Abstract: Method of making a multilayer protective covering such as a surgical glove, finger cot or condom. Mold with a first layer is dipped into a gas-releasing solution which comprises a release agent, a blowing agent, and/or a coagulant. The mold is then dipped into a layer-forming solution to form a second layer. Heat is applied and gas forms between the layers, separating the layers. An antimicrobial solution may replace gas between the layers.

Abstract: Protective covering such as a surgical glove, finger cot or condom having two layers with a middle layer of sealing solution disposed between the two layers. The solution operates to fill punctures or tears in the two layers. The middle layer may include an evaporation inhibitor to inhibit evaporation of antimicrobial or sealing solutions in the middle layer.

Abstract: A protective covering, such as a surgical glove, having two layers sandwiching a layer of protective solution, such that if the covering becomes punctured or torn, the substance releases to protect the user. The liquid layer has an average thickness of less than about 0.12 mm, such that it exerts a capillary force on the two glove layers, thereby providing a mechanical-like coupling effect. The protective solution may include a dye for a visual indication of punctures or tears in the outer layer. The layers may be adhered together at desired points to restrict the layers from peeling apart during use. Various methods for making such protective coverings are disclosed.
