SS White Burs, Inc., a leader in providing innovative products for dentistry, has announced the sale of its dental operatory glove business to Crosstex International on February 3, 2004. Representatives for SS White conveyed that their glove line no longer fit into the strategic objectives of SS White Burs. SS White is a leading manufacturer of high quality carbide dental burs, diamonds and the recently introduced SmartPrep™ Instruments, unique polymer burs used in cavity preparation. The SS White Glove Line has provided dentists with diversity in styles and sizes including a unique, soft feel that is designed to provide relief from hand sensitivity and muscle fatigue. These gloves are a quality addition to the Crosstex product line, which emphasizes high quality infection control/single-use disposables.
Like SS White, Crosstex is a family-owned, international company. Founded in 1953, Crosstex markets high quality, innovative products for the healthcare profession and distributes these products through a network of distributors in more than 80 countries. Operating 6 distribution facilities located in New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Europe, South America and Japan, Crosstex services the entire global market in a timely and efficient manner.
