1.Tensile Strength? - The FDA requires surgical gloves to have tensile strength of at least 24 MPa (before aging). The tensile strength of the glove indicates the amount of force the glove can take before breaking. The higher the tensile strength, the stronger the surgical glove is.

2.Elongation? - The FDA requires surgical gloves to have elongation of at least 750% (before aging). The elongation measurement indicates how far the glove can stretch before breaking. 750% elongation means the surgical glove material must be able to stretch 7.5 times from its original form. The higher the elongation measurement, the higher quality the surgical glove is.

FDA Requirements - ASTM Standards
Tensile Strength (before aging)	24 MPa
Tensile Strength (after aging)	18 MPa
Elongation (before aging)	750%
