A simulation study to assess fluid leakage through the glove-gown interface in isolation settings

•The glove-gown interface is one of the most vulnerable areas of the PPE ensemble.•Current standards do not consider the interface regions of the PPE system.•Leakage through the glove-gown interface depends on multiple design factors.•There is a need to develop a method to evaluate leakage at glove-...
