Benefits of technology

[0011] A further object of the present invention is to provide a glove that is relatively easy to don.

Problems solved by technology

Due to the non-porous and close fitting nature of these gloves, wearing them for long periods of time frequently results in sweating of the hands.
This loss of moisture is not conducive to good hand skin health.
Furthermore, since medical and industrial laboratory personnel are frequently washing their hands, hands can often become dry, chapped, cracked, red and / or irritated.
The patent specifically discussed the disadvantages derived from using oil-based substances for the coating material.

Preparation of an Alternate Coating Formulations

[0051] The coating formulation of Example 1 is prepared using the same ingredients in the same proportions. However, the following polymers or elastomers are substituted for the Witco 506 polyurethane at equal parts.

[0052] The coating is applied to the glove by tumbling. The coating is dried onto the glove in a tumbling dryer and forms an elastic film. This film has sufficient hardness to produce a coefficient of friction of less than 0.5 when measured kinetically on a bisque glass substrate.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a disposable glove. The glove comprises a polymeric material having an inside surface for contacting the skin of a wearer. The glove further comprises a coating formed on the inside surface thereof. This coating comprises a film-forming compound and an oil-based emollient. A method of making the glove is also disclosed.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is directed to disposable gloves. More particularly, the present invention is directed to disposable gloves that have a coating on the inner surface of the glove that facilitates donning of the glove and also provides protective, soothing and healing ingredients for skin. A method of making the gloves is also disclosed. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Disposable gloves are frequently worn for extended periods of time by medical and industrial personnel. Due to the non-porous and close fitting nature of these gloves, wearing them for long periods of time frequently results in sweating of the hands. Gloves containing powders or other polymeric donning coatings tend to further dry the hands by wicking moisture away from the hands. This loss of moisture is not conducive to good hand skin health. Furthermore, since medical and industrial laboratory personnel are frequently washing their hands, hands can often become dry, chapped, cra...
