Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to packaging for gloves. More particularly, the present invention relates to packaging for gloves having an antimicrobial barrier for protecting the gloves from contamination from microorganisms and other undesirable materials or contaminants and methods for making the packaging.
- Gloves are widely used as a protective measure and have become mandatory in many industries and nearly all medical and surgical settings.
- disposable gloves are required as a means for protecting medical and surgical staff from coming into contact with bodily fluids during surgical procedures, medical examinations, laboratory testing and other medical procedures.
- Disposable gloves have traditionally been made of rubber materials such as latex, thermoplastic materials such as vinyl, and other natural and synthetic materials.
- the packaging includes an opening for removing the gloves from the packaging.
- the opening is typically revealed by removing a perforated portion of the packaging to access the gloves. Once the perforated portion of the packaging is removed to reveal the opening, the gloves are exposed to the ambient environment.
- the ambient environment may contain microorganisms, pathogens, small airborne particles of dust and debris and other air contaminants, the gloves contained in the packaging may be exposed to undesirable materials or contaminants that may contaminate the gloves while they are in the packaging.
- a glove packaging that includes a barrier to protect gloves contained within the glove packaging from microorganisms, airborne particles and other materials or contaminants that may contaminate the gloves prior to removal from the packaging.
- the barrier can also destroy any microorganisms, pathogens or other materials or contaminants that come in contact with the barrier to further reduce the possibility of contamination.
- a packaging for gloves comprises a container having a cavity for holding the gloves.
- the container includes an opening for removing the gloves from the container.
- the packaging also comprises a barrier including an antimicrobial material positioned to cover at least a portion of the opening of the container.
- a method for making a packaging for gloves comprises providing a container having a cavity for holding the gloves.
- the container includes an opening for removing the gloves from the container.
- the method further comprises providing at least a first barrier having an antimicrobial material and attaching the first barrier to the container such that the barrier at least partially covers a portion of the opening of the container.
- a container for holding a plurality of gloves comprises a body portion, an opening and an antimicrobial film covering the opening.
- the antimicrobial film includes an aperture to facilitate removal of the gloves from the opening of the container.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a glove packaging according to one embodiment of the present concepts.
- FIG. 2 is a top view of the glove packaging illustrating an antimicrobial barrier.
- FIG. 3 is a side view of a barrier including an antimicrobial material.
- FIG. 4 is a side view of another embodiment of a barrier including an antimicrobial material.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a packaging 10 for gloves 12 .
- the packaging 10 comprises a container 14 having a cavity 16 for holding the gloves 12 .
- the container 14 includes an opening 18 for removing the gloves 12 from the container 14 .
- the opening 18 may be in the form of different shapes, such as a circle, an oval, a square, a rectangle, or any variation of such shapes, such that a user may insert his or her hand through the opening 18 to remove one or more of the gloves 12 .
- the opening 18 may initially be covered by a removable segment 20 that is initially formed as part of the container 14 .
- the removable segment 20 which may be a perforated segment, is removable from the packaging 10 by a user once the packaging 10 is ready to be opened by tearing the removable segment 20 away from the packaging 10 .
- the removable segment 20 is generally discarded after it is removed from the packaging 10 .
- the removable segment 20 may include an adhesive segment that is removable from the packaging 10 .
- the container 14 and removable segment 20 may be comprised of a variety of materials or combinations of materials, such as paper, plastic or fabric.
- the gloves 12 may include medical and/or surgical disposable gloves that are comprised of rubber materials such as latex, thermoplastic materials such as vinyl, and other natural and synthetic materials, such as nitrile, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polyisoprene, neoprene, polychloriprene, etc.
- the gloves 12 may include other materials, such as antimicrobial coatings and/or coatings for protecting the skin that include aloe, chamomile, vitamin(s), or combinations thereof and other suitable ingredients that may provide skin care benefits, such as moisturizing and soothing dry, irritated skin.
- other types of gloves i.e., non-medical or non-surgical gloves, could be used with the present concepts.
- the packaging 10 may also comprise a barrier 22 that covers at least a portion of the opening 18 of the container 14 .
- the barrier 22 may be a film, a piece of paper laminated with film or any type of flexible material that is suitable for providing or acting as a barrier.
- the barrier 22 inhibits or prevents microorganisms, pathogens, small airborne particles of dust and debris and other air contaminants from contacting and thus contaminating the gloves 12 prior to removal from the packaging 10 .
- the barrier 22 helps to protect the gloves 12 from being exposed to undesirable materials or contaminants while the gloves 12 are in the packaging 10 .
- Providing gloves 12 that are free from undesirable materials or contaminants reduces the risk that patients and healthcare workers will be exposed to such materials or contaminants and thereby reduces the opportunity to spread potentially harmful and infectious materials or contaminants.
- providing gloves 12 that are free from undesirable materials or contaminants also reduces or prevents cross-contamination that may occur between different patients.
- the film is a thin sheet of material, such as polypropylene, polystyrene, polyester, polyamide, polyvinylchloride, polyethylene (low density polyethylene, medium density polyethylene and/or high density polyethylene), polyvinylidene chloride, regenerated cellulose, cellulose acetate, and/or combinations thereof.
- the film material selected may be based on factors such as cost, shelf-life, barrier effectiveness, performance, etc.
- the film, including the paper-laminated film and any of the embodiments described herein, may have a thickness of less than about 10 mils, particularly from about 1 mil to about 6 mils.
- the thickness may be selected based on a variety of factors such as barrier effectiveness, cost, material(s) used, performance characteristics such as transparency and flexibility, etc.
- the film may be clear or colored.
- the film may also be printed or plain, and may be flat, patterned or embossed.
- the film may be laminated with one or more other materials, in addition to paper, such as foil, vinyl or other materials.
- the film including the paper-laminated film and any of the embodiments described herein, helps to prevent exposure of the inside of the container 14 to microorganisms, airborne particles and other materials or contaminants.
- the barrier 22 may be a single sheet of film or may be multi-layered, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , as barriers 22 a , 22 b .
- the barriers 22 , 22 a , 22 b may comprise the same type of or different materials.
- the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b may also cover all or a portion of the top surface of the container 14 , and may include an opening, aperture or slit in the middle of the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b for removing the gloves 12 . Having additional materials and/or additional layers may provide better protection than a single layer.
- the barriers 22 a , 22 b may include at least two overlapping films, including the paper-laminated film and any of the embodiments described herein, that are attached to the container 14 .
- a first overlapping film or barrier 22 a may cover a different portion of the opening 18 of the container 14 than a second overlapping film or barrier 22 b .
- the barriers 22 a , 22 b may be positioned such that the barriers 22 a , 22 b are adjacent and overlap at an area corresponding approximately to the center of the opening 18 , although it is contemplated that an overlapping portion 23 of the barriers 22 a , 22 b may be at other locations other than the center of the opening 18 .
- the overlapping portion 23 of the barriers 22 a , 22 b creates a slit 24 which allows a user to insert his or her hand through the slit 24 and remove a glove(s) 12 from the container 14 .
- the barriers 22 a , 22 b may include a film, a piece of paper laminated with film or any type of flexible material that is suitable for providing or acting as a barrier.
- one method for making the packaging 10 for gloves 12 includes providing a container 14 having a cavity 16 for holding the gloves 12 and an opening 18 for removing the gloves 12 from the container 14 .
- a barrier such as barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b
- a suitable method for attaching the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b can be used to cover at least a portion of the opening 18 of the container 14 .
- the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b includes overlapping films or barriers that cover the opening 18 of the container 14 and form the slit 24 for removal of the gloves 12 from the container 14 .
- the barriers 22 , 22 a , 22 b are attached to an inside surface of the top portion of the container 14 .
- the barriers 22 , 22 a , 22 b may be attached to the container 14 via adhesive material, glue, heat bonding, mechanical bonding, such as staples, and other suitable modes of attachment.
- the barriers 22 , 22 a , 22 b may be attached along one or more peripheries, or other suitable area, of the top of the container 14 .
- the barriers 22 , 22 a , 22 b themselves may be made according to various methods, including extrusion, extrusion coating, co-extrusion or calendaring, or other suitable methods for making films. Extrusion, for example, is one of the most common and inexpensive methods for making a film.
- the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b of the embodiments described herein may include an antimicrobial material(s).
- the antimicrobial material(s) may include, but is/are not limited to, silver-based antimicrobial materials, copper-based antimicrobial materials, chlorhexidene gluconate, benzalkonium chloride, monoquaternary and polyquaternary ammonium salt-based antimicrobial materials (including covalent bonded quaternary ammonium salt (QAS)), biguanide-based antimicrobials such as polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), triclosan, zinc pyrithione, isothiazolinone-based antimicrobials, 10,10′-oxybisphenoxarsine-based (OPBA) antimicrobials, peptide-based antimicrobials, natural antimicrobials such as hops extract, honey and chitosan-based antimicrobials, and any combinations thereof.
- PHMB polyhexamethylene biguanide
- the antimicrobial material may be selected based on a variety of factors, such as an efficacy requirement (percent of reduction), time to kill, antimicrobial spectrum, i.e., how broadly the antimicrobial material can kill bacteria, or other viruses, mold, fungi, etc.
- the amount of antimicrobial material used may depend on the specific antimicrobial material used, as different antimicrobial materials will require different levels for effectiveness. Thus, the amount of antimicrobial material needed will vary, but each antimicrobial material will have an antimicrobially effective level.
- the antimicrobial material may be added to the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b according to different methods that include, but are not limited to, spraying, coating, mixing with a polymer before extrusion, or other methods suitable to result in an application or addition of the antimicrobial material to the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b .
- the particular method chosen may depend on the type of manufacturing process being used to make the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b , the end use of the product, cost and other relevant factors.
- spraying may be the most cost effective method.
- the antimicrobial material may be added to the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b by mixing the antimicrobial material with the barrier material before extrusion.
- All of these methods provide for the antimicrobial material to be included on the surface of the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b , distributed within the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b , or both.
- the antimicrobial material 30 may be uniformly added to the surface of and incorporated within the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b such that once a microorganism comes in contact with the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b , it comes into contact with the antimicrobial material 30 and is killed. While it is possible to add the antimicrobial material 30 to only a portion of the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b , such as coating the surface of the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b with the antimicrobial material 30 as shown in FIG. 4 , it is generally more economical and effective to treat the whole barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b ( FIG. 3 ). In some embodiments, the antimicrobial material 30 distributed within the barrier 22 , 22 a , 2 b may migrate to the surface of the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b once the antimicrobial material 30 on the surface is consumed.
- the antimicrobial material 30 that is added to the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b destroys the microorganisms and pathogens that may come in contact with the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b and thus reduces and/or eliminates the amount of microorganisms that may be deposited on the disposable gloves 12 housed within the container 14 .
- the antimicrobial material 30 in combination with the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b creates a contaminant-free zone on the packaging 10 that assists in reducing or eliminating patients and healthcare workers' exposure to potentially infectious and harmful microorganisms and contaminants.
- the barrier 22 , 22 a , 22 b prevents or reduces the occurrence of airborne particles and other materials or contaminants that may contaminate the gloves prior to removal from the packaging.
