Definitions

  • the present invention relates to disposable surgical gloves, and more particularly it relates to a supported elastomeric surgical glove with liner. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Surgical gloves normally worn by practitioners during medical or surgical procedures are designed to be protective to prevent the transfer of pathogenic organisms or toxic materials to or from a patient, yet at the same time they have to be sufficiently thin walled in order to provide the wearer with an acceptable sense of touch and permits dexterous movement of the hands and fingers besides being comfortable to wear.
  • these gloves besides being puncture resistant are normally liquid- impermeable to provide a barrier between the wearer and the environment in which the gloves are used.
  • these desired characteristics of elastomeric gloves create a harsh environment for the wearer's skin. For example, perspiration is a common problem for glove wearers, and the resulting moist environment may lead to various skin problems, including, for example, growth of fungi and yeast, as well as bacterial and viral infections of the skin.
  • those who utilize elastomeric gloves in the medical field frequently clean their hands with soap or sanitary alcohol formulations. This constant cleaning is harsh on the skin, causing excessive skin dryness that may exacerbate other skin conditions.
  • the solution is to provide for a two component system consisting of a moisture permeable inner liner and an outer protective glove, which permits passage of sweat vapour in one direction while preventing liquid from returning in the opposite direction by providing an inner layer that is permeable to vapour but not to liquid and thereby transfers moisture to an absorptive outer layer, wherein the liner may effectively remove moisture from the skin.
  • the outer layer may be bulky and become heavy with collected moisture, making it very unsuitable for the purpose of surgical use.
  • the fabric liner may not be properly laminated over the latex glove which is more likely to cause the formation of creases between the laminated layer of polymeric shell and the liner.
  • the inner liner provides stretch resistance and stiffness which is both unfavorable & atypical to that of a surgical glove, besides limiting the total stretchability of the latex gloves which is essential in surgical gloves.
  • such method does not ensure a liquid- proof barrier that is of paramount importance to a surgical glove due to thin or weak areas or pinholes resulting from poor physical integrity of a thin polymeric shell with protruding fibers of the liner.
  • Still another disadvantage of such earlier attempt is the use of ceramic formers which are easily broken or cracked, adding cost to manufacturing.
  • Yet still another disadvantage is the consumption of energy in the curing of gloves whereby more energy is required to heat-up the ceramic former which is almost 98% of the substrate to be heated up as compared to the core essential of only 2% attributed to latex gloves.
  • the present invention is directed towards an improved disposable surgical glove that meets the requirements of providing adequate protection to the wearer, without sacrificing the dexterity, strength, characteristics, feel and comfort of his hands and fingers.
  • a disposable surgical glove comprising a first thin elastomeric layer; and a second layer to be nearer to the hand than the first layer having a securely bonded, or laminated fabric liner, preferably lint free, continuous, filament nylon yarn, to be in contact with a hand, when glove is worn.
  • the second layer is configured to absorb, when the glove is worn, excess perspiration or moisture of the skin, thereby maintaining a less moist environment than normally occurring with normal disposable gloves.
  • Both layers are held by a coagulant and thereafter bonded by an adhesive such that the elastomeric glove and fabric liner may be stretched to whatever extent, without affecting its lamination.
  • the second layer is thus particularly designed to ease and facilitate the donning and doffing of surgical glove liners.
  • a poorly donnable glove may take some time to be worn and adjusted to fit the hand. This is especially the case when a surgeon has to compromise with the time spent and wasted in an attempt to wear a
  • the primary advantage of this present invention is the sweat management of the surgeon's hands. Moist and perspirations can be effectively absorbed into the fabric liner. For example, a surgeon may continuously wear gloves during a surgical procedure for up to 40 minutes or more during which frequent changing of glove takes place due to sweaty palms. This hampers a surgeon's focus and concentration besides wasting precious time in saving a life.
  • the unit is then thereafter re-inflated with air to expand fully and to blow up the said glove with the liner intact, It is then further submerged into a tank of adhesive chemical to help evenly bond the parts together in such a way so that the supported glove may be able to be stretched unlimitedly, to whatever extent, without affecting its lamination, when it is then finally allowed to dry either by itself or with the aid of an oven.
  • FIGURE 1 shows the rubber former being fully inflated with air and fitted with the inverted thin- walled elastomeric glove of the present invention.
  • FIGURE 2 shows the rubber former fully inflated with air and fitted with the inverted thin-walled elastomeric glove together with the fabric liner on top of the elastomeric glove of the present invention.
  • FIGURE 3 shows the completed supported surgical glove with the laminated fabric liner.
  • a thin walled elastomeric glove (1) is first inverted and fitted over a skeletal former (2), preferably made of thicker rubber, which can be inflated with air to fully expand said elastomeric glove (1).
  • the entire unit is then fully dipped into a solution of coagulant comprising preferably ethanol and thereafter the entire unit is lifted up to blow dry.
  • the air inside the rubber former (2) is then sufficiently released, in order to collapse the elastomeric glove (1) to allow a knitted fabric liner (3), preferably made from lint free, continuous, filament nylon yarn of between 15 - 18 gauge to be then easily fitted over the inverted elastomeric glove (1).
  • FIGURE 3 which is a disposable surgical glove comprising :-
  • a first thin elastomeric layer (1) (a) a first thin elastomeric layer (1); and (b) a second layer (3) to be nearer to the hand than the first layer (1) having a securely bonded, or laminated fabric liner (3), to be in contact with a hand, when the glove is worn, so that the second layer (3) is configured to absorb, when the glove is worn, excess perspiration or moisture of the skin, thereby maintaining a less moist environment than normally occurring with normal disposable gloves, wherein both layers (1) (3) are held evenly together by a coagulant and bonded by a adhesive chemical, such that the elastomeric glove (1) and fabric liner (3) may be stretched to whatever extent, without affecting its lamination, is allowed to dry either by itself or with the aid of an oven to speed up the drying process.
