The device according to the invention comprises a container with an opening for receiving the glove and the hand, and with a circumferential rim for supporting the collar of the glove such that the container and the glove inserted into the container form a closed compartment. The container comprises means such as a bellow to change the volume of the container and thereby of the pressure within the container. Further, a vent is placed in the container such as to be opened by the hand from within the compartment for removing any under pressure when the container volume is increased, such that the hand inserted in a glove can be easily withdrawn from the compartment. The invention further relates to method of manufacturing a glove for use in such device, the method involving placing a flexible collar around the wrist of a hand model prior to dip moulding the glove. When pulling off the glove from the hand mode, turning the glove except the opening with the collar inside out, the collar forms an outwardly folded down border on the finished glove.
