Benefits of technology

[0019] The present invention is to provide a novel approach to produce a type of multilayered glove with enhanced barrier protection. The layers can be made of different materials to incorporate desired barrier properties such as oil or chemical resistance to a glove. Dipping a coagulant over the outer layer surface is directed toward eliminating hole defect. Making color differences in layers shows color contrast, and adding pigments between these layers crea

Embodiment Construction

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the present invention relates to a type of multilayered medical glove 4, comprising an outer layer 11, an inner layer 13, and a sandwich layer 12 between the outer layer 11 and the inner layer 13. The outer layer has the longest length than all the other layers. The sandwich layer is the shortest. The inner layer is longer than the sandwich layer but shorter than the outer layer.

[0028] Surgical gloves and examination gloves have different thickness requirements. Surgical glove thickness of the foregoing outer layer 11 and inner layer 13 is preferably 0.05 mm or more respectively in compliance with the regulations of ASTM D 3577 to achieve a minimum glove thickness of 0.10 mm. The sandwich layer 12 is designed to cover most portions of the inner layer from the finger tip to the wrist. The thickness is less than 0.01 mm. Examination glove thickness of the foregoing outer layer 11 and inner layer 13 is preferably 0.04 mm or more respectively in compli...

Abstract

A type of multilayered glove consisting of an inner layer, an outer layer, and pigments between the layers is disclosed. The layers can be made of the same or different materials to incorporate desired barrier properties such as oil or chemical resistance to a glove. The layers can also be made of the same or different colors. The glove can have the same physical barrier protection as wearing two gloves, but without the discomfort of wearing two gloves. The glove enhances barrier protection and allows users to detect any breach of the outer layer during the surgical procedure, which enables the user to execute corrective actions before cross contamination occurs.
