The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical performance of new powder-free commercially available synthetic examination gloves to that of commercially available powder-free latex examination gloves. The synthetic gloves were significantly thinner than the latex gloves. Despite the dec

The purpose of this study was to compare the resistance to viral penetration of powder-free synthetic examination gloves with powder-free latex examination gloves commonly used in hospitals. Because these gloves had no holes, this study examined viral penetration through a membrane. Using a standard
The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical performance of commercially available orthopedic gloves to that of a single surgical glove, as well as a double glove system. The orthopedic gloves were found to be thicker than the single surgical glove. This increased thickness of the orth
There are a wide variety of powder-free gloves that can now be used by surgeons. The purpose of this study was to quantify the forces required to don these powder-free surgical gloves. The lowest donning forces for wet hands was encountered with powder-free gloves coated with a hydrogel polymer. In
The purpose of this study was to evaluate ten commercially available latex, powder-free surgical gloves and four commercially available non-latex, powder-free surgical gloves using standardized, reproducible biomechanical parameters that included glove thickness, puncture resistance, and glove donni
