Abstract
The donning of surgical gloves is facilitated by inflating the surgical glove with the cuff open so that the surgeon may insert his hand into the glove while inflated and then deflating the glove around the surgeon's hand. The glove is mounted in a glove package with the cuff of the elastomeric surgeon's glove stretched around a ring. The ring with the glove so mounted is mounted at the mouth of a tube which telescopes into a larger tube making a sliding air seal with the larger tube. When the smaller tube is withdrawn from the larger tube, the reduced air pressure that results within the chamber defined by the tubes sucks the glove into the chamber and inflates it in the chamber. After the surgeon has inserted his hand into the inflated glove, the inner tube is then reinserted into the outer tube to increase the pressure within the chamber above atmospheric causing the cuff of the glove to explode off the ring on which it is mounted and snap around the surgeon's wrist.
