ABSTRACT:
A glove for use by medical personnel which is adapted to help prevent accidental injuries when handling needles includes a first discrete layer of flexible material which has a pore size smaller than the diameter of a needle. The first layer forms a glove with an optional opening in the fingerprint area of the index finger stall and middle finger stall. The glove also includes a second discrete layer of flexible material which also has a pore size which is smaller than the diameter of a needle. This second layer is permanently attached to selected areas of the first layer. The selected areas comprise all of the thumb stall, and lateral sides of the index finger stall and middle finger stall. Preferably, the fingernail region is not covered by the second layer and backsides of the first distal joint portion of the index and middle finger stall are covered. A V-opening for the back side of the glove includes two distinct fastening devices. A third discrete layer of corrugated metal foil is optionally provided in the selected areas. Methods for sterilization and disinfecting are also provided.
