Get instant, on-demand decontamination anywhere you go with MIRA Safety® MDG-1® Personal CBRN Decontamination Gloves. These decontamination gloves were originally developed for the Serbian military, where exposure to chemical threats like Sarin or VX are a daily threat.
Using a nontoxic formulation that immediately contains or neutralizes a wide range of CBRN threats, our decontamination gloves are lightweight, easy to deploy, and ideal for instantly minimizing exposure. Designed for rapid, field-expedient decontamination, these lightweight gloves help quickly reduce exposure to chemical threats. Simply rub exposed areas for fast action against a wide range of hazards, including nerve and blister agents such as VX and sulfur mustard.
Based on a design developed and deployed by the Serbian military, the MDG-1® Personal CBRN Decontamination Glove is a simple, practical solution for unexpected exposure to toxic chemicals and other CBRN threats.
The MDG-1® uses a dry, nontoxic, and noncorrosive montmorillonite-based compound that yields an ultra-fine powder with massive amounts of surface area (particles are as small as 63 microns). Much like the activated carbon in a gas mask filter, this huge surface area allows for the adsorption of toxic threats—effectively lifting them from the affected area before brushing them away seconds later.Â
Proven through years of testing to deliver effective decontamination against common threats (from liquid to particulates and gas, even some of the most corrosive agents), MDG-1® Personal Contamination Gloves don’t require the same precision or experience as traditional decontamination efforts. They’re ideal for use in the field (without even needing to remove your gas mask).
Everyday exposure to dangerous toxins can happen in a wide variety of places, from public transport to government facilities, laboratories, factories, healthcare facilities, police/fire or other emergency response professions, and anywhere else hazardous chemicals are present.
When minutes or even seconds matter, having a decontamination plan—and especially a tool like the MDG-1® Personal CBRN Decontamination Glove—can realistically save lives.
Guidelines recommend carrying at least two MDG-1® packages for each member of your party, depending on anticipated exposure. The glove can be used for 5-10 minutes before the embedded powder has reached its capacity.
