ABSTRACT:
A simplified glove donning device to inflate and detect pinhole size leaks in elastic gloves using no internal or external energy sources. The device may be mounted to any flat surface. Glove donning cylinders (100) hold elastic gloves securely in place and forms an air tight seal between cylinder (100) and elastic glove. When a hand is inserted into the cylinder (100), sealed with an elastic glove, air in the cylinder is forced out through a one-way check valve (400). When the hand is retracted slightly or fully, the elastic glove is pulled into the cylinder (100) by the vacuum developed below the glove, thus, it expands larger than a hand. The user may then insert a hand friction free and disengages the glove from the cylinder (100) by rolling the cuff up and off the upper edge (130) of the cylinder (100). When the air tight seal is broken, the glove deflates rapidly and conforms to the shape of the hand with no air pockets at the finger tips. If the vacuum indicator (500) indicates a loss of vacuum in the cylinder (100), the glove may have a hole through which bodily fluids can pass.
