Abstract: A protective device for the hand is provided which comprises a sheet conforming to the shape of at least part of the hand and having disposed over at least a portion thereof a heat or pressure-sensitive adhesive. The material can be microporous sheet. The devices can be formed on a release sheet preferably conforming in shape to the device. The release sheet can have a solid portion corresponding to the individual finger portions of the device. Conveniently, the devices are formed in a continuous sheet by rupturable lines and release sheets can cover the continuous sheet until ready for use. In a preferred form of the device corresponding portions of the opposed surface readily release from adhesive portions of an adjacent device. The opposed surface has enhanced release properties being treated with a release agent such as silicone. The adhesive bearing portions being adjacent to the release portions of the adjacent device.
