Abstract: There is disclosed herein a combination stopper for effecting an air-tight seal with the barrel of a syringe to protect the contents from contamination. The stopper is adapted for use with either the luer tip or a needle attached to the end of the syringe barrel. The stopper includes an elongated frustoconically-shaped main body portion having oppositely disposed end walls, and the end wall at the large-diameter end of the main body portion has a generally planar and continuous surface. An elongated frustoconically-shaped luer-receiving nipple is integrally formed with and extends from the small-diameter end wall of the main body portion, with the free end of the nipple being inwardly recessed. The luer-receiving nipple is shaped, sized and constructed to receive and seal the syringe luer tip.

Abstract: A molded glove defines a hand and wrist portion, with the wrist portion defining, in as-molded configuration, longitudinal channels positioned about its circumference. In accordance with this invention, a plurality of circumferential channels are defined on the wrist portion at the end remote from the hand portion, the circumferential channels crossing the longitudinal channels. The thickness of the glove along the longitudinal and circumferential channels is increased over the thickness of the glove in areas adjacent to the channels. The glove exhibits improved resistance to rolling down of the cuff while being worn, when compared with conventional gloves having longitudinal flutes or channels, gloves having beaded cuffs, and the like.
