Medical Glove Water-impermeability Tester
The medical glove water-impermeability tester is used to determine the water-impermeability performance of medical rubber examination gloves, including those used for handling contaminated materials, as well as chemical and microbiological protective gloves. It is also known as a medical glove water-impermeability testing instrument or rubber glove water-impermeability testing machine. It can be used for relevant testing and inspection by testing laboratories, glove manufacturers, and labor protection equipment inspection agencies.
Applications
The impermeability tester for medical gloves is mainly used to determine the impermeability of medical rubber examination gloves (including rubber examination gloves for handling contaminated materials, chemical and microbiological protection gloves). This kind of testing is of vital importance for ensuring the effectiveness and safety of gloves during medical procedures, as impermeability is a key indicator for evaluating whether gloves can effectively block the penetration of body fluids. The tester can be used by glove manufacturers and labor protection product inspection institutions to conduct relevant tests and inspections to ensure that products comply with relevant standards and regulations.

Accessoriess
1. Suspension device: The gloves are secured through a suspension system to prevent displacement during testing, thus avoiding deviations in the results.
2. Special sample clamp: Ensures a tight seal between the glove and the testing system, preventing liquid leakage that could affect the test results.
3. Pressure monitoring: Some models are equipped with a precision pressure gauge that displays the air pressure value in real time, with an accuracy of ±1kPa, ensuring testing stability.
FAQ
1. What is the primary function of the Medical Glove Water-Impermeability Tester?
The Medical Glove Water-Impermeability Tester is designed to determine the water-impermeability performance of medical rubber gloves, including examination gloves used for handling contaminated materials as well as chemical and microbiological protective gloves. By filling gloves with a specified volume of water and maintaining them in a vertical state for a defined period, the tester identifies whether water leakage occurs. This testing is essential for evaluating whether gloves can effectively block the penetration of body fluids, thereby ensuring safety and reliability during medical procedures and protective operations.
2. Why is water-impermeability testing critical for medical gloves?
Water-impermeability is a key performance indicator for medical gloves because it directly reflects the glove’s ability to prevent the penetration of body fluids, chemicals, and microorganisms during use. If a glove fails this test, it may expose medical personnel to contamination risks. The tester allows laboratories, glove manufacturers, and labor protection inspection agencies to verify glove performance under standardized conditions, ensuring that products meet regulatory requirements and are safe for clinical, laboratory, and protective applications.
3. Which standards does the Medical Glove Water-Impermeability Tester comply with?
The tester complies with GB 10213-2006 (Appendix A, Impermeability Test of Medical Rubber Examination Gloves), GB 7543-2006 (Appendix A, Impermeability Test of Sterile Rubber Surgical Gloves), and ASTM D5151 for the detection of holes in medical gloves.
4. What structural and design features ensure stable and reliable testing?
The tester features a high-grade acrylic bucket that resists yellowing, an aluminum alloy frame, and stainless-steel fittings for durability and deformation resistance. It is equipped with lockable swivel casters for easy movement and stability during operation.
5. How does the multi-station design improve testing efficiency?
The instrument is equipped with multiple testing stations (such as 12 stations), each with an automatic clamping function. This allows several gloves to be tested simultaneously under the same conditions, improving efficiency while ensuring consistent positioning and accurate test results.
