glove for surgeon, and method and device for the manufacture of such as a glove.

摘要

A thin surgical glove is provided with a colored circumferential band overlying the cuff portion to impart visual identification of the glove size and to further strengthen the cuff. A different color is employed for each size. The method comprises first depositing a layer of latex on a glove form and immediately thereafter, before curing, the form is partly immersed into a preselected colored latex bath, wrist down, whereby a desired colored band of desired width is deposited about the cuff portion. The glove is dried, stripped from the form and cured. By this technique, the colored band becomes integrally connected with the underlying base material and resists delaminating. To facilitate the rapid production of varying sizes, a turntable mechanism is employed carrying a plurality of prepositioned colored latex containing tanks. These tanks are rotatably moved into dipping relationship with the glove forms being carried overhead.
