The device is used mainly as a two-way barrier to protect patient/staff against contaminants and risk of allergy to latex. It will have appropriate characteristics regarding tactility/comfort of use, and should provide appropriate physical properties (e.g., strength, elasticity), and uniformity of dimensions. This is a single-use device.
