Abstract
The method of making a medical glove adapted to tightly conform to a wearer's skin and to be donned without the use of additional lubricants comprises the steps of applying a first layer of elastomeric material onto a glove form having the general contour of a human hand; applying a second layer over the first layer; the second layer being a particulate suspension comprising an elastomeric material having particulate matter randomly distributed therethrough; the particulate matter having a size greater than the thickness of the second layer of elastomeric material; curing the layers so that the first and second layers are permanently bonded together and the particulate matter is securely embedded within the second layer with portions thereof extending outwardly beyond the surface of the elastomeric material; removing the glove from the form; and reversing the glove to position the particulate matter on the inner, skin-contacting surface thereof.
