Halyard Health Gloves

Halyard Medical Supplies

Kimberly-Clark continued to grow and expand, separating its Health Care Division from its packaged goods for consumer markets in 1980. The company also moved into new markets worldwide and began selling products to more than 150 countries around the globe. Health Care Division continued to grow after this separation and was eventually spun off from the parent company as its own independent and publicly traded company in 2014.

In 2017, Halyard Health announced that it would be moving its Surgical and Infection Prevention division to Owens & Minor while retaining the Halyard name. The Halyard Medical Device Division continued to operate under the Halyard name until June of 2018, when it rebranded itself under the name of Avanos Medical, Inc.

Under the corporate leadership of Owens & Minor, Halyard Health continues to deliver excellence in medical staff protection through its line of Halyard purple nitrile gloves, chemo gloves and other Halyard gloves. These products are used throughout the medical industry to prevent contamination for healthcare facility workers when handling hazardous materials or working with patients who may have infectious conditions.

Understanding the Product Lines from Halyard Health

Halyard gloves, gowns and drapes are designed for use in the medical or laboratory environment to provide a barrier against contamination by or exposure to hazardous chemicals. Halyard purple gloves are considered a gold standard for protection for technicians and medical workers who must administer chemotherapy and other potentially hazardous medications to the patients they serve.

What are nitrile gloves?

The University of Pennsylvania's center for Environmental Health & Radiation Safety defines nitrile gloves as gloves made of synthetic rubber that are designed to provide protection against chemical compounds and abrasive surfaces. These purple gloves are not intended for prolonged use. Instead, they are designed to be worn for a brief time while handling dangerous medications or potentially infectious patients.

Nitrile purple gloves are used in the dental industry when cleaning surfaces or treating patients. These gloves contain no latex, which can trigger an allergic response in some patients. Halyard purple nitrile gloves are generally a safer alternative to latex gloves. The strength and protection offered by purple gloves make them a preferred choice for medical and dental professionals. Halyard gloves are also used by food service workers and cosmetologists to protect their hands and prevent contamination.

What is chemotherapy?

The Mayo Clinic defines chemotherapy as the use of strong drugs to attack cancer cells and other rapidly multiplying cells inside the body. These drugs can be extremely hazardous to the caregivers who must provide these treatments to their patients. As a result, the technicians and medical staff who administer these treatments must protect themselves against the damaging effects of these drugs by wearing chemo gloves.

What are chemo gloves used for?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) categorizes chemo gloves as Class I medical devices. This means that Halyard chemo gloves have undergone periodic review and evaluation to make sure that they meet the FDA's strict requirements for resistance to leaks and tears. Chemo rated gloves from Halyard Health are used to handle the medications used in chemotherapy safely and without undue risk to the technicians who perform these tasks.

Chemotherapy protection solutions from Halyard can promote a safer working environment for your staff members. This can improve employee morale in your facility and can reduce the risks of contamination or infection spreading among your staff and patients. CIA Medical offers a range of Halyard protective gear and Halyard gloves designed to suit the needs of your staff and your healthcare organization.
