According to BISON Polymers, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Attendees highlighted the comfortable fit, high tear resistance, and the overall high-quality workmanship of the gloves.  <\/p>\n<p>With around 78,000 trade visitors from 160 nations and approximately 5,300 exhibitors from 70 countries, MEDICA is considered one of the most important global platforms for innovation in medical technology. For BISON Polymers, the trade fair marked the starting point for presenting the new PENTAGUARD product line to an international professional audience. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At MEDICA, the world\u2019s leading medical technology trade fair in D\u00fcsseldorf, BISON Polymers presented its new disposable gloves for the first time.
