Gloves afford hand protection by minimizing skin contact. The effectiveness of medical gloves to protect against permeation of the monomers, methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), and 1,4-butanediol dimethacrylate (1,4-BDMA), was assessed focusing on permeation rates and degradation of glove materials caused by monomer contact
Using protective gloves, protection or potential risk?

Eleven different protective gloves made of natural rubber, synthetic rubber or plastic polymer materials were tested with regard to permeability to methylmethacrylate (MMA). Further, the cytotoxicity of the glove materials were tested using three methods
