Protection That Moves in the Right Direction

When it's time to reach for gloves or a mask—which happens all day, every day—Cranberry offers a variety of unique options that blend safety and comfort to meet the unique needs of dental professionals. Here's a snapshot of just a few.

Breathe Easier

The Carbon 4-Ply Face mask uses a Quad-Fold design to provide 15% more breathing volume, while adjustable nose and chin strips create a custom fit and a tight seal. “The excellent fit and breath-ability were better than most masks I’ve used,” said Lynell Ciranna, a hygienist for over 40 years. “I didn’t feel like I couldn’t breathe when the office was hot or I was really busy.” Ciranna has even recommended the Carbon mask to her colleagues. “I was filling in at a friend’s office where the staff had been using it, and everyone agreed that it’s a great mask,” she said. “It makes working more comfortable."

The Cranberry 360 4-Ply Face Mask is designed to form a complete 360° seal around the nose and mouth. When opened, it forms a V-shape that prevents collapse and provides extra breathing volume, while its curved-edge design allows the mask to lay flat against the skin. Dr. Rachna Surana, who is prone to allergic reactions, likes that the mask is also free of latex, fiber-glass, dye, and chemicals. “I have never used a better mask with so many versatile properties,” she said.

All Hands on Deck

While each Cranberry glove is crafted to meet the varying needs of dental professionals, they all share a common thread: an innovative 1 Direction packaging method that dispenses each glove by the cuff. This minimizes direct contact with the fingers and palms, which are prone to high contamination.

Curve Fitted is the first nitrile exam glove designed to contour to hand shape, while the Bio Nitrile is the first biodegradable glove in the dental market to break down by 80% in less than a year and a half. With stronger durability than traditionally manufactured nitrile gloves, Transcend is both soft and strong, with textured fingertips for precise gripping in both dry and wet conditions.

Expanding the Carbon Series product line, Carbon Air nitrile gloves offer a bold black color that minimizes visible stains during use. This glove also features a lighter formulation that breeds exceptional comfort, fit, and tear resistance. “The gloves fit amazingly well and have a great texture,” said Dr. Amy Sherman. “I appreciate that the black color doesn’t show blood or lipstick.”
