Abstract
A glove is provided that contains a low adhesion layer to minimize the difficulties that can be associated with handling pressure sensitive adhesive containing products, such as pressure sensitive medical tapes, while wearing the glove.
Claims22
A medical glove comprising:
- a glove with a glove body with inside and outside surfaces, a low-adhesion layer positioned on at least a portion of the outside surface of said glove body, said low-adhesion layer having a glove body facing surface and an outwardly facing exterior surface, and wherein the outwardly facing exterior surface of said low-adhesion layer further comprises a low-adhesion exterior surface to which the peel force of standard medical tapes is less than about 4 Newtons.
A medical glove comprising:
- a glove adapted to handle pressure sensitive adhesive coated products comprising a glove with a glove body with inside and outside surfaces, a low-adhesion layer positioned on at least a portion of the outside surface of said glove body, said low-adhesion layer having a glove body facing surface and an outwardly facing exterior surface, and wherein said outwardly facing exterior surface of said low-adhesion layer further comprises a low-adhesion exterior surface, and wherein said low-adhesion layer is present in at least the areas of the outside surface of said glove body likely to come into contact with the pressure sensitive adhesive of medical tapes when handling such tapes, and wherein the peel force of the medical tapes to the exterior surface of the glove in the areas containing this low-adhesion layer is less than about 70% of what the force would be to the glove body absent said low adhesion layer.
A medical glove comprising:
- a glove with a low-adhesion exterior surface adapted to contact and be removed from the adhesive surface of a pressure sensitive adhesive tape wherein the subsequent peel value of the contacted area of the adhesive tape is greater than about 75 percent of that of the non-contacted areas of the tape.
A method of producing a glove with a low-adhesion layer on the outside surface comprising the steps of
- (a) providing a glove with inside and outside surfaces;
- (b) providing a solution of a cross-linkable low-adhesion material;
- (c) applying the solution of the low-adhesion material onto the outside surface of the glove such that only the exterior surface of the glove is exposed to the solution;
- (d) drying the glove to remove the solvent from the solution;
- and
- (e) cross-linking the low-adhesion material.

A method of producing a glove with a low-adhesion layer on the outside surface comprising the steps of:
- (f) providing a glove with inside and outside surfaces;
- (g) providing a solution of a low-adhesion material;
- (h) dipping the glove into the solution of the low-adhesion material such that at least a portion of the outside surface of the glove is contacted by the solution;
- (i) removing the glove from the solution;
- and
- (j) drying the glove.
