Product Feature: SemperShield Disposable Nitrile Glove

Sempermed has always had some great disposable gloves which we've shared about before here and here. But now, they're offering the same great gloves with an extended cuff for better protection!

The extra thickness of the glove plus the extended cuff makes the use of these gloves for high-risk situations where your safety and protection is a must.

The SemperShield Disposable's have a textured surface which promises to deliver a secure grip without compromising the sensitivity you so need with the demands of your job. They're even safe for use with chemotherapy drugs.


One thing we super love about Sempermed USA Inc is their "GLove the Planet" commitment. They're aware of environmental impact and the footprint they make, therefore making sure their products lead higher efficiencies thus resulting in less waste.

They're saving over 1,500 trees a year by packaging twice as many gloves in every box, which has reduced their paper consumption by over 1.5 MILLION pounds.

Product Feature: B2 EMT Helmet


Standards are changing and so are the mandates in the EMS world. Make sure you and your station stay up to date and safe on the scene and in the back of the moving ambulance. Think about this: Firemen don’t go anywhere without a helmet. Skateboarders and bicyclists wear helmets. So why don't EMT's in the back of a bumpy, moving ambulance wear any head protection?

Aren't you worthy of head protection? Of course you are! With the new B2 EMT Helmet, you can be safe, too.




The B2 EMT Helmet is a low profile, lightweight, great helmet for use in confined quarters-helmet. It'll protect you both inside or outside of the ambulance without getting in your way like some of the other helmets. 

This helmet was created to better service EMS providers by offering the protecting you need and deserve, yet with the confidence of advanced design and superior quality.

Some of the advanced features include:
  • 3mm Injection Molded Polycarbonate Visor
  • Curved design with nose cutout can accommodate respirators
  • Lightweight composite Carbon/Kevlar Shell
  • F1 Liner Technology – Multi-density liner design from the advanced F1 Racing Helmet
  • Removable / Replaceable fit pad system
  • 3M Reflective Tape for enhanced visibility
  • Quick release padded chin strap with steel buckle
  • Retention system allows use of stethoscope or communications
  • DOT FMVSS 218 Certified
  • Available in Navy Blue and Royal Blue
  • 3 sizes will fit sizes 52 to 63cm (XXS to XXL)
  • XXS/XS fits 52-55cm
  • S/M fits 56-59cm
  • L/XXL fits 60-64cm
Weighing in at only 1.5 pounds, it's not a big, bulky helmet that will get in your way. Comfort is taken into great concern as the padded quick-release chin strap still gives you complete access to the ears, and a visor that's compatible with not only your eyeglasses, but a respirator, too!

Find out more details and get your EMT's protected, today.
