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. Just rub the exposed area for proven 90% decontamination efficiency against common threats, including everything from VX to caustic mustard gas. MDG-1 CBRN Decontamination Glove Key Features: Fingerless fabric glove for rapid, single-use emergency decontamination Slides on over existing gloves for rapid deployment Uses Velcro fixture to secure over your palm Rub exposed skin, equipment, or accessories for up to 90% decontamination efficiency in minutes Uses nontoxic, noncorrosive, nonflammable, ultra-fine (as small as 63 microns) powder/clay compound to adsorb and wipe away toxins Hazards are chemically bound to the surface of the montmorillonite powder, minimizing off-gassing and further spread Decontaminates a surface area of up to 1 meter per glove Based on a design developed and deployed by the Serbian Armed Forces Ultra-compact, smartphone-sized package is waterproof, easy to store, and deploys in seconds Weighs in at 5.3 oz, making it a perfect addition to a bug out bag or EDC Kit Lasts up to five years in storage Technical Specifications 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. 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. Dimensions 170mm x 120mm x 35mm Total Mass in Package ~150 grams Clay Mass ~100 grams Operating Temp.

Stored in the original packaging, MDG-1 Personal CBRN Decontamination Gloves have a 5-year shelf life. IMPORTANT NOTES: Once used, the glove and powder will be contaminated with any toxins or CBRN threats to which they’ve been exposed. Safe disposal of hazardous materials is crucial. Consult your local authority or your organization for guidelines on the disposal of hazardous materials. Each unit comes with one MDG-1 CBRN Decontamination Glove. Butyl gloves (as pictured being worn underneath the MDG-1), are not included and are essential to using this product with live agents.
