Description

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. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do the MIRA Safety MDG-1 Personal CBRN Decontamination Gloves work?

The MIRA Safety MDG-1 gloves utilize a nontoxic montmorillonite-based compound to adsorb and neutralize CBRN threats. This ultra-fine powder binds to toxins on contact, allowing you to effectively lift and remove them from surfaces. The gloves are designed for rapid deployment over existing gloves, making them suitable for immediate response in hazardous environments. This technology is crucial for minimizing exposure to chemical threats in both civilian and military scenarios.

What scenarios are the MDG-1 gloves best suited for?

The MDG-1 gloves are ideal for environments where chemical threats are present, such as industrial sites, laboratories, and emergency response situations. They are particularly useful in scenarios where rapid decontamination is necessary, such as exposure to nerve agents like VX or caustic substances. The gloves can be an essential part of a bug out bag or emergency kit, especially for those in professions with high exposure risks.

How long can the MDG-1 gloves be used before replacement?

Each MDG-1 glove can be used for approximately 5-10 minutes before the powder reaches its adsorption capacity. After this period, the glove's effectiveness in decontaminating surfaces diminishes, and it should be safely disposed of according to local hazardous waste guidelines. It's recommended to carry multiple gloves for extended operations or multiple exposures.

What is the shelf life of the MDG-1 gloves?

The MDG-1 gloves have a shelf life of up to five years when stored in their original packaging. They should be kept in a dark, dry place with temperatures between 41°F and 77°F and relative humidity below 75%. Proper storage ensures the gloves maintain their decontamination efficiency over time.

How should the MDG-1 gloves be disposed of after use?

After use, the MDG-1 gloves will be contaminated with any absorbed toxins and should be disposed of as hazardous waste. Consult local authorities or organizational guidelines for proper disposal methods to prevent environmental contamination. Safe disposal is crucial to ensure that the toxins do not pose a further threat.

Can the MDG-1 gloves be used with other protective gear?

Yes, the MDG-1 gloves are designed to be worn over existing protective gloves, such as butyl gloves, for enhanced safety. This allows for seamless integration with full protective gear setups, including gas masks and hazmat suits. For more comprehensive protection, consider exploring our Gas Masks collection and related NBC protection gear.

What are the limitations of the MDG-1 gloves?

While effective, the MDG-1 gloves are designed for rapid, temporary decontamination and are not a substitute for full decontamination procedures. They are best used as an immediate response tool to minimize exposure until more comprehensive measures can be taken. Users should be aware of the glove's capacity limits and the need for proper disposal after use.

How do the MDG-1 gloves fit into a comprehensive emergency preparedness plan?

The MDG-1 gloves are a critical component of any emergency preparedness plan, especially for those at risk of chemical exposure. They provide a portable, quick-response option for decontamination, complementing other protective gear and emergency supplies. For a well-rounded approach, consider integrating these gloves with a comprehensive emergency kit. More insights can be found in our guide on emergency preparedness kits.

What makes the MDG-1 gloves different from traditional decontamination methods?

The MDG-1 gloves offer a simplified, user-friendly approach to decontamination compared to traditional methods. They do not require precision or extensive training to use effectively, making them accessible for non-specialists in emergency situations. This ease of use is particularly valuable in high-stress environments where quick action is necessary.

Are the MDG-1 gloves suitable for everyday carry (EDC)?

Yes, the compact design of the MDG-1 gloves makes them suitable for inclusion in an everyday carry (EDC) kit. Weighing only 5.3 oz and packaged to the size of a smartphone, they can be easily stored in a bag or vehicle for quick access.
