Ferno’s “handy” solutions for funeral and mortuary sector

We have teamed up with Microflex, the leading medical examination glove manufacturer, to offer a range of examination, handling and embalming gloves for the funeral and mortuary sector and hospital pathology units.
The Microflex range of gloves are all powder-free and manufactured to exacting levels of quality, performance and safety.
Safegrip® latex gloves are four times thicker than standard latex gloves, providing high levels of defense against high risk chemicals such as embalming fluid during the preparation of the deceased in the mortuary. The gloves have been specially designed to minimise allergy risk and enhance protective qualities.
For those who are allergic or sensitive to latex, the Supreno® Plus examination gloves provide robust and reliable barrier protection, with an extended cuff to give better coverage of the wrist and forearm for improved user protection. UltraSense® Plus nitrile gloves incorporate enhanced tactile sensitivity, which combined with their non-stick surface produces better grip and handling of instruments.
EXCEED® extra-fine nitrile gloves offer unparalleled comfort and tactile grip, whilst maintaining the levels of strength and protection required for regular every-day handling use.
 Jon Ellis, managing director at Ferno, said: “Ferno has a long association with Microflex, who are leaders in the field in the US and Europe. We work closely with them to deliver some of the best medical, pathology, funeral and mortuary service protection solutions in the UK.
“Our range of gloves offer excellent performance and strength without being restrictive to the demands of mortuary and pathology work. Each design has innovative qualities which make them stand out from other products on the market.”
