Glove Management & Utilization Program
Ansell's Glove Management Program is based on the detailed
analysis of medical glove utilization and expenditures by our highly trained team
of Clinical Consultants. The statistics generated will lead to recommendations designed
to:
- optimize product selection
- achieve product standardization by eliminating misuse & waste
- optimize patient & worker safety
- consolidate inventory by eliminating product duplication
- comply with regulatory standards
Ansell's Glove Management Program has also helped facilities
reduce overall costs.

STEP #l - GLOVE UTILZATION ANALYSIS
Your Ansell Clinical Consultant completes a detailed
survey of each department's usage patterns and requirements, which becomes the basis
for any recommended changes. The survey may be followed by confidential interviews.
STEP #2 - CONFIDENTIAL PERSONNEL SURVEY
Your Ansell Clinical Consultant interviews personnel
with special gloving needs, latex and chemical allergies, high risk of exposure
to blood and body fluid pathogens or chemical agents. Unique gloving needs are incorporated
into the program recommendations.
STEP #3 - RISK MANAGEMENT
Your Ansell Clinical Consultant meets with personnel
responsible for employee's health and safety and gathers information to identify
unique needs regarding skin sensitization/irritation. From this survey, we can recommend
alternatives for latex/chemical sensitive workers, and clarify costs related to
Workers Compensation, retraining and reassignment issues.
STEP #4 - MATERIALS MANAGEMENT LIASON
We review with the Materials Management Department their specific needs with regard
to ordering, purchasing group and managed care affiliations, storage capabilities
and other issues.
STEP #5 - FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
When the first four steps have been completed, we develop a confidential report
that permits you to look more closely at glove selection and management as a whole,
and identify steps that you can take to reduce overall glove costs.
To take advantage of Ansell's Glove Management and
Utilization Program, just contact your Ansell Representative
or the Ansell Customer Service Department at 1-800-952-9916.
*Ansell's management fees
will be refunded if the 10% cost reduction is not obtained.
