Abstract: A surgical glove is made using a mould having a set of digits, consisting of thumb and index, middle, ring and little fingers that are disposed in positions consistent with that of a human hand when holding a surgical implement. In one embodiment, the digits include at least one major bend. In another embodiment, each of the digits includes two bends. By adopting a shape for the surgical glove that mimics the position of the surgeon's hand while holding a surgical implement, finger stress and hand fatigue during a prolonged surgical procedure can be significantly reduced.
