ABSTRACT:
An insert for surgical glove has a flexible, generally planar member which includes material that attenuates x-rays or other ionizing radiation. The insert can be attached to a medical practitioner's hand to protect the medical practitioner against undesirable radiation during the performance of medical procedures without limiting the dexterity or tactile sensitivity of the fingers. The low profile of the planar member allows a surgical glove to be worn over the insert to maintain a sterile environment during medical procedures. The radiation-inhibiting material may include a plurality of lead-vinyl sheets held in a sheath. The sheath is removably insertable into a cloth pocket to form the flexible planar member. The member is attached to the medical practitioner's hand by using an adjustable strap.
