Technical field

The present invention relates to surgical glove or analog, and be specifically related to be included in the anti-such glove that wind up measure downwards are provided on the glove wrist.

Background technology

For the wearer is more easily put on one's gloves, design surgical glove with smooth/slippery inner surface.Glove are designed to be worn on the surgery smock, this unlined long gown is typically based on cotton, but aspect the material of this unlined long gown significant improvement is being arranged recently, comprising that the hydrophobic ingredient that has improved the water resistance of material by employing handles the improvement of material with the water proofing property that realizes material.The material of making surgical glove has gluing, sticking property usually, and takes off glove on hand, the glove made from the material processed that makes its surface smoothing for the ease of what glove are worn over user on hand with from user.Yet the smooth surface that existing glove and an existing problem of unlined long gown design are glove causes during use that the wrist of glove tends to glide along unlined long gown, has exposed the cuff of unlined long gown braiding and has had the risk of the potential infectious material of contact thus.

In order to overcome this problem, glove have been designed to have the wrist branch of weavy grain, this part is molded in the material of glove during the molding process of glove.For example US-A-4095293 discloses a kind of molded glove, and it has around a plurality of vertical passages of glove wrist branch molded about, and has a plurality of cannelures at the opening portion of glove, is used for avoiding last volume.Yet the problem of this set is groove is molded in the glove, causes wrist and the attenuation of wrist mouth material around.In addition because the wherein mode of molded groove and the fact of glove from inside to outside being overturn when shaping mould removes, groove will end at the outside of glove and the glove that need before use thus to overturn once more so that groove is realized its function of holding with a firm grip.

Summary of the invention

According to the invention provides a kind of glove, surgical glove particularly, comprise hand portion and extend and end at the wrist branch that hands inserts mouthful that this wrist branch comprises and be provided at a lip-deep adhesive material zone, in use from hand portion, this surface forms the inboard of glove, thus, in use, the viscosity part can be pressed on the clothes cuff of being worn by user, wrist branch with glove adheres to this thus, thereby avoids winding up of glove downwards.

The advantage that glove according to the present invention have is, it provides effective and reliable system to be used for avoiding in one way the wrist branch of surgical glove to wind up downwards, and this mode also provides additional resistance barrier to be used for preventing that the material between glove wrist branch and the surgery smock outer surface from entering.

Preferably, adhesive material is extended around the interior periphery that the glove wrist divides, and it can be the mode of band, makes in use thus, and glove are fixed along the whole periphery of clothes cuff.Its advantage that has is with so that safety and effective and efficient manner anchor to glove on the clothes especially.

This sticky agent can be a pressure sensitive adhesive, and the surface shows as moderate tack or non-sticky before its activation.This sticky agent also can be a microencapsulation.In case when being worn over glove on the unlined long gown, user is exerted pressure in the cuff zone, this pressure makes the activation of this sticky agent, thereby makes the cuff zone have to a certain degree viscosity, and it can adhere to unlined long gown.

This sticky agent itself can cover by specific liner or releasable material; its protection sticky agent just adheres to it and avoids by pollutions such as dust, dirts when needs; otherwise will reduce its cohesiveness; it has the low viscosity of sticky agent when preparing to use, and makes above-mentioned pollutant be easy to remove from it.In case be with glove, by user liner removed then and made sticky agent expose to be used for fixing the cuff of unlined long gown.Gasket material advantageously has and the same or similar elastic property of glove, makes it flexible with glove.

After glove were shaped and process with suitable rapidoprint, adhesive tape can be formed by the material that separates with glove surface and can be applied to glove surface.For example, before it was applied to glove, sticky agent itself can conform on the suitable backing material, this material list reveal with the similar elastic property of glove to form adhesive tape.Selectable, sticky agent can be used as solution, gel or applies with molten condition, on demand gasket material or similar material are applied thereon, with the protection sticky agent when preparing to use.

Selectable, adhesive tape can be formed by the non-machining area of the glove material that keeps viscosity.Particularly, adhesive tape can be applied to the exposed region of non-processing glove material, so that cover the lower part of glove, it still has viscosity after formed or molded operation.The exposed region of processing glove then is exposed to the viscosity that rapidoprint keeps the glove lower part so that it has a small amount of tacky surfaces-adhesive tape by avoiding it.Remove adhesive tape subsequently and expose the glove part thus, this part in process operation, be protected and thus its viscosity be maintained.

The present invention further provides a kind of method of producing surgical glove to comprise step thus: be applied as pattern (former) to form glove with material; masking material is applied to the surface of glove in the zone of its wrist; and on glove, carry out process operation and produce its smooth surface thus, thus sheltered substance protection the glove material below in the process operation keep its viscosity and/or viscous characteristics thus.

Preferably, will shelter or adhesive material is applied in the band, its whole periphery around wrist extends, and is positioned on the surface, and this surface in use forms the inner surface of glove, and these glove in use cover on the cuff of unlined long gown outside.

According to another aspect of the present invention, one glove are provided, surgical glove particularly, comprise hand portion and extend and end at the wrist branch that hands is inserted opening from hand portion, the wrist branch of glove wherein, at least in described open area, strengthened by elastomeric material being applied to the surface that in use will form the glove inner surface.

The present invention further provides a kind of method of producing glove, surgical glove particularly, comprise step: be applied as pattern to form glove with material, and optionally additional elastomeric material is applied to the glove material zone on the shaping mould, this zone forms the wrist branch of glove, forms the device of strengthening and holding to divide at described wrist.

The advantage that has according to glove of the present invention and its production method is: the glove surface that additional elastomeric material is applied in the carpal area plays the effect that effective minimizing cuff winds up downwards, keeps the intensity and the integrity of glove simultaneously.
