title: Biogel Reveal: a puncture indication system from Regent Medical.
abstract: Gloves provide an essential barrier against contamination and are an important item of personal protective equipment. Gloves used in clinical practice do leak although there is no direct evidence that such leaks result in transmission of infection. Double-gloving is recommended in theatre as a means of reducing hand injury during surgical procedures. Biogel Reveal is a double-glove puncture indication system that shows punctures as a visible green colour when damaged.
