A highly stretchable latex rubber glove for use by physicians during surgery and the like. This glove has fingers, each of which have generally parallel sides, and are ovaled from front to back at a mid joint area of the fingers, and are ovaled from side to side at a tip section in an area of the wearer's finger directly beneath an approximate midpoint of the wearer's fingernail. This finger structure provides added flexibility and tactile sensitivity at tip sections of the glove fingers during delicate manuevers, such as tying sutures, etc. The glove also has an exaggerated undercut thumb ball area to provide improved stretchability diagonally across the glove's palm.

Highly stretchable glove and form for making same

A device for measuring a hand which is particularly useful for a surgeon in selecting a particular size of latex surgeon's glove. The device has structure for measuring the length of a finger and coordinating it with a width of a palm of the hand to select a glove size.

Hand measuring device

A series of latex rubber gloves for medical use in which a limited number of sizes comfortably fit a major portion of the general population. The glove sizes are positioned against the hand size distribution of the general population so the glove sizes are spaced further apart relative to palm circumference, and are spaced closer together relative to hand length. The gloves of this series have a comfortable stretch range of between 4 and 20% at palm circumference, and a comfortable stretch range of 1.5 to 10% relative to hand length.
