ABSTRACT:
A flexible protective medical glove containing a non-liquid antiseptic composition and methods for its use are disclosed. The glove comprises a thin inner layer and a thin outer layer of material; preferably the outer layer is a more elastic and less plastic layer than the inner layer. A compartment between the layers of the glove is capable of providing a non-liquid antiseptic composition which comprises an antiseptic in a non-liquid composition. The non-liquid antiseptic composition may also contain a surface-active agent, an algesic agent, a colorant, a vasoconstrictive agent, an odorant, or a viscosity-modifying agent. An object puncturing the glove wall can become coated with the non-liquid antiseptic composition and can automatically transfer some of the antiseptic composition from the glove onto the hand and into a hand wound should the object cause a wound; useful as an immediate preventative antiseptic treatment to help to decontaminate the hand and hand wound of infectious pathogens that may have been transferred there by the object. The treatment can help to protect a gloved individual such as a surgeon, a medical doctor, a health care worker, a law enforcement officer, a dentist or any worker whose work may place them at some risk of becoming contaminated through the hands by an infectious pathogen including the AIDS virus or hepatitis B virus.
