A disposable finger mounted swab has an applicator end configured to contact a body part, natural orifice, open wound or surgical opening of a person or animal and an opening end arranged opposite the applicator end configured for receiving a finger of a user. An outer lining configured for direct contact with the body part, natural orifice, open wound or surgical opening of a person or animal. A water-resistant protective layer attached outer lining. A constricting band attached or integral with outer edges of the opening end of the disposable finger mounted swab and configured to maintain the swab in place on the finger during intended use. The swab may be packaged in a packet, wherein a substance for delivery using the swab is included in or upon the outer lining; the package or packet is hermetically sealed.

The method of protecting the protective gloves against contamination consists in placing at least one glove (2 of FIG. 1) in the container (1 of FIG. 1) made of waterproof material, preferably plastic, which is then sealed, whereas the cuff of at least one glove (2 of FIG. 3) is placed in the immediate vicinity of the glove removal hole (7 of FIG. 1), so that after detaching the closure, the glove (2 of FIG. 1) is gripped by the cuff. The container and the system used to implement this method is also the subject of the invention.

A disposable glove and a method for making the disposable glove that reduces or eliminates glove cuff roll-down. The disposable glove includes a treated area on the interior surface of the glove that extends from the hand area to a portion of the wrist-forearm area of the glove but such that at least a portion of the interior near the glove opening is untreated. The untreated portion of the interior surface of the disposable glove resists glove cuff roll-down when the glove is positioned on a user's hand and forearm.
