15th Annual Product Parade: Infection Control, Insurance

FreeForm EC by Microflex

The new FreeForm EC, a "super-soft" nitrile glove designed by Microflex, is the result of 18+ months of research and development in nitrile glove manufacturing. Nitrile's tendency to constrict can cause hands to work harder and become more fatigued over extended periods of wear. Microflex's proprietary formulation eliminates these undesirable characteristics while maintaining the durability properties associated with conventional nitrile gloves. FreeForm EC is an NFPA 1999 (2003 ed.) approved product. For more information on Microflex or FreeForm EC, contact Microflex at 800/876-6866.
