Synthetic Blood Penetration Test

The Synthetic Blood Penetration Test is designed to determine the ability of protective clothing to act as a barrier to blood, body fluids and other potentially infectious materials. The Synthetic Blood Penetration Resistance Test method challenges the materials used in protective clothing with a fixed volume of synthetic blood directed at high velocity at the center of the material.

STEMart offers comprehensive synthetic blood penetration test in accordance with ASTM, EN and ISO standards for medical face mask and protective clothing such as gloves, arm shields, aprons, gowns, coveralls, hoods and boots.
