1. The Biogel PI Indicator System from Molnlycke
Health Care
Pinhole-sized punctures in
gloves can be almost
invisible. This product
warns you when your
gloves have been compro-
mised and you may be in
danger of infection. When
the overglove is punc-
tured, fluid flows between
the underglove and the
overglove, and a dark
patch appears. The com-
pany says surgeons who used the system spotted 97% of punctures
that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.
