title: The efficacy of the ASTM's barrier tests even a 'pass' can fail in use!
abstract: The barrier protection quality of materials is an important issue in the OR. Some tests of barrier effectiveness can be inappropriate in relation to actual use. Upcoming test methods may change the basis on which a material's barrier quality is evaluated.
