ABSTRACT:
An improved surgical glove is provided having reinforcing pads formed over the distal finger and thumb pulps and over the metacarpal-phalangeal joints. The fingertips and thumb tips are the most likely region of a surgical glove to be accidentally penetrated by a needle during a surgical procedure. Furthermore, the fingertips, thumb tips, and metacarpal-phalangeal region of the surgical glove are the most likely portions of the glove to become abraded and possibly torn during a surgical procedure. Thus, the reinforcing pads are optimally located for minimizing the possibility of a tear or a needle penetration. The remaining portions of the surgical glove are of conventional thickness and flexibility, thereby assuring adequate mobility of the fingers and hand, such that precise surgical procedures may be performed while using the improved glove.
