Hasma H., . and Alias O., . and Fauzi M. S., . Barrier integrity of punctured gloves: NR superior to vinyl and nitrile. pp. 231-240. ISSN 1511-1768
Abstract
Barrier integrity of NR vinyl and nitrile examination gloves was determined by assessing the amount of virus (phiX174) suspension penetrating through the fingers punctured with acupuncture and syringe needles of 0.22 mm to 0.45 mm diameter. The water leak test showed a 100 failure in vinyl and nitrile gloves when punctured with 0.3 mm and 0.4 mm needles respectively. NR gloves however showed markedly less failure even when punctured with needles up to 0.45 mm diameter. Failure in water leak test indicated a virus penetration of 2 muL. Puncture with 26G syringe needle showed 2500 muL of virus suspension penetrating through vinyl and nitrile gloves compared to 25 muL with NR gloves. The low leak from punctured NR gloves was observed to be associated with their low modulus and high tear strength resistance compared to those of vinyl and nitrile gloves. Scanning electron micrograph showed apparently closed tear slit in NR gloves compared to the opened tear in vinyl and nitrile gloves.
