The equipment described in this report are primarily defined by its title since the title is generally long and includes most of the criteria used to differentiate the equipment from other similar equipment. The equipment descriptions are sourced from the U.S. Census. Additionally descriptions can be collected from the manufacturing industry descriptions that each equipment is categorized. The U.S. Census manufacturing industry descriptions for equipment are listed below

Medical gloves are personal protective equipment (PPE) used to protect HCPs and/or patients from infection or illness during medical procedures and examinations. They are elements of infection-control strategy and are used when the user’s hands touch body fluids, including blood, respiratory secretions, vomit, urine or feces, certain hazardous drugs, or potentially contaminated items. Medical gloves are disposable and include both examination gloves and surgical gloves. Compared with examination gloves, surgical gloves offer better sizing with better precision and sensitivity and maintain a higher standard. Examination gloves are available as either sterile or non-sterile, while surgical gloves are generally sterile. Both surgical and examination gloves can also be used for handling chemotherapy agents for cancer treatment. In addition, medical gloves are widely used in chemical and biochemical laboratories and offer basic protection against corrosives and surface contaminants.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the thermoplastic composites market. Thermoplastic composites (TMCs) evolved from structural polymer composites. These materials do not experience chemical instability because they utilize a thermoplastic matrix. When heated, TMCs soften and can be remolded without degradation. When they cool, they solidify into the finished shape.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the thermoforming plastic market. Thermoforming is a plastic molding technique that results in a variety of highly usable products. During this manufacturing process, thin plastic sheets are heated in order to make them easy to manipulate. Once a sheet reaches a pliable temperature, it is formed over a male or female mold.
