A disposable glove having grip enhancing features is described. It includes an interior surface, an exterior surface, and a grip enhancing section having a grip enhancing pattern defined thereon. The grip enhancing pattern is formed from a diamond pattern embossed on said exterior surface of the glove. The diamond pattern comprises individual diamonds that are in close proximity to one another. The grip enhancing section comprises the exterior surface of said glove.

A roll of disposable, rubber gloves that are attached to a paper-like material via, but not limited to, an adhesive, heat or vacuum sealing. By producing one single sheet of the glove roll at a time, it gives the capability to sandwich two sheets of the glove roll together to create individual sections of pairs of gloves. Producing the glove roll this way allows for the guarantee of infection control. The user is only receiving one pair of gloves at a time, rather than reaching into a box of gloves and pulling out too many and possibly contaminating the remaining gloves and/or wasting the extra. The roll will be dispensed by a machine that is similar in fashion to a paper towel dispenser and available in an automatic or manual dispensing option. The roll will also be dispensed via a traditional cardboard glove box.

A disposable surgical gown is provided. The gown includes a front panel and sleeves formed from a first spunbond layer, a nonwoven (e.g., SMS) laminate, and a liquid impervious, moisture vapor breathable elastic film disposed therebetween. The gown also includes a first and second rear panels formed from a nonwoven laminate that is air breathable and allows for an air volumetric flow rate ranging from about 20 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) to about 80 scfm. The gown further includes a collar formed from an air breathable knit material positioned adjacent a proximal end of the gown. The collar defines a neck opening having a v-neck shape adjacent the front panel. The v-neck shape forms an angle of greater than 90 at the neck opening. The combination of features results in a reduced-glare gown that is stretchable and impervious to liquids, yet can still dissipate heat and humidity.

A sneeze guard in the form of a strapless, disposable hygiene mask that is positioned within a dispenser in a kitchen or food production setting. The hygiene mask is intended for a one-time use to control the pathogens and bacteria that is spread through aerosols expelled from a sneeze or a cough. The inside of the hygiene mask contains a filter material with a 99% filtration efficiency to help protect against the spreading of the pathogens and bacteria resulting from the sneeze or cough. The hygiene mask does not contain any straps and is solely intended for a single use, with the intention to be discarded upon being used. The hygiene masks are positioned in a nested relation to one another within the dispenser. The dispenser is composed of a plurality of walls with a dispensing end. The dispensing end consists of a resilient diaphragm containing an opening. The stack of hygiene masks are positioned in such a way within the dispenser that the outermost mask may be pulled through the opening, resulting in the mask that was adjacent to the dispensed hygiene mask to become the outermost mask.

Disclosed is a wearable napkin configured to be worn on a hand. The wearable napkin may include an upper layer composed of a paper material. Further, an upper contour of the upper layer corresponds to a contour of the hand. Further, the wearable napkin may include a lower layer composed of the paper material attached to the upper layer forming a volume therebetween configured to receive the hand. Further, a lower contour of the lower layer corresponds to the contour of the hand.

A disposable facemask is provided having a filter body with an opening sized to cover the nose and mouth of a wearer. The filter body further includes an outer mask layer and an inner mask layer, and one or more intermediate layers disposed between the outer and inner mask layers. At least one of the intermediate layers is a nonwoven web layer including thermoplastic filaments formed from a random copolymer, or a random copolymer blended with a homopolymer.

A glove matrix and method of making gloves from a web of material, which leaves no scrap from the web of material. A first sheet of material is overlaid on a second sheet of material forming a web. First and second glove patterns are formed in the web are arranged to be opposite one another in the cross machine direction of the web. A sinusoidal cut can be made in the web in the machine direction to form glove patterns opposite each other in the cross machine direction.

A protective garment, including a double protective garment, for working in radioactive, nuclear, and/or toxic environments, wherein the main body has a rear surface and the rear surface comprises a reversible opening which is adapted to allow a SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) tank to be removed and replaced while the user continues to wear the protective garment. The reversible opening can be a zipper, including a double zipper. The protective garment is formed of a tri-laminate 30/30/30 water resistant barrier fabric. The garment can be incinerated so as to provide a disposable, one time use coverall particularly adapted for use in nuclear/radioactive environments. The coverall provides integrated elements for water resistance (i.e., splash resistant), breathable, comfortable contamination protection with a high volume of water vapor transfer which can mitigate worker heat stress. It is adapted for use with various types of breathing apparatuses, included external air lines, back-mounted SCBAs, and emergency breathing bottles or apparatuses. Air tanks and bottles are covered by the garment and thus do not need to be decontaminated. The garment also can include elements for use with air sampling devices and/or dosimetry equipment that are often worn by such workers.

A gown (500) includes a first component (100) defining a front body covering portion (102), a first sleeve portion (104), a second sleeve portion (105), and at least a first tie (106). A second component (200), which can be rotated 180 degrees about a central axis relative to the first component, defines a rear body covering portion (202), a third sleeve portion (204), a fourth sleeve portion (205), and at least a second tie (206). The first component is then thermally bonded to the second component by four seams (401,402,403,404).

A disposable garment is disclosed. In one embodiment, the disposable garment includes a single piece with a fold seam located around a center axis running down a length of the single piece, wherein the single piece could be folded along the fold seam to form a front portion of the garment and a back portion of the garment so as to reduce sewing to form the disposable garment. The disposable garment also includes an arm portion to receive an arm, wherein the arm portion is formed when the single piece is folded along the fold seam, and the arm portion includes arm sewing seams where sewing could be applied to form the garment. The disposable garment further includes a torso portion to receive a torso, wherein the torso portion is formed when the single piece is folded along the fold seam, and the torso portion includes a front opening formed by flaps that can be opened or closed.
