A protective glove having a thumb part, an index finger part, a middle finger part, a ring finger part, a pinky finger part, a palm part, a lower body portion and a wrist portion. A finger connection part has a woven layer on which coating is applied and which is configured between the index finger part, the middle finger part, the ring finger part and the palm part.

A releasable gripping glove is provided having one or more flexible artificial tendons extending through a finger section of a glove body. The flexible artificial tendon is configured to maintain a structurally articulated configuration when the finger section is articulated. Each tendon includes locking teeth that engages with a releasable locking tab extending form a locking mechanism configured to engage the locking teeth when the finger section is articulated. A release mechanism is provided to engage and disengage the locking mechanism. A thumb release rod is positioned within a thumb portion and connected to the release mechanism. The articulating of the finger section releasably locks the flexible artificial tendon in the articulated position, which is releasable through relaxing of the thumb portion.

A glove assembled from plurality of flat parts, at least one part being a thumb-crotch part that is configured to span an area from the base of the index finger on the side facing the thumb to the base of the thumb on the side facing the index finger so as to cover the ridged webbing of soft tissue between those fingers.

A protective device for protecting a proximal interphalangeal joint and a distal interphalangeal joint of a human finger comprises a flexible sheath for wearing around the human finger and at least four motion constraining elements integrated in or secured to the flexible sheath. The motion constraining element is adapted for constraining a lateral and/or rotational deviation motion of a first phalanx with respect to a second phalanx. The motion constraining element covers a lateral side of the flexible sheath at a location corresponding to the joint and is adapted for resisting elongation of the motion constraining element in a longitudinal direction of the flexible sheath. The motion constraining element is bendable in a direction to allow flexion of the joint. The motion constraining elements for the distal interphalangeal joint and for the proximal interphalangeal joint are distinct and separate elements having different points of engagement on the flexible sheath.

A fabric comprising a cut-resistant polymeric coating including by weight 1 to 10 percent para-aramid particles, the particles having an average particle size of 20 to 500 microns.

An apparatus comprising a pair of gloves, wherein an index finger portion of a left glove is connected to an index finger portion of a right glove, and wherein a thumb portion of the left glove is connected to a thumb portion of the right glove.

An apparatus comprising a pair of gloves, wherein an index finger portion of a left glove is connected to an index finger portion of a right glove, and wherein a thumb portion of the left glove is connected to a thumb portion of the right glove.

Anatomically contoured ambidextrous compression glove particularly for the hand, form fitting to the tissue to ensure targeted delivery of therapeutic treatment to specific tissue, and yet remain stably affixed without pinching or binding, and allow for motion and use of the tissue while delivering targeted therapeutic treatment.

An impact resistant textile-supported garment, or component thereof, comprises a fabric layer, and (i) at least five non-interconnected impact resistant polyurethane segments upon an outer surface of the fabric layer, wherein at least two of the non-interconnected impact resistant polyurethane segments has a depth of at least 3 mm, preferably at least 4 mm, and wherein at least five of the plurality of non-interconnected segments have dimensions smaller than 1.75 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm; or (ii) at least one non-interconnected impact resistant polyurethane segment, wherein the at least one segment has a depth of at least 3 mm at its deepest part, and wherein the at least one segment is a hollow segment comprising one or more regions defined by an outer polyurethane perimeter, surrounding a region of fabric that is not covered by polyurethane.
