Nantong Qiangsheng Graphene Technology Co. to invent Graphene-based medical gloves

Nantong Qiangsheng Graphene Technology Co, Chinese innovator and Shanghai's Ruijin Hospital have collaborated to produce graphene-based gloves that can help patients with Raynaud syndrome and rheumatic immune illnesses.

Because coldness is a common symptom of several illnesses, warming up the fingers is considered one of the most easy and efficient remedies.

Qiangsheng began designing graphene gloves with this in mind, a rare material renowned for its strength and conductivity.

The latter characteristic was emphasised in the creation of these accessories, which were linked to a lithium battery and an electronic temperature device to optimise patient settings.

“The conductive fibre is also used in thermal clothing, and we are working on a new generation of intelligent clothes using graphene-based conductive fibres,” said Sha Xiaolin, chairman of Qiangsheng. “Graphene is a very promising new material that might be used in health and medical items to aid in patient recovery. "We've created graphene fiber-based goods with antibacterial, anti-mite, and anti-static properties," says the company.
