โœฆ Synopsis

Holes in latex gloves can be reliably detected by commercially available electronic devices. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of an electronic glove hole detection device using latex gloves to that of neoprene, vinyl, and nitrile latexfree gloves. The electronic hole detection device accurately detected holes in the latex gloves during the 2-h study. In contrast, the latex-free gloves were immediately conductive of electricity in the absence of holes. Consequently, electronic glove hole detection devices cannot be reliably used with latex-free gloves.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of a new double glove hole detection system in the Emergency Department. First, the frequency of holes in both gloves of the double glove hole detection system was determined using a watertight test method. Second, the frequency of glove punc
