ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a device to enable a physician to accurately measure masses encountered during rectal, pelvic, surgical or other internal examinations where the examiner cannot see the objects but must judge their size by only palpitation. The device comprises a one-piece tight fitting glove of thin elastic impervious material with four fingers and a thumb with palpable markings located on one or more fingers of the glove. The markings are spaced at intervals of known length between the interphalangeal joint and the tips of one or more fingers on the pad or palm side, and can be felt on the inside of the glove such that the physician can accurately measure masses which he or she is able to feel but cannot observe.
