Protective device used when handling toxic,
radioactive, or sterile materials within an
enclosure containing a window for viewing.
Gloves fixed to ports in the walls of a box
allow manipulation of objects within the box.
The risk that the operator might inhale fine
airborne particles of poisonous materials is
removed by maintaining a vacuum inside the
box, so that any airflow is inwards.
