ABSTRACT:
A thin-walled latex dental glove and a method of manufacturing the dental glove are disclosed. The method includes providing a mold for the dental glove, covering at least a portion of the mold with liquid uncured latex material, at least partially curing the latex material to form a glove body, and removing the glove body from the mold. The glove body is then covered with a liquid slurry containing a dusting powder and an adhesive agent and a flavor agent to wet both the interior and the exterior of the glove body with the slurry. The wetted glove body is then tumble dried at an elevated temperature to simultaneously further cure the latex and dry the water from the slurry. The dried slurry forms a substantially uniform coating substantially fully covering both the interior and exterior of the glove body. On the interior of the glove body the coating acts as a lubricant to facilitate inserting a hand into the dental glove, and on the exterior of the glove body the same coating acts as a flavoring to provide a pleasant taste in the mouth of a dental patient.
