Ten year evaluation (1985-1994) of single use gloves at the United Dental Hospital of Sydney

Since 1984-85 the United Dental Hospital has been invited by various companies to trial new gloves for dental practice. Subsequently, an evaluation form was developed to assess the product for our own requirements. The gloves were required to meet Australian Standards. In 1992, the Australian Standards AS4011 was published, the criteria included packaging, labelling, date of manufacture and batch number.
