Definitions

  • the present invention relates to knitted casting gloves used for any molding or modeling application where a slippery, non-stick glove is beneficial to the user. More specifically, it relates to gloves used as casting gloves by physicians and technicians in setting broken limbs.
  • Casts used by physicians to set broken limbs typically are bandages made of plaster, polyester or fiberglass applied on the fabric of the bandage or orthopedic casting tape.
  • the cast must be applied to the broken limb by hand and generally requires dipping the bandage in water or some other curing agent prior to wrapping the cast in place on the limb.
  • the bandages are being set on the limb, the curing or drying process is underway and the bandage materials may become tacky. The physician's hands may begin to adhere to the cast before the cast is completely finished.
  • a lubricant is applied to the physician's hands or gloves to allow the gloves to slip over the curing tape or bandage material until the physician is prepared to terminate the cast.
  • Methods for delivering the lubricant to the gloves have included providing a dry coating to the gloves that will become lubricious when brought into contact with water.
  • Gloves having lubricant impregnated substrates have also been used.
  • the gloves are typically latex with a lubricating polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) external coating.
  • PVA polyvinyl alcohol
  • the external coating is applied to the glove by dipping the glove in a solution of the lubricant, followed by drying the lubricant.
  • the drawback to these types of gloves is that they may be difficult to manufacture reproducibly.
  • the gloves also may be stiff, subject to cracking, or flaking off of particles. Also, the user is left with little manual control should the user need to manipulate small items such as a pen or scissors while using the gloves.
  • Additional methods of delivering the lubricant to gloves include the application of a casting cream consisting of water, mineral oil, sorbitol and silicon to the gloves after wrapping the cast but before molding the cast.
  • incorporating oil-containing lubricants into curable compositions may result in a longer setting time for the cast.
  • Another method for controlling the amount and location of the lubricant involves swabbing a lubricant onto the glove with a porous, flexible substrate as an applicator.
  • the lubricant-impregnated porous substrate may be used to deliver the lubricant as needed to gloves or other surfaces that contact a tacky substance.
  • One or both of the lubricated substrate or gloves may be wetted with water or immersed in water before swabbing the lubricant onto the glove.
  • the substrate may be a knitted or woven textile or fabric including cotton.
  • the drawbacks to using the substrate as an applicator of the lubricant is that multiple applications of the lubricant to the glove may be required during casting and added steps are required for lubricant delivery as compared to the gloves having a lubricating layer. The multiple applications and added steps are undesirable as they increase the time required to complete the casting procedure.
  • the present invention is a knitted glove for use in setting casts on broken limbs or for use in handling any tacky molding or modeling activities such as ceramic molding or where a slippery non-stick glove is beneficial. When wetted, the glove imparts a detackifying effect on the sticky material. This glove eliminates stiffness, cracking, and flaking off of particles, and increases longevity of the gloves during use.
  • the glove is designed to, optionally, be worn over a standard exam-type glove and is made from a water soluble, water-swellable polymer or fiber. The glove will swell, soften or at least partially dissolve into a slippery lubricious surface when wetted.
  • the knitted glove may be made of polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA”), Co-Nylon, or low dissolving point polymer, or a blend of any of these materials, for example.
  • PVA polyvinyl alcohol
  • Co-Nylon or low dissolving point polymer
  • the invention provides gloves of various knitted materials that impart a detackifying effect on a sticky work surface. These gloves include gloves made from materials further identified in Table 1 below. Table 1. Summary of Materials Use in Casting Gloves.
  • Cotton-PVA 30 refers to the size yarn, i.e. size 30 and, similarly, Cotton-PVA 40 refers to size 40 yarn.
  • PVA 30/1 refers to size 30 single ply yarn. In a similar fashion, PVA 40/1 refers to size 40 single ply yarn.
  • the Cotton-PVA 30 and Cotton-PVA 40 materials were obtained from Itochu in Osaka, Japan. Isolyser materials are available from Orex Technologies of Norcross, Georgia.
  • the PVA #1, PVA #12 and Co-nylon materials were obtained from Fiber Science, Inc. in Palm Bay, Florida.
  • the dissolving points of the PVA #1 and PVA #12 materials is determined by the manufacturer by measuring a length of yarn and tying a washer weighing between 5 and 10 grams to one end of the length of yarn. The yarn and washer are then submersed in a vessel of water such that the washer does not rest on the bottom of the vessel of water. The water is then slowly heated until the yarn breaks and the washer falls to the bottom of the vessel. The dissolving point is reported to be the temperature at which the yarn breaks and the washer falls to the bottom of the vessel.
  • Base material refers to the material being blended with a PVA material such that a spool of the material is knitted together with a spool of PVA material.
  • Another method of combining materials is known as upwinding. During upwinding, strands of different materials are wound together to produce a single yarn of more than one material.
  • Test gloves were knitted on one of two different knitting machines. One machine was a 15-gauge knitting machine and the other was a 13-gauge 83 needle machine. Twelve types of gloves were produced for use in a sample casting procedure. The gloves are identified as samples A - L. Table 2 summarizes the test materials of each sample glove A-
  • the data means the particular gloves are a blend of materials as indicated by the glove's position in the table.
  • Glove J is a blend of nylon and Cotton-PVA 30 from two spools knitted together.
  • the gloves were subjectively analyzed for donning, wearability/comfort and casting durability properties.
  • the gloves were placed over standard examination gloves when determining testing.
  • Powder-free nitrile and polyvinyl chloride examination gloves were used as representative examination gloves. The results of this analysis are summarized in Table 3.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un gant à mouler tricoté qui, lorsqu'il est mouillé, confère à une surface de travail collante une propriété supprimant la tendance au collant. Le gant comprend un fil tricoté d'un matériau de base et d'un matériau hydrosoluble ayant un point de dissolution bas ou d'un matériau de base et d'un matériau gonflable dans l'eau. Le gant à mouler tricoté peut être porté sur un gant d'examen standard.
