A safety applicator glove system and method is disclosed that is particularly suitable for use in situations where insect repellent and the like must be applied to human skin without contaminating the hands of the person applying the insect repellent. The basic system disclosed includes a glove or mitten with an absorbent outer surface and an internal barrier lining to prevent penetration of liquid on the outer surface of the glove with the person's hand that has been inserted into the glove/mitten. Attached to the glove/mitten proximally to the hand entry point is a protective sleeve/gauntlet that may be extended over the surface of the glove and sealed to act as a containment vessel for the liquid-soaked glove. When retracted, this protective sleeve/gauntlet serves to prevent contamination of the person making use of the glove/mitten system. Various embodiments of the present invention may also be applied with advantage to the control of contamination associated with biohazardous waste, including but not limited to use with surgical gloves and the like.

A surgical glove and method for making same is disclosed comprised of a polymeric matrix with at least one compact layer of very small particulate characterized by a very high hardness disposed therein. The disclosed glove and method is cost effective, easily adapted to present manufacturing methods, and provides a surgical glove which demonstrates a high resistance to cuts and punctures while maintaining a high level of elasticity and touch. The proposed particulate is one of a series of powders such as silicon carbide, carborundum, or diamond dust having a mean particle size of between 1-85 microns and a preferred particle size of between 5-8 microns, which can be applied to a curing elastic glove via spray or pre-mixing the particulate in the molten polymeric matrix prior to forming. The estimated thickness of the finished glove is approximately 2-7 millimeters, although greater thicknesses can be achieved by repeated processing at a cost of superior tactility but without loss of elasticity. More protection can be achieved by generating multiple layers of particulate sandwiched between layers of the polymer matrix.
