Glove dispensing 101: Your guide to installing, storing, and using the Bastion Progenics™ Cuff-First solution in a medical setting

Elevate hygiene, efficiency, and safety in healthcare with Bastion Progenics™ 

In medical environments, hygiene and infection control are paramount. The Bastion Progenics™ Cuff-First glove dispensing system is designed to minimise cross-contamination while maximising efficiency and reducing glove waste. This innovative solution is transforming glove usage in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings. 

Why choose a glove dispenser in healthcare environments? 

Traditional glove dispensing methods expose gloves to unnecessary contact, increasing the risk of contamination. The Progenics™ system ensures that gloves are dispensed cuff-first, meaning users only touch the portion of the glove that goes over the wrist. This dramatically reduces bacterial contamination and improves infection control. 

• Enhanced infection prevention: gloves dispensed from the Progenics™ system have 92.5% less bacterial contamination than those dispensed traditionally. 
• Cost efficiency: the one-at-a-time dispensing mechanism reduces glove wastage by 20% to 40%, leading to significant cost savings. 
• Improved workflow: quick and easy access to gloves enhances efficiency for busy medical staff. 

How the Bastion Progenics™ system works 

Unlike conventional glove boxes, the Progenics™ dispenser ensures minimal glove contact. The gloves are dispensed cuff-first from the bottom of the box, preventing contamination of the fingers and palm areas. Additionally, gloves cannot be reinserted into the box, eliminating the risk of recontamination. 

Key features: 

• Cuff-first dispensing: users only touch the cuff area, reducing contamination risks. 
• Single-glove release: prevents unnecessary waste and ensures controlled usage. 
• Wall-mounted design: keeps gloves away from contaminated surfaces. 
• Universal compatibility: works with both Bastion Progenics™ Nitrile and Vinyl gloves, available in various sizes (small, medium, large, extra large). 

Installing your Progenics™ glove dispenser 

A proper installation ensures optimal performance, hygiene, and accessibility. Follow these guidelines: 

1. Choose the right location: 

• Position the dispenser on a visible wall near hand hygiene stations. 
• Ensure it's in an easily accessible area, away from equipment obstructions. 

2. Determine the correct height: 

• The bottom of the dispenser should be 1.4m to 1.6m above the floor for easy reach. 
• Gloves should be in clear sight, avoiding the need to search by touch. 

3. Secure the mounting bracket: 

• Use screw fixings or double-sided tape for sturdy installation. 
• Ensure proper wall anchoring for plasterboard or other materials. 
• Place multiple brackets side by side rather than stacking for better usability. 

4. Maintain hygiene standards: 

• Always opt for a wall-mounted dispenser rather than leaving glove boxes on trolleys or tables, which increases cross-contamination risks. 
• The cuff-first approach ensures users only touch the gloves they need, maintaining cleanliness and reducing unnecessary exposure. 

Expanding beyond healthcare: where else can the Progenics™ system be used? 

While the Bastion Progenics™ system is a game-changer in medical settings, its benefits extend to aged care facilities, dental clinics, laboratories, food processing plants, and cleanrooms—anywhere hygiene and efficiency are crucial.
