Abstract: The disclosed medical examination glove comprises natural or nitrile rubber latex, and a water soluble singlet oxygen generator. The glove can be manufactured by contacting a glove former with a coagulant solution comprising divalent calcium cations and carbonate particles and a water soluble singlet oxygen generator and then contacting the glove former with a natural or nitrile rubber latex dispersion.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing nitrile rubber latex medical examination gloves during which (a) the glove formers are dipped into a coagulant solution containing divalent calcium cations and calcium nitrate particles, to which has been added a composition comprising Alcohol ethoxylate, Amine oxide, Ethylenediaminetetracetic acid, Glutaraldehyde, Chlorhexidine di-gluconate, Chlorhexidine di-hydrochloride, Salisept, Titanium Dioxide, nano particle silver; and during which (b) the coated glove formers are then dipped into a nitrile rubber latex dispersion to which has been added a composition comprising Alcohol ethoxylate, Amine oxide, Lactic acid, Ethylenediaminetetracetic acid, Glutaraldehyde, Salisept; and during which (c) the nitrile rubber latex gloves are finally placed in to packaging utilizing a clear coat varnish that it is impregnated with a phenolic chlorine compound, micronized nanosilver colloid, and a quaternary compound.
