ABSTRACT:
Presented are several embodiments of a disposable elastomeric glove for protecting IV-catheters in human hands and forearms against water and water borne infection. Said protective glove (also called “IV-Glove”) comprises a resilient cylindrical or conical cuff snuggly embracing a human forearm thereby creating a watertight seal, which shields water from getting inside said glove during washing and showering. IV-Glove is made substantially loose around possible IV-catheter insertion sites, providing space large enough to accommodate IV-catheters along with infusion plugs and means of affixing said plugs and catheters to skin. IV-Glove may be manufactured in variety of types, of which some are intended to protect IV-sites in backs of human hands, whereas other types are more suited to protect IV-sites in human forearms. IV-Glove for a hand has increased body size bulging over a back of a hand. The glove intended for waterproofing IV-lines in forearms has a long sleeve connecting a glove body with a watertight cuff. Said sleeve is made substantially loose around a forearm, thereby accommodating an IV-site. A multipurpose version comprising a long sleeve and a bubble-like body, whereby suited for IV-lines anywhere in a hand and a forearm, is also proposed herein.
