Moreover, since a cushioning material such as a hard urethane pad is attached to the back of the hand on the inner surface of the cover portion, it may hurt itself and others.

  In the restraint care soft glove disclosed in Patent Document 2, there is no portion for inserting individual fingers as in Patent Document 1, so that the hand may rotate. In addition, it has a hilly part filled with a short-pipe pipe in the palm part, and it is considered not to grasp the tube etc., but there are cases where the tube etc. can be easily grasped due to movement of the filling etc. May lose. Moreover, although the back side of the hand is composed of a net, since the fingertip portion is not protected, there is a possibility that a nail or a finger may come out from the net and be hooked and removed.

  In Patent Document 3, the tip of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger is open in a bifurcated glove with only the thumb part separated, and a partition is provided between the thumb part and the index finger part so that the thumb and index finger can move freely. Although no configuration is disclosed, since the tips of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger are open, there is a concern that the tube may be hooked and pulled.
