Great disappointment to people, the pandemic has no sign to recede but keeps marching of spread with the new variant Omicron leading the depressing way alongside 46 possible new variants being reported. Who might have thought it would last more than 2 years? Around 300 million people have been infected globally and taking off the stuffy masks seems to be far away. South Korea has been doing relatively well than many other countries in the world in terms of quarantine, and numerous companies, equipped with innovative ideas and cutting edge devices, are making their names and brands known to the world. However, with spread of Omicron, the tougher social distancing is back and those who do not have vaccine pass do not get into commercial premises in a pair or group with businesses operating in limited hours.

[Clean Master]

Clean Master is a disposable bed sheet introduced by a South Korean quarantine company MK Partner specialized also in disposable gloves and cold chain boxes. Clean Master is being used in many hospitals, fire stations and ambulances for excellent material, function and convenience. Material-wise, it is made of EN-14126 anti-virus fabric that is also static-free. The feel of touch on the skin is smooth and nice and powerful absorbtion and ventilation have raised hygiene and reduced burden of the cleaning up by preventing sweat and blood from smearing onto bed. Despite these excellent benefits, Clean Master is cheaper than linen bed sheets on the market. For this reason, orders are coming in from hotels, guest houses and isolating facilities alongside clinics, hospitals and fire stations. Recognizing quality and function, the Public Procurement Service added Clean Master in its supply goods last November.

[Cold Chain Box]

Pfizer must be stored and delivered in the temperature below -70°C and Moderna and AZ between 2 and 5°C. So each vaccine must use each specially designed box such as cold chain box. The aluminum Clean Master cold chain box boasts excellent cooling power and is designed to be separated for easy sanitizing and cleaning. It is waterproof, blocks the sunlight and its LED thermometer shows real time temperature on the screen. It alarms when the temperature goes down or up of the set temperature and the shoulder strap makes carrying easy.

[Gloves]

If the poly gloves on the market is slippery to use, Clean Master gloves boast excellent tensile and elastic force thanks to nitril and latex-driven material. They are not slippery nor wetty but give a great sense of grip. The gloves come in small, medium and large of pink, blue and green. When in emergency, you can quickly wear the gloves that suit your hands by the color. It is notable that 90% of medical gloves were imported before Clean Master gloves attracted attention from medical staff in the nation. The gloves has obtained a FDA certificate.

[Corporate Social Responsibility]

MK Partner donated 50,000 masks and sanitizers to Uljin County early last year as well as 1 million Clean Master gloves to the Korea Medical Association in August the same year. Also in December, the company donated gloves, cold chain boxes and hospital gowns worth 10 million won ($8,342) to 16 public health centers in Busan. <PowerKorea>
