This project focuses on developing puncture-resistant medical gloves made from polymer-ceramic composites, enhancing safety for healthcare professionals. The gloves aim to maintain tactile sensitivity while providing protection against needlestick injuries.
Accidently, needlesticks and syringes puncture gloves and injure the skin.
Millions of cases are counted in European health care and worldwide, each year.
When perforated, medical gloves loose it's barrier function.
Health care professionals are no longer protected from body fluids, potentially carrying blood-borne diseases including hepatitis B/C and HIV.
Studies estimate the economic costs due to needlestick injuries to amount to more than 1 bn. € per year.
Polymer-ceramic composites can reinf…
