With roots dating back to 1910, Medline is a leading manufacturer and distributor of medical products. It offers a comprehensive range of medical consumables, including gloves, surgical kits, drapes and gowns, protective apparel, fluid management, essentials for the operating theatre and critical care unit, and patient care products.

The Medline-WRAP partnership originated in 2016 from Medline’s participation in a WRAP-led ethical sourcing practicum, which led to a formal request for WRAP to revise Medline’s Supplier Code of Conduct. By 2019, Medline’s surgical gloves division became the first to undergo WRAP’s certification process. This resulted in a facility in Indonesia that manufactures Medline gloves becoming the first in the medical glove industry to achieve WRAP certification. In 2022, the same facility achieved WRAP’s platinum-level certification, the highest possible recognition. Today, that facility remains the only glove vendor globally with this top-tier certification.
