Problems solved by technology

However, continuous use of such gloves may cause skin problems due to the continual exposure of the user's skin to antimicrobial agents
[0005] Applicant has observed that antimicrobial glove technologies currently on the market do not take into account the potentially harmful effects that repeated exposure to antimicrobial agents may have on the skin

[0267] Preparation of elastomeric articles

[0268] The elastomeric film-forming composition having the desired components is formed into the shape of the desired article and then cured. In a broad sense, curing refers to the stage in which crosslinking is performed. Such curing conditions are known in the art.

[0269]For dipped elastomeric articles, the elastomeric film is suitably prepared by a dipping process.

[0270] Briefly, in one embodiment of the invention, a method for making an elastomeric article may include:

[0271] - immersing the mold in the coagulant composition;

[0272] - dipping the mold impregnated with the coagulant into the first elastomeric film-forming composition to produce a first elastomeric film layer on the mold;

[0273] - incorporating an antimicrobial agent into the coagulant composition and / or the first elastomeric film forming composition to incorporate the antimicrobial agent into the first film layer defining the first surface of the e...

Embodiment 1

[0411] Example 1: Antimicrobial Agents in Elastomeric Film-Forming Compositions

[0412] Gloves were prepared with the compositions listed in Table 1 below using standard elastomeric film production processes known in the art.

[0413] Table 1 - Elastomeric film-forming composition for forming first (outer) latex layer and second (inner) latex layer

[0414]

[0415]

[0416] The stages of glove production include:

[0417] 1. Immerse the glove-like former in a coagulant containing 13% calcium nitrate, 1.5% metal stearate (potassium stearate and / or calcium stearate), 0.1% wetting agent ( non-ionic alcohol ethoxylate) and contains no antimicrobials or skin protectants, then dries.

[0418] 2. Dip the former into the first latex layer composition and then partially dry the layer to a gel state. The samples produced contained varying amounts of zinc pyrithione, including the control group (0phr) as well as Group 1 (1phr), Group 2 (2phr), Group 3 (3phr) and Group 4 (4ph...

Embodiment 2

[0438] Example 2: Antimicrobial Agents Incorporated into Coagulants

[0439] Gloves with a thickness of 0.08 mm + / - 0.02 mm were prepared using the same procedure and components as outlined in Example 1 (steps 1 to 8) with the following changes:

[0440] - The coagulant composition also contained 2-phenylphenol in an amount of 3% (by weight) - The coagulant preparation had the composition listed in Table 6 below. The control glove did not contain any 2-phenylphenol in the coagulant composition (ie, the composition of Table 6 where 2-phenylphenol was removed and the balance consisted of water).

[0441] - In both the gloves of Example 2 and the control, the first latex layer does not contain 2-phenylphenol.

[0442] Table 6 - Coagulant composition containing 2-phenylphenol

[0443] Element Percentage of Composition (%) Powder-free coagulants - metal stearates (potassium stearate and / or calcium stearate) 1.5 Wetting Agents - Alcohol Ethoxylates (Nonion...

Abstract

The present application relates to an elastomeric article, such as a glove, comprising: (i) an elastomeric film comprising one or more film layers and comprising an outer surface and an inner surface;(ii) an antimicrobial agent which is effective against both beneficial and harmful microorganisms and located on the outer surface of the elastomeric film; and (iii) a skin protectant selected from probiotics, prebiotics, or combinations thereof, located on the inner surface of the elastomeric film, wherein the inner surface of the film does not contain the antimicrobial agent which has an antimicrobial effective amount and is effective against both beneficial microorganisms and harmful microorganisms. The elastomeric article may further include a barrier film layer that isolates the antimicrobial agent and the skin protectant. Methods for making such articles are also described.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to elastomeric articles and methods for their production. The article may be of the type intended for contact with human skin. For example, the article may be in the form of a glove that has antimicrobial properties while also protecting the wearer's skin from exposure to the antimicrobial agent. Background technique [0002] Gloves, such as film gloves, are worn by people for extended periods of time in many industries, and gloves protect the wearer from potentially hazardous materials and fluids that they need to contact in the course of their activities. For example, in the medical industry, gloves are worn by healthcare professionals to reduce the risk of exposure to or transmission of pathogenic microorganisms. Gloves are made from films using relatively low cost elastomers, resulting in a low unit price product since frequent replacement of gloves is expected for a number of reasons including hygiene and comfort.
