ABSTRACT:
A disposable device for the manual collection and containment of small amounts of material without direct manual contact. The device comprises an elongated bag of flexible, moisture-proof material having an open end and a closed end. The bag is so sized as to comfortably receive the user's hand. The closed end of the bag is two ply with a thin layer of air therebetween for puncture resistance and is gusseted to have a "W"-shape in cross-section. This gusseting provides two interior pockets for the receipt of the user's fingers and thumb, respectively, and an intermediate exterior pocket to receive the collected material which is picked up by opposing forces applied thereto by the user's fingers and thumb. Once the material to be collected is engaged in the intermediate exterior pocket, the user employs his free hand to strip the bag from his occupied hand by engaging the open end of the bag with his free hand and pulling it forwardly of his occupied hand, turning the bag inside-out and completely enclosing the collected material. The elongated body of the bag can be tied in a knot or provided with an apropriate tying or sealing means.
