Cranberry.

Cranberry USA prints its address as 828 San Pablo Avenue, Pinole, California 94564. The brand-protection page says genuine product moves only through authorized distributors, that Cranberry does not authorize overseas distributors to sell into the United States, and that export sales of gloves and masks are handled by Cranberry directly. Email on that page is info@cranberryusa.com. The page warns about counterfeit sites that misspell the name.

The history timeline starts, on the page reviewed, with powdered latex exam gloves and then dates coated gloves to 2001, First Touch gloves to 2002, a skin-health mask to 2005, ergonomic nitrile with NuSoft to 2008, an FDA-cleared low-dermatitis nitrile to 2009, a 4-ply mask in 2010, 300-count boxes in 2013, chloroprene gloves in 2016, the 360 mask design in 2017, and another low-derma nitrile note in 2018. The page also prints sales-rank claims sourced to an SDM report. This profile does not adopt those ranks as Dental Country findings.

Current glove copy splits nitrile into biodegradable Bio Nitrile, coated Moisture Lock, low-dermatitis styles, and the Compac dispenser. The biodegradation sentence is the company's description of a landfill test condition. It is not a claim that a glove disappears in a clinic trash can. Operators with a latex allergy are the reason nitrile and the non-latex Smart Dam are in the line.

A scam alert on the site says Cranberry does not authorize third-party factories to use the trademark. If a quote looks unusually cheap, the brand-protection page tells buyers that is a counterfeit pattern. Buy from a distributor you can verify, not from an anonymous marketplace listing.

Cranberry suits a dental practice buying exam gloves, masks, and non-latex dams in volume through a dealer. Hygiene and operative rooms both go through gloves. Endodontic and restorative isolation is the Smart Dam buyer. The rubber dam guide and the latex dam guide explain dams. A nitrile glove is not a dam.

The office products directory lists other consumable makers. Cranberry is PPE, not a composite.

Offices that need a latex glove for a specific tactile reason should read the latex line separately from nitrile. The history page still treats latex as part of the brand. Allergy policy belongs to the practice, not to a slogan.

Other glove makers sell nitrile in similar boxes. Compare thickness, cuff length, texture, and whether the claim is low-dermatitis or a coating with lanolin. Cranberry's Moisture Lock description is a coating. Bio Nitrile is a breakdown claim for landfill conditions. They solve different purchasing checkboxes.

Smart Dam is non-latex. The latex dam guide is still relevant because many offices stock both. Do not assume a non-latex dam punches and stretches like the latex sheet the assistants already know. Try a sheet before you switch the whole clinic.

Masks with an anti-fog claim are not respirators unless the box says so. Cranberry's Carbon X copy talks about fog and comfort. Fit-testing a respirator is a different product class. Read the ASTM or performance marking on the mask if your infection-control policy requires a level.

Buy through an authorized distributor. The brand-protection page says Cranberry will not authenticate random marketplace stock and does not sell through online discount warehouses. That is the practical control against counterfeits.

Glove changes are a staff issue. A low-dermatitis nitrile and a thicker utility glove are both nitrile and are not the same task. Let the people who wear them try the size range before you sign an annual order. Compac changes the box shape and the storage shelf, which matters in a small sterilization room.

The biodegradation percentage is the company's landfill description. It does not change regulated medical-waste rules in your state. Dispose of used gloves the way your waste vendor requires.
