Abstract: A medical glove adapted to tightly conform to a wearer's skin and to be donned without the use of additional lubricants is formed with an outer layer of elastomeric material, an inner layer of elastomeric material bonded to the outer layer and particulate matter securely embedded in and randomly distributed throughout the inner layer. The particulate matter is preferably partially exposed on the inner, skin-contacting surface of the inner layer so that it extends inwardly beyond the surface of the inner layer to provide a lubricating means to facilitate donning of the glove without the use of additional lubricants. A method for making the unique medical glove is also disclosed.

Abstract: A uniquely contoured glove adapted to tightly conform to a wearer's hand is made by depositing an elastomeric material on a relatively flat glove form having recessed areas covering substantially the entire surface of the hand-forming and finger-forming portions of the form except for a peripheral edge surrounding the recessed areas. The resulting glove, when stripped from the form and reversed, has a hand portion, an open end cuff portion and a plurality of elongated finger-receiving compartments, each of said compartments and said hand portion having a transverse cross-sectional configuration formed by four outwardly curved sections connected by four inwardly curved sections.
