    Medical gloves can effectively isolate medical pollution and prevent cross infection between doctors and patients, which has become a necessary item for hospitals In clinic, especially in the operation with infection risk, Zui is worried about the damage or perforation of gloves, which is a common problem in Zui, especially in orthopedic and plastic surgery There are many factors that lead to the damage or perforation of gloves, such as equipment damage, bone tissue stab injury, and the damage caused by the decrease of glove strength The damage of large area is easy to be found, while the damage of small perforation is not easy to be found, and the risk of cross infection is invisible Therefore, it is necessary to detect the puncture resistance of gloves in advance Jinan Languang med-01 medical packaging performance tester is a professional instrument for testing the mechanical properties of various medical packaging materials The instrument has super-high accuracy (better than 0.5 Level) ensures the accuracy of the test There are 16 independent test procedures, a variety of force value sensors and two-way test mode of tension and compression built in, which can meet the user's various test needs, including the test requirements of the puncture force of medical gloves The test principle is to clamp the sample between two collets of the fixture, and the two collets do relative movement Through the force value sensor on the dynamic collet and the displacement sensor built in the machine, the change of force value and displacement in the test process are collected, so as to calculate various mechanical performance indexes of the sample In this paper, three kinds of medical gloves were selected to test the puncture force During the test, select the finger tips, palms and other parts that are prone to perforation and damage, cut a 1.5 × 1.5 cm sample, and install the sample in the puncture fixture placed on the instrument base Install 6 injection needles on the upper moving shaft of the instrument Click "start test", the instrument starts to test, and records the Zui force value during the puncture process The whole test process is easy to operate and highly automated Through the test, the puncture performance test results of the three gloves are as follows: sample No 1 × 2 × 3 × puncture force (n) 1.682.150.39 from the test results, it can be seen that the puncture resistance of the two gloves is better, while the puncture resistance of the three gloves is poor, and it is extremely easy to have perforation damage when encountering sharp objects such as Kirschner wire, ligation wire, etc In order to prevent this risk, many medical staff choose to wear double gloves to resist the perforation and fracture of gloves According to research statistics, the perforation rate of inner gloves is only about 10% of that of single gloves However, after wearing double gloves, the flexibility and sensitivity of fingers decreased significantly, which affected the operation to a certain extent, and artificially increased the risk of operation Therefore, Zui is still the fundamental method to strictly monitor the quality of medical gloves before use, to ensure that the puncture force can reach a certain strength, to reduce the perforation and damage of clinical Chinese medicine gloves, and to reduce the risk of clinical cross infection between doctors and patients The main function of medical gloves is isolation, and the purpose is to prevent cross infection It plays an important role in hospital clinical practice and has become a necessary protective tool for medical staff However, in the actual use process, the physical properties of some medical gloves are poor, leading to a sharp increase in the occupational risk of medical staff Therefore, hospitals should try to purchase medical gloves produced by regular manufacturers and monitor their puncture resistance At the same time of ensuring the quality of medical gloves, medical staff should change the gloves in time according to the actual use After statistical study on the damage of gloves used by medical staff, it was found that the damage rate of gloves increased significantly after continuous use of gloves for 4 hours, and it was hidden, so gloves should be replaced in time Some operation types, such as open surgery, the exudate, grease, bile, pancreatic juice and so on, will corrode the gloves, resulting in accelerated aging and performance degradation of the gloves, so we should timely check and replace the medical gloves according to the actual situation Labthink Languang specializes in providing industry consulting, product sales, after-sales service and risk control solutions for customers in the fields of
