Claims20
A surgical glove, the surgical glove having one or more of the following portions formed as follows:
- (a) a portion corresponding to the MCP joint of the index finger is formed at a flexed angle of 10°-45°, (b) a portion corresponding to the MCP joint of the middle finger is formed at a flexed angle of 10°-45°, (c) a portion corresponding to the MCP joint of the ring finger is formed at a flexed angle of 15°-50°, and (d) a portion corresponding to the MCP of the little finger is formed at a flexed angle of 20°-55°.
A surgical glove having one or more of the following portions formed as follows:
- a portion corresponding to the MCP joint of the index finger is formed at a flexed angle of 10°-45°, (b) a portion corresponding to the MCP joint of the middle finger is formed at a flexed angle of 10°-45°, (c) a portion corresponding to the MCP joint of the ring finger is formed at a flexed angle of 15°-50°, and (d) a portion corresponding to the MCP of the little finger is formed at a flexed angle of 20°-55°;
- and
- one or more of the following portions is formed as follows:
- (d) a portion corresponding to the PIP joint of the index finger is formed at a 5-25° flexed angle, (e) a portion corresponding to the PIP joint of the middle finger is formed at a 5-25° flexed angle, (f) a portion corresponding to the PIP joint of the ring finger is formed at a 10-35° flexed angle, and (g) a PIP joint of the little finger is formed at a 15-40° flexed angle,
- wherein the surgical glove comprises an outer surface and an inner surface, and a pattern on at least part of one or more of the outer surface and the inner surface, the pattern for reducing biasing forces when the hand or fingers are moved towards the closed position.
