  • Patent number: 5984884
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lubricant-impregnated porous substrate. The lubricant-impregnated porous substrate may be used to deliver lubricant as needed to gloves or other surface contacting a tacky resin material during molding or forming of the tacky material. In particular, the lubricant-impregnated porous substrate may be used to lubricate gloves during molding and forming of orthopedic casting materials. The lubricant-impregnated porous substrate may be packaged one or more in a container, and the lubricant-impregnated porous substrate may also be packaged as a kit with the orthopedic casting material. The orthopedic casting material preferably comprises a tape or sheet impregnated with a tacky material wrapped around a core, with the core having multiple projections extending radially outward from a central cylinder to hold the sheet away from the surface of the inner cylinder.
