Benefits of technology

The present invention is a puncture resistant animal handling glove that is designed to protect against animal bites and scratches while also being flexible and comfortable to wear. The glove includes a gauntlet made of puncture resistant material, a dorsal hand portion, a palm portion, a thumb portion, and a plurality of finger portions. The different materials are securely attached together to form a single unit, with the palm portion, thumb portion, and finger portions further reinforced with flexible gripping material on the inside. The glove is made from a high-puncture resistant material that provides superior protection against animal bites and scratches.

Problems solved by technology

Animal bites and scratches are a daily risk for veterinarians and their staff as well as anyone otherwise involved in animal handling.
Animal bites and scratches transmit disease and carry increased risk of infection.
As a result, the gloves are heavy and bulky and highly inflexible, which makes it easy for a struggling animal to get free of a handler wearing such a glove, because the wearer is unable to grip the animal.
As such, many workers are reluctant to wear the gloves that are available because they are ineffective, thus increasing the risk of injury.
