ABSTRACT:
A compact, break apart drying rack for utility gloves includes a drain basin (1) for collection of fluid and moisture drips, said drain basin having a pour off flange (2) for disposal of accumulated liquid. Situated on the floor of the drain basin are two pylons (3) which serve as bases for vertical support rods (4 and 5) comprised of two hollow, telescoping tubes with adjustment holes (6) for aligning and clamping into expanding or reducing position, said clamping means completed with spread ring discs (7) which serve two purposes: to connect with and maintain vertical rod position and to spread open utility glove surfaces for drying internally and externally. Positioning the utility gloves on the drying rack permits air drying of utility gloves thereby destroying pathogens present on wet gloves, preserves the quality of the glove material, avoids contamination to the work site by eliminating pooling of fluids on wet gloves deposited on counter tops. The break apart feature permits each member of the drying rack to be placed into the autoclave chamber for periodic total sterilization and protection against cross contamination for the operator, work site or patient.
