinfection time and labour. Each layer of the new glove packaging is fully labelled for easy identification of contents and key technical information such as gamma sterilised indicators. Our unit of sale, which is currently 25 pairs per pack, will increase to 100 pairs per pack. Although there is a unit of sale increase, the price per individual pair will remain unchanged. Similarly, the 5 year sterile shelf life will not be affected.
