Abstract

Abstract Several testing methods for the detection of holes in disposable gloves intended for medical use were investigated. An air inflation method was developed which proved to be the most sensitive and reliable. A survey of the quality of commercially available disposable latex and plastic gloves was conducted in which the air inflation method was compared with the pinhole testing procedure prescribed in the Department of Defense specifications for disposable gloves. The air inflation method gave more reliable results.
