When I worked for the Queensland Department of Health I remember a Company
sending us a brochure on gloves which could be worn under surgical gloves. I
think that they were barium impregnated however I can't recall exactly what
they contained or their attenuation characteristics. If you like I could
contact the Health Department and obtain the details. If so, email me directly.
