  The invention described in Patent Document 1 is a glove detachment device for infection prevention, which is a relatively large device. Preferably, it is desirable that the glove itself has a structure suitable for infection prevention and does not require a large-scale apparatus as described above.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an infection prevention glove that does not require a glove detaching device for infection prevention and has a structure suitable for infection prevention.

Infection prevention gloves according to the present invention,
A bag covering the fingers, palms and back of the hand,
A cover covering the bag portion on the palm and back of the hand,
The bag portion and the cover have an opening into which a hand can be inserted,
The opening of the cover can be positioned outside the opening of the bag portion so that the cover can cover the opening of the bag portion,
The cover is such that the edge opposite to the opening is a fixed portion to the bag portion, and is sized to surround the bag portion by folding back from the fixed portion. The most important feature.

  In order to remove the infection prevention glove from the state where the infection prevention glove according to the present invention is worn on the hand, the bag portion is covered with the cover while the cover is folded back from the opening. By folding the cover, a surface corresponding to the palm and back of the hand that is not contaminated with bacteria and pathogens in the bag portion and a back surface of the cover appear. The tip of the bag that is contaminated with bacteria or pathogens is covered with a cover. Thus, since the surface of the infection prevention glove that is not contaminated with bacteria or pathogens appears, the infection prevention glove can be removed from the hand by pinching the uncontaminated surface. A separate device separate from the gloves is not required.

It is a top view which shows the Example of the infection prevention glove which concerns on this invention. It is side surface sectional drawing of the said Example. It is side surface sectional drawing which shows the example in the middle of the separation operation of the said Example. It is side surface sectional drawing which shows the example in the middle of the separation operation following the said separation operation of the said Example.

  Embodiments of the infection prevention glove according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an infection prevention glove 10 according to the present embodiment covers a bag portion 12 that covers a finger, a palm, and the back of a human hand, and a bag portion 12 that covers the palm and the back of the hand. A cover 20 is provided. The bag portion 12 has five finger-shaped portions 14 with the tip portion covering the fingers of a human hand, and the base end portion has an opening 16 into which a hand can be inserted.

  The cover 20 covers the bag portion 12 at portions corresponding to the palm and the back of the hand. The base end portion of the cover 20 is an opening 22 into which a hand can be inserted. It has become. The adhering portion 30 is provided continuously and endlessly along the boundary between the finger-shaped portion 14 of the bag portion 12 and the back and palm of the hand of the bag portion 12. The means for providing the fixing portion 30 is arbitrary, and for example, welding or adhesion can be used.

  The cover 20 has a relatively long base end so that the opening 16 of the bag portion 12 can be covered, and the opening 22 of the cover 20 is more natural than the opening 16 of the bag portion 12 in a natural state. It can be located outside. The cover 20 can be folded back with the fixing portion 30 as a boundary, and is sized to surround the bag portion 12, particularly the finger-shaped portion 14 by folding back.

  An appropriate number of annular members 24 effective when attaching / detaching the infection prevention gloves 10 to / from a human hand are coupled to the opening 22 of the cover 20 as appropriate.

  The material of the bag portion 12 is preferably a thin and flexible material that can prevent the penetration of bacteria and pathogens, and that does not interfere with delicate work with the fingertips. In this embodiment, an elastomer is used. Used. Similarly, the cover 20 is made of an elastomer.

  Next, a method for attaching and detaching the infection prevention gloves 10 will be described. When the infection prevention glove 10 is worn on a person's hand, the hand is inserted through the opening 22 of the cover 20 and the opening 16 of the bag portion 12, and five fingers are respectively inserted into the corresponding finger-shaped portions 14. . The base portion of the bag portion 12 and the cover 20 is extended along the arm so as not to be slack. A portion of the bag portion 12 corresponding to the palm and the back of the hand is covered with a cover 20. The opening 22 of the cover 20 is located outside the opening 16 of the bag portion 12, and the opening 16 of the bag portion 12 is covered with the cover 20.

  By performing a medical practice or the like with the infection prevention gloves 10 worn, the surface of the infection prevention gloves 10 is contaminated with bacteria, pathogens, or the like. Therefore, when the infection prevention glove 10 is removed from the hand, the annular member 24 is pinched and pulled toward the fingertip. Since the annular member 24 may also be contaminated, the annular member 24 is pulled through the uncontaminated member. Examples of the uncontaminated member include a hook-like member that is hooked on the annular member 24, a member that sandwiches the annular member 24, and the like.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, a hook 26 is attached to an appropriate immovable member, the ring-shaped member 24 is hooked on the hook 26, and the hand is pulled to detach the infection prevention glove 10 from the hand. Thus, even if the annular member 24 is contaminated, the infection prevention glove 10 can be detached from the hand without touching the contaminated portion. The hooks 26 may be provided according to the number of the annular members 24 fixed to the infection prevention gloves 10.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the annular member 24 is hooked on the hook 26 and the hand is pulled, the cover 20 is folded back and turned toward the fingertip while turning upside down. A portion of the bag portion 12 corresponding to the palm and back of the hand appears, but this portion is not contaminated. Further, the surface of the cover 20 that appears on the surface after being reversed is not contaminated.

  When the hand is further pulled, the cover 20 is further folded back. When the folded portion reaches the adhering portion 30 with the bag portion 12, the limit position for folding is reached. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the finger-shaped portion 14 of the bag portion 12 is covered with a cover 20. Further, the opening 22 of the cover 20 is closed by connecting the annular members 24 together, and the contaminated portion of the bag portion 12 is confined in the cover 20. Since the annular member 24 may be contaminated, the annular member 24 may be accommodated in the cover 20 and the opening 22 may be sealed.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the volume covered with the cover 20 is reduced by bending a finger so that the contaminated portion can be easily confined by the cover 20. In order to remove the infection prevention gloves 10 from the hand, pull the hand from the infection prevention gloves 10 while gradually extending the fingers.

  In this way, the infection prevention glove 10 can be detached from the hand without directly touching the contaminated part of the infection prevention glove 10. Since the surface of the infection prevention glove 10 that is detached from the hand shows a non-contaminated surface, it becomes easy to dispose the infection prevention glove 10 thereafter.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the cover 2 is folded to some extent, the uncontaminated surface of the bag portion 12 and the cover 20 appears on the surface. You may leave it.

  In a situation where infectious diseases in the hospital, Ebola hemorrhagic fever, and the like are a problem, the infection prevention gloves according to the present invention are expected to have many demands by being disposable.
