YTY Introduces Another World-First: Chemicool™ (Fentanyl-Resistant) 4.0g
The World's Lowest-Weight CDC-Compliant Fentanyl-Resistant Nitrile Examination Glove
- Thursday, September 13, 2018
YTY has introduced yet another world first: Chemicool™ (Fentanyl-Resistant), the world’s lowest-weight Fentanyl-resistant Nitrile Examination Glove. Offered at a 4.0g weight, Chemicool™ (Fentanyl-Resistant) is an incredibly cost-effective solution that meets the CDC guidelines for hand-protection against dangerous synthetic opioids. In addition, the low weight allows for increased dexterity for critical EMS tasks.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid pain reliever, and is typically used to treat severe pain. It is estimated to be 80 times more potent than Morphine, and 100 times more potent than Heroin. Excessive exposure, or even extended exposure to lower doses of Fentanyl, may be fatal.
The increased prevalence of Fentanyl in the illicit drug market has led to a greater risk of exposure for First Responders, DEA agents, and other law enforcement officers, as First Responders / EMS professionals often come into contact with users or overdose victims who are emitting, or have emitted, bodily secretions (saliva, vomit, or other bodily fluids) that contain trace amounts of Fentanyl. The same can be said for Police, and those working in Hospital Emergency Room environments.
Please reach out to your YTY Sales representative to discuss this technology further and for additional details.
