ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an apparatus and method for using a hygienic device to form a barrier between an object to be grasped, such as a doorknob, and a user's palm and fingers to prevent the transfer of unwanted bacteria and germs. The device is a covering for the palm and fingers of the user's hand which creates a barrier between the doorknob and the user's palm and fingers to prevent the transfer of germs thereto. The device is envisioned to have a pocket or other means to facilitate positioning of the hygienic device on the user's hand, with the pocket being of size to receive one or more fingers up to a depth of less than the middle knuckle. The method for using the hygienic device further includes providing a dispenser for holding multiple hygienic devices, a single device can be removed from the holder which is then placed upon the user's hand and is then used. After the hygienic device is used it can be disposed of as needed by the user.
