Abstract

Conventional surgical rubber gloves are pervious to the methylmethacrylate monomer (MMM) of acrylic bone cement. An in uitro technique was used which proved butyl rubber gloves, 0.48 mm thick, to be impervious to MMM. To avoid sensitization, butyl rubber gloves may be recommended to persons who are in contact with MMM. Such gloves should be worn by persons with known contact sensitization to MMM.
