Medical gloves for single use - Part 2: Requirements and testing for physical properties


EN 455-2 establishes requirements and testing procedures for evaluating the physical properties of single-use medical gloves, focusing on tensile strength, elongation at break, and elastic recovery. The standard applies to gloves manufactured from natural rubber latex, synthetic latex, and elastomeric materials intended for healthcare and hospital applications. Testing involves controlled extension of glove material until rupture, measuring the force required and deformation achieved to ensure the mechanical integrity and reliability of the medical device during clinical use.
