Absolutely not! The stylus used in the EN388 puncture test looks like a big nail. Hypodermic needles are totally different and penetrate material in a different way. The best way of looking at the EN388 puncture test is as a material burst strength test. Polyco offers a range of specialist puncture (syringe) resistant gloves.
