Medical glove and method

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A medical glove adapted to tightly conform to a wearer's skin and to be donned without the use of additional lubricants is formed with an outer layer of elastomeric material an inner layer of elastomeric material bonded to the outer layer and particulate matter securely embedded in and randomly distributed throughout the inner layer. The particulate matter is preferably partially exposed on the inner, skin-contacting surface of the inner layer so that it extends inwardly beyond the surface of the inner layer to provide a lubricating means to facilitate donning of the glove without the use of additional lubricants. A method for making the unique medical glove is also disclosed.
