BIOPRO®: Active Protection in Hazardous Situations
There are many professions requiring thousands of staff to perform handling operations which expose them to the daily risk of biological contamination in the event of a Blood Exposure Accident (BEA). A BEA is defined as being "any percutaneous exposure (needleprick, cut etc.) or contact of damaged skin or mucous with blood or a biological liquid tainted with blood.- Triple-layer structure ensures the disinfectant is delivered to the point of penetration.
- Effective against envelope viruses, particularly Hepatitis B, C, AIDS and Herpes.
- Tests show a reduction of almost 80% in the number of virions transferred by needleprick compared to a glove of equivalent thickness without a disinfectant.
- More information can be found in this brochure.

BioPro® gloves, the construction:
- The outer layer is made from thermoplastic elastomer. It protects the intermediary layer containing the disinfectant. It contains no natural latex nor vulcanisation agents.
- The intermediary layer contains 5 to 10 grams of the disinfectant, evenly spread throughout the thickness of the layer. This solution is dispersed in the form of micro-drops (around 300 million per glove).
- The inner layer is made from thermoplastic elastomer. It protects the intermediary layer containing the disinfectant and facilitates donning and doffing (microrelief coating). It contains no natural latex nor vulcanisation agents.
