Hand protection type
Biological protection
Many professions, due to the handling operations involved, expose thousands of people every day to the risk of biological contamination. In the manufacturing sector, 1 employee in 10 is exposed to pathogenic biological agents. Blood Exposure Accidents (BEA) demonstrate the risk which exists in a wide range of business sectors, of biological contamination via the skin or mucus.
Fully aware of this issue, Mapa Professionnel decided to research a new solution for managing this biological risk, beginning with a major challenge: to develop a product that retains the ergonomics of a thin glove (dexterity) with active reduction of the viral load transmitted in the event of a percutaneous accident. The Mapa Professionnel innovation, the BioPro glove, is designed to reduce the gravity of a Blood Exposure Accident.
BioPro: proven reduction of the risks of viral contamination
The BioPro glove is made from three layers with the central section containing a liquid disinfectant, dispersed in the form of microdroplets which is concentrated at the point of impact and expelled onto the penetrating object in the event of perforation.
The viral load transmitted during a percutaneous accident is instantly reduced due to the flash effect of the disinfectant.
These results were confirmed by experiments in vivo and in vitro on virus models of Hepatitis C and HIV, and were published in the ?Journal of Medical Virology? review in 2003. The results demonstrated a significant reduction of at least 80% in the number of virions transferred by needle prick compared to a glove of equivalent thickness without a disinfectant.
The BioPro glove is effective against envelope viruses, and in particular: Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, HIV, Herpes.
