Abstract
Portable and disposable apparatus for leak testing surgical and/or examination gloves which may be worn on the body of the user to permit convenient detection of glove leaks during diagnostic procedures. In one embodiment there is provided an electrolyte-containing pouch worn on the body of the user and into which gloved hands may be inserted for evaluation. A leak in a glove permits the electrolyte to penetrate the glove and contact the skin of the wearer to close an electrical circuit and trigger an alarm.
