A skin barrier system includes an adhesive layer that reasonably secures on the underside of a palmar region and phalanx region of a hand; a biohazard barrier layer attached to the adhesive layer, biohazard barrier layer being configured to come in contact with surfaces and prevents containments from traveling through the biohazard barrier layer and the adhesive layer. An aspect of the disclosure includes a two-sided, molded material for a barrier on the palm side of the hand and fingers. One side adheres to hand and the other side may be configured to contact surfaces while keeping bacteria from getting through to the skin of a human hand.

A batting pad comprising a body made from a cushioning material and having a ring portion adapted to fit over a batter's thumb and an appendage to cushion the palm area between a batter's thumb and index finger. The appendage has a thickness T at its thickest point located between the first end and the distant end, and the thickness T of the appendage is selected to optimize an angle of a bat in the batter's hand relative to a line parallel to the batter's forearm, the angle being determined by the thickness T of the appendage displacing the bat toward the tip of the batter's index finger and causing the bat to contact the palm of the batter's hand near the batter's little finger.

The present invention relates to a wrist guard and provides a wrist guard that does not pressurize the entire wrist portion but allows for pressurizing only the radius portion and the ulna portion, thereby not only performing a wrist protection function in a stable manner, but also not hindering blood circulation since other portions of the wrist are not pressurized, and thus may be conveniently used since side-effects such as hand numbness or hand swelling do not occur even when wearing same for a long period, and the position and thickness of a pressurizing pad for pressurizing the radius portion and the ulna portion of the wrist may be adjusted according to the needs of a user, and thus the wrist guard may be more conveniently used since same may be altered into an optimal state according to physical conditions of the user or environmental conditions.

WOSPP (WorkOut with Snaps and Palm Protection) is an alternative workout glove design that is compact in size, fits around one or more fingers, is machine washable/dryable, and can be attached to an article of clothing such as workout shorts, or other items such as a workout towel. The WOSPP attaches to the various articles or other items through a variety of methods, such as snaps. When the article of clothing or other item is washed, the WOSPP is also cleaned. A portion of the WOSPP design provides palm protection against calluses in addition to grip support.

The present disclosure describes a a protective glove for a human hand including a glove body comprised of flexible sheet material and configured to overlie the thumb, the second, third, fourth, and fifth digits, the back of the palm, and the knife edge of the hand of a wearer; for each of the second, third, fourth, and fifth digits, at least one elongate flexible lattice cushion connected to the glove body and overlying the dorsal surface of each digit; and at least one planar flexible lattice cushion configured to overlie the dorsal aspect of the palm.

A color splash effect is established by a darker backdrop color of an outer surface of a liquid proof and heat resistant glove in the event that a portion of the glove ruptures or fails. The color splash effect is accomplished by a lighter and brighter color being visible through the rupture in the glove. The lighter and brighter color may be formed on or as part of a protective member positioned beneath the outer layer. The protective member also protects the wearer against sharp objects contacting the outer layer of the glove and moving over the protective member. Some embodiments provide that the protective member is in a thumb crotch region of the glove.

A cover for a glove having a back, a wrist, a thumb, index fingers, a web, a sizing strap, and a hook and loop fastener, the cover incorporating a sheet having a flexible base and a loop attached to the base; a web arm attached to the flexible sheet and extending oppositely from the base; a wrist arm attached to the flexible sheet and extending oppositely from the base; a first hook and loop fastener attached to the web arm and adapted for, upon attaching the loop to the sizing strap, wrapping around the glove and engaging the glove's hook and loop fastener; and a second hook and loop fastener attached to the wrist arm and adapted for wrapping around the glove's wrist and engaging the glove's hook and loop fastener.

An apparatus for hand protection includes a flexible sheet that extends from a first end to a second end of the flexible sheet along a length thereof. Adhesive material is located on one side of the flexible sheet. A backing layer is on the adhesive material. The flexible sheet includes at least one finger opening closer to the first end than to the second end. A method enables a flexible sheet with adhesive material thereon to be applied to a person's hands. Fingers are inserted through one or more finger openings. The backing layer is removed. The flexible sheet is adhered to the person's hand.

A grip assist apparatus for weightlifting that includes a gripping portion with spine insert that is sufficiently pliable to be bent to allow a user to reach the end with their fingers and wrap the gripping portion around an axle bar but sufficiently resilient to substantially return to its starting position after the gripping portion is released.

A gripping apparatus is provided to reduce friction and skin impingements on a user's hand and prevent friction and skin impingement related injuries. The gripping apparatus comprises a strap and a cushion configured to define a wearable band that provides a barrier between a user's skin and an object being gripped. A ridge is disposed on an inside of the cushion to provide a barrier between folds of skin on the user's palm, thus further reducing the friction and impingements caused by the skin rubbing against itself. At least one groove defines an edge of the cushion, which is configured to prevent the edge of the cushion from digging into a user's hand when gripping an object. The band comprises elastic material, which allows the band to be worn in multiple configurations and flex to fit the unique shape of each individual user.
