Cranberry gloves are packaged using 1 Direction™, our proprietary dispensing system designed to allow gloves to be retrieved individually by the cuff. This helps reduce direct contact with glove fingers and palm surfaces during donning.

The idea behind 1 Direction™ came from a simple observation.

When people talk about infection prevention, the focus is usually on hand hygiene, surface disinfection, sterilisation procedures, and barrier protection. These are important parts of the process.

However, less attention is often given to what happens before the glove is worn.

During glove retrieval and donning, gloves move through several steps. They are taken from the box, separated, positioned, and applied. In many conventional dispensing systems, contact may happen on glove areas that are later used during procedures.

This does not mean traditional methods are ineffective. Rather, it highlights another area worth considering: workflow.

1 Direction™ was developed with this in mind.

By allowing cuff first retrieval, the system helps reduce unnecessary handling during dispensing while fitting naturally into existing clinical routines.

The goal was straightforward.

Reduce contact points.
Improve glove handling.
Support cleaner workflows.

This same attention to detail can also be seen in Cranberry’s First Touch® manufacturing process, where products are manufactured and packaged with zero direct skin contact exposure.

At Cranberry, small details are taken seriously because they are often repeated hundreds of times throughout the day. A single step may seem minor, but across clinics, practices, and healthcare facilities, those actions add up.

This continuous attention to everyday workflows is part of delivering The Specialists’ Edge.

Because sometimes better protection starts before the glove is even worn.
