ABSTRACT:
A barrier surgical glove for protecting surgeons and health care workers from bacterial or viral infections, such as hepatitis B and autoimmune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The glove includes an inner layer, an outer layer overlying the inner layer and a plurality of closely spaced pillars at the interface between the layers integral with one layer and extending toward the other layer. The pillars provide protection against needle sticks extending completely through the glove while permitting flexibility of the glove and tactile sense transmission through the thickness of the glove.
