title: Embryotoxicity of three commercially available powderless surgical gloves.
abstract: The one-cell mouse embryo bioassay was utilized to test the embryotoxicity of three brands of powerless surgical gloves; Pristine, Ansell, and BioGel. The Pristine gloves demonstrated no significant embryotoxicity, while the other two brands demonstrated a consistent inhibition of blastocyst development of one-cell mouse embryos.
