R.ADVANCE: the safest glove

An individual inspection to 100% of the gloves produced

We have developed a fully automated production line, which allows for quality control, in different steps, of 100% of the gloves produced. By carefully examining each glove, we are able to identify non-compliant gloves and remove them, which allows us to achieve an unprecedented level of confidence in the protection of HCPs and Patients.
