SYNA Medical

What SYNA Medical does

SYNA Medical is a privately held, women-owned manufacturer of clinical-grade nitrile and vinyl exam gloves, headquartered in Naples, Florida with a secondary office in Brooklyn, New York. The company was founded in 2020 by Hindy Rosenberg during the COVID-19 pandemic after pivoting from a promotional products business into PPE sourcing, and later co-founded with Anita Lovse under the 'Gloves with a Purpose' brand. Its product portfolio comprises two SKUs, nitrile exam gloves (formulated with +95% Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber) and vinyl exam gloves, manufactured under supervision on high-speed double-track production lines and certified to ASTM D6319, ASTM D6978, and ASTM F1671 standards with SGS Final Random Inspection at AQL 1.5.

SYNA generates revenue exclusively through hardware sales of these exam gloves, with all distribution handled through an exclusive arrangement with Medline, the large healthcare supplies distributor. This channel partnership, cemented in late 2024, gives SYNA access to Medline's 50+ distribution centers and 50+ years of healthcare supply expertise, and is paired with WBENC women-owned business certification that unlocks supplier-diversity procurement budgets. The company also holds the position of exclusive national sponsor of the American Cancer Society's ResearcHERS initiative, with $100,000 contributed to date, creating a mission-driven brand identity tied to women-led cancer research funding.

The go-to-market motion is single-channel via Medline, supplemented by a free sample program routed through Medline's PPE page. Marketing is brand-storytelling-led across a company website, Facebook, and LinkedIn, focused on women-empowerment messaging rather than performance or technical differentiation. End customers are US healthcare providers, with Genesis HealthCare publicly endorsing the partnership. The company has no disclosed revenue, no institutional funding, and operates with a small team implied by two co-founders and two office locations.
