Abstract
A surgical glove (10) includes a ventral side (12) and a dorsal side (14) integrally connected thereto. The sides (12,14) include a thin layer (16) of stretchable air and water impermeable material and the dorsal side (14) includes a layer (18) of flexible armor (18) embedded in the stretchable air and water impermeable material (16). A method of making the surgical glove (10) includes the steps of dipping a mold shell (24) having the configuration of a human hand with a ventral side and a dorsal side (30) into a liquid (34) which is curable to the stretchable air and water impermeable material (16). A hand shaped layer (18) of the flexible armor is disposed on the dorsal side (30) of the shell (24) prior to curing the liquid (34). The shell (24) is dipped into the liquid (34) a second time to embed the fiber (18) within the liquid (34). Finally, the liquid ( 34) is cured to the stretchable air and water impermeable material (16).
