Abstract
A puncture proof surgical glove and methods for producing the puncture proof glove are provided. The puncture proof glove provides flexibility and elasticity and protects against dangerous puncture wounds from needles and scalpels. The puncture proof surgical glove includes a first glove and second glove that each include a first pattern cut from a first material in a shape, a first layered stack of a plurality of patterned sheets, each of the plurality of patterned sheets cut from a second material in the first shape and having multiple line cuts through the second material, a second pattern cut from the first material in the first shape, and a third pattern cut in the first shape. The first pattern is layered on top of the first layered stack and the second pattern is layered on the bottom of the first layered stack and the first pattern and second pattern are bonded along their edges. The third pattern is then bonded to the edge of the bonded first and second patterns along an edge of the third pattern except for a portion of the edge to provide for an opening. The second glove is placed over the first glove so that the third pattern of the second glove is layered on top of the first pattern, and the bonded edge of the second glove overlaps the bonded edge of the first glove. Then the third pattern of the second glove is bonded to the first pattern of the first glove.
