Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A dual-finished rubber surgeons glove having an external surface that is nonadherent to antifriction powders and an adherent powdered inside surface. Sufficient dust or powder is present on the inside to facilitate donning, while the absence of dust on the outside minimizes the possibility of introducing dust particles into surgical openings and causing infections or post operative adhesions.
  • This invention relates generally to rubber articles and methods of making them. More specifically, it relates to rubber surgeons gloves having inside surface characteristics different from the outside, such distinguishing characteristics being imparted to the glove by a novel method of manufacture.
  • a still further object of the invention is the provision in the manufacturing of surgeons gloves for introducing lubricating powders to one surface of the glove only.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a surgeons glove as initially shaped on a form therefor;
  • F IG. 2 is another schematic view showing the surgeons glove being stripped from a form
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the stripped surgeons glove showing a cuffed portion to expose the interior surface.
  • surgeons gloves are formed by first dipping the hand-shaped form in a coagulant for natural rubber latex and then dipping the form in a rubber latex solution for a time sufficient to form a glove ll of the desired thickness thereon.
  • various treatments such as leaching of the gloves may be conducted and then the gloves are allowed to dry.
  • the gloves are, according to the invention, halogenated to change the surface characteristics sufficiently so that lubricating dust will not adhere to the surface. Due to the deleterious effects that over-halogenation can have upon rubber articles, the step must be rather precisely controlled to halogenate the natural surface only to the extent that is necessary to produce a surface to which lubricating powders will not adhere. This is done according to the preferred method of the invention by introducing the glove on the form into a halogen containing solution. In this manner, the amount of halogenation of the surface of the formed rubber glove can be accurately controlled by the length of the dip time and the concentration of halogenating constituents.
  • the preferred halogenating constituents are those selected from the group consisting of chlorine and bromine and when employing a 30 second dip time LOGO-2,000 p.p.m. of these constituents may be used successfully.
  • the preferred halogen concentration range is 1,600-1 ,800 p.p.m.
  • the glove can be rinsed if necessary to remove excess materials and then dried.
  • a lubricating or dusting powder 12 is applied to the glove 11.
  • the common dusting powder used is a sterilizable corn starch of the type that is biologically absorbable and suitable for the purpose of lubricating surgeons gloves.
  • the glove is stripped, it is turned outside in.
  • the glove is reversed to its normal position and tumbled to remove the lubricating powder from the outside thereof.
  • the resulting article is a surgeons glove as shown in FIG. 3 with a dusted inside surface 13 and a substantially dust free outside surface. What little dusting powder remains can be readily removed by rinsing in a sterile saline, water or alcohol solution as often are prescribed for preoperative procedures.
  • the mixture had the following composition:
  • the gloves were permitted to dry. Then they were dusted and stripped, tumbled to remove excess dust and then turned right side out. The gloves were tumbled again in the presence of an air jet to remove excess dust from the outside surfaces. Inspection indicated that the inside of the glove had sufficient lubricating powder adhering thereto to facilitate donning, while the exterior surface of the glove was substantially free of dusting particles.
  • the gloves treated in accordance with the above procedure were found to have between 0.002 and 0.008 gram of dust on the outside and between 0.050 and 0.150 gram on the inside.
  • Comparable gloves which were not treated in the chlorine containing solution were found to have between 0.1 to 0.15 gram on the outside and between 0.13 and 0.2 gram on the inside.
  • a latex surgeons glove comprising an interior powderholding surface and an exterior powder-rejecting surface, said exterior surface having been halogenated with a halogen selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine until said surface became powder rejecting, said halogenation having been terminated before said exterior surface became slippery.
  • a latex surgeons glove comprising an interior surface and an exterior surface, said interior surface being coated with from about 0.050 to about 0150 gram of lubricating powder, said exterior surface holding less than about 0.050 gram of lubricating power, said exterior surface having been halogenated with a halogen selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine until said exterior surface became powder rejecting, said halogenation having been terminated near the percentage of halogenation which caused said exterior surface to become powder rejecting.
  • a rubber glove having the external surfaces thereof treated with elemental halogen so as to exhibit tackless relatively smooth slip resistant characteristics such that the amount of a powdered lubricant retained thereon is below about 0.050 gram and also having an untreated internal surface upon which is retained a sufficient quantity of powdered lubricant to facilitate easy donning of said glove.
