ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for detecting adulteration or a condition of near-adulteration of a glove used in critical use application such as in surgery where the gloves are worn by the surgeon and are exposed to the body fluids of a patient. The apparatus and method includes the detection not only of a particular level of conductivity which may be caused by a hole or thin spot in the glove but also the detection of a sudden change in conductivity which may be caused by a sudden change in the condition of the glove, such as the opening of a hole or a sudden thinning of the glove. In this manner, the apparatus and method provides detection not only for an actual condition of the glove but also for a change in condition of the glove. In addition, the circuit is a low impedance circuit, which automatically and continuously discharge static charge build-up on the surgeon.
