Abstract:
A disposable glove includes an elastomeric base layer having an inside surface and an outside surface. An elastomeric inner layer is fixed with the inside surface of the base layer and comprises an open-cell foam material configured to absorb excessive moisture on the hand. Preferably the inner layer is between one and eight mils thick, allowing enough flexibility that the glove may take an ambidextrous form. The inner layer is a closed-cell foam material treated with a chemical agent to open a plurality of the closed cells in situ. A liquid-impervious layer situated between the base layer and the inner layer, and an open-cell absorbent outer layer, may also be included. The inner layer includes a plurality of encapsulated compound microcapsules and a plurality of cotton fibers. Methods of manufacturing the glove are included.
