Ordinary surgical rubber gloves are penetrated by methylmethacrylate monomer (MMA) in less than 1 minute, as demonstrated by gas chromatographic measurements. A three-layered PVP glove, 0.07 mm thick - consisting of an outer layer of polyethylene, an intermediary layer of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, and an inner layer of polyethylene - was impervious for 20 minutes, whereas a viton-butyl rubber glove, 0.27 mm thick, was impervious for 15 minutes. The PVP glove is recommended to orthopedic surgeons, nurses, and other handling acrylic bone cements to avoid sensitization, and is especially recommended to persons with known contact allergy to MMA.Downloads
