Glove arrangement for a barrier system

A glove arrangement for mounting to a barrier wall of a barrier system defining a work process area, said glove arrangement comprising a sleeve arrangement, the sleeve arrangement comprising:

• a first sleeve for mounting around an aperture through the barrier wall and comprising a first internal surface;
• a second sleeve for mounting a glove thereto and comprising a second internal surface;
• and
• an intermediate sleeve comprising an intermediate internal surface, an outer perimeter attached to the first sleeve and an inner perimeter attached to the second sleeve, the outer perimeter having a greater diameter than the inner perimeter,
• wherein the sleeve arrangement is configured to be movable between:
• an extended configuration in which the second sleeve extends from the first and intermediate sleeves for use during manipulation of the glove by an operator and the first, second and intermediate internal surfaces are exposed to the environment in the work process area;
• and
• a retracted configuration in which:
• the second sleeve is positioned at least partially inside the first sleeve about the intermediate sleeve such that the first and second internal surfaces at least partially face each other;
• and
• the intermediate sleeve separates the intermediate internal surface from itself and from the first and second internal surfaces to form a cavity between the first, second and intermediate internal surfaces with the intermediate internal surface facing the cavity;
• and
• wherein the intermediate sleeve is resiliently biased, or is rigid, to maintain the separation of the intermediate internal surface from itself and from the first and second internal surfaces when the sleeve arrangement is in the retracted configuration without an external support contacting the surface of the intermediate sleeve.
