Abstract:
From a large number of different kinds of protective gloves currently on the market, 19 were selected for virus permeability testing using a special model. Most of the gloves tested offered poor mechanical protection against penetration of adenovirus and poliovirus, while vaccinia virus was found to traverse the gloves less freely.
