Great for general hand protection, vinyl gloves are a household and training staple!
![]() |
| SPFV1104 |
Looking for general purpose medical and/or training use gloves? Surecare offers quality soft, supple beaded-cuff examination gloves for single use in non-sterile environments.
Sold in a dispenser-ready box that holds 100 gloves, they are also available by the case. The case contains 1,000 gloves packaged as 10 boxes.
100% latex and powder-free exam gloves comply with US ASTM standards. That means you can use them to refill your OSHA required first aid kits!
The smooth finish gloves, made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), are manufactured with sensitive individuals in mind as they contain no protein. Why are protein and powder free gloves recommended for sensitive persons? This answer from the CDC:
Proteins responsible for latex allergies are attached to glove powder. When powdered gloves are worn, more latex protein reaches the skin. Also, when gloves are put on or removed, particles of latex protein powder become aerosolized and can be inhaled, contacting mucous membranes. As a result, allergic health care personnel and patients can experience symptoms related to cutaneous, respiratory, and conjunctival exposure. Health care personnel can become sensitized to latex proteins after repeated exposure. Work areas where only powder-free, low-allergen (i.e. reduced-protein) gloves are used show low or undetectable amounts of allergy-causing proteins.
Whether teaching a CPR/AED and First Aid class, coloring your hair, or working in food preparation, vinyl gloves work well for general hand protection. Shop our store and stock up today!

Responding without hesitation

| Ambu® CPR Res-Cue Key® Keychain, CB-3021 |
While we now train predominately with rescue or pocket masks, these aren't always practical to carry around with us on a lanyard, on our key ring, or even in our purse.
For a great any patient, any place alternative, Ambu manufactures this CPR mask and pouch. Ambu, a worldwide leader in professional rescuer equipment is a name synonymous with quality resuscitation supplies Their products can be found anywhere patient care is being performed - from the ambulance to the OR, Ambu is designed, used and trusted by those in the emergency response and patient care field.
This individually packaged CPR key chain is branded with the Ambu logo. The 2" x 2" ultra-compact, easy to use CPR Res-Cue Key features a CPR face shield with a one-way valve that prevents contamination of the outer surface of the mask. The woven nylon pouch even has a standard key ring hook so you can easily take it with you - on a keychain, belt, or on a lanyard.
Resuscitation is simplified as the latex free mask secures over the patient's ears for hands-free rescuer operation. Essential operating instructions are printed on the semi-transparent barrier, which also allows the rescuer to monitor the patient's color and response. It's great as an all around CPR mask, as one size fits children to adults.
We all learned in class to wear our PPE during CPR. Now you can respond with greater confidence knowing you'll be protecting both you and your patient as you work toward ROSC - a successful resuscitation!

Sandy Hook Elementary School: a note to those affected
I received this note from a LinkedIn connection and wanted to share it with you.
During this extremely trying time, compounded by what should be a joyous season, my heart breaks for those struggling with such unimaginable tragedy.
Please share this with anyone you feel might benefit and take time to feel gratitude for what we have and offer a hand to those without.

Dear Colleague,
As the leader of the National Center for Crisis Management and the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress, I want to write to my connections on LinkedIn to address the tragic event that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Those close to this event and directly impacted will have to contend with this horrific experience in the short-term and long-term as the psychological ramifications of this event emerge. All will likely be impacted in some manner and will have to cope with their own feelings and the feelings of others with whom they come into contact in a personal and professional capacity.
As professionals we will be charged with having to help others make sense of an occurrence that in the immediate makes no sense. We will have to attempt to make children and adults feel safe when we cannot assure them of absolute safety. We will have to come up with a plan to address the emergent psychological needs of those directly and indirectly impacted by this event. We will have to assist in keeping people functional.
Below are links to practical documents from A Practical Guide for Crisis Response in Our Schools: Sixth Edition and Comprehensive Acute Traumatic Stress Management, both publications of the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress. They include useful information for assisting professionals in addressing the emergent psychological needs of those impacted by this tragic event.

The mission of the Center and the Academy has always been to assist professionals and victims in addressing the emergent psychological needs of victims before, during and in the aftermath of a crisis situation. The Center's and the Academy's Professional Directory is available to find individuals to assist in meeting the needs of those effected by this incident by going to http://www.nc-cm.org/caregiversearch.htm .

I hope you find these documents informative and of assistance. Please feel free to share them with anyone you believe could benefit from them. I hope that you and your family are doing well during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Brad Lindell, Ph.D.
Chairman
