Cardinal Health is known for driving the creation of best-in-class product technologies. Over the years, we have proudly introduced advanced, protective platforms, technologies and materials that have impacted the industry...

Microfiber composite technology
Cardinal Health created a revolutionary nonwoven apparel fabric technology developed to provide exceptional barrier protection without sacrificing breathability and comfort. Microfiber technology can be found in our OPTI-MAX® FT and SmartGown™ protective apparel lines.

Glove triple-dip bonding technology
Our revolutionary triple-dipped glove manufacturing technology has enabled us to produce gloves with three distinct layers. The outer layer of natural rubber latex offers a soft feel, greater elasticity and high-tensile strength. The middle layer is a specially formulated blend of synthetic nitrile and natural rubber latex that bonds the inner and outer layers and maintains its performance integrity. The inner layer, closest to the hand, is synthetic (nonlatex) nitrile for outstanding durability and effortless donning. This triple-dip technology can be found in our Sterile Protegrity® CP cleanroom gloves.

Synthetic polyisoprene glove technology
Our proprietary polyisoprene engineering technology has enabled us to produce a synthetic glove with a chemical molecularity identical to natural rubber latex. Our polyisoprene gloves are 100% synthetic but are much more comfortable than traditional, stiff alternatives to natural rubber latex. This synthetic polyisoprene glove technology is found in our Sterile Esteem® CP cleanroom gloves.

Clinically proven emollient glove coating technology
After years of research, a recognized team of Cardinal Health scientists created a special glove coating formula that is clinically proven to improve the condition of your skin, while wearing the protective gloves. Neu-Thera® emollient actually protects hands from moisture loss while restoring hands' smooth texture for deep-down relief. This clinically proven emollient is found in our Esteem® nitrile gloves with Neu-Thera® formulation and Positive Touch® latex gloves with Neu-Thera® formulation.

Advanced "stretchy" nitrile glove formulation technology
Our unique "stretchy" nitrile glove formulation conforms to the hand and fits similarly to natural rubber latex. This stretchy nitrile formula provides all the strength and protection of a nitrile glove with a much greater range of motion, especially around the thumb area. This stretchy nitrile glove technology is found in our Esteem® nitrile gloves.
