The present invention relates generally to the field of medical gloves. More specifically, the present invention relates to a medical glove-catching device that is preferably manufactured from a rigid plastic material and has a body that is comprised of a front wall and a generally parallel rear wall with a curved lip, a bottom wall and a first side wall and generally parallel second side wall. The lip can further be placed on the bottom edge of an opening in the front surface of a COW (wherein a glove box is located) such that the device is removably-secured in a position below the opening and glove box. The body further has an interior space formed by the walls that passively catches any gloves that are unintentionally dropped when being pulled out from the glove box

A dispenser, apparatus, system and method for automatically dispensing portable or sterile items from a continuous length of packages of items ideally packaged as a stack, including a support shaped and configured to support the stack, a feed mechanism arranged in flow communication relative to the support for feeding the stack towards a dispensing point, a separation means extending from the feed mechanism, shaped and configured for separating an item from the stack at the dispensing point, an electric motor configured to drive the feed mechanism; and a sensor shaped and configured to detect a dispensing parameter, wherein in use, the dispenser is activated by a user providing the dispensing parameter to the sensor thereby activating the feed mechanism to automatically feed the stack towards the dispensing point such that the separation means separates the item from stack thereby allowing for the item to be dispensed.

A glove application system includes a glove application module providing a housing that defines an install cavity and an access aperture providing access into the install cavity, a pressure system that generates negative and positive pressures in the install cavity, and a glove cartridge assembly mounted to the housing and including a cartridge belt having a plurality of glove cartridges spaced along the cartridge belt, each glove cartridge having a glove releasably secured to the cartridge belt. The glove cartridge assembly is operable to advance the cartridge belt to sequentially align each glove cartridge with the access aperture. Negative pressure generated by the pressure system causes a glove aligned with the access aperture to inflate into the install cavity, and positive pressure generated by the pressure system causes the glove to seat against a hand extended into the glove through the access aperture.

Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for a water soluble hygienic glove. The glove includes a first layer, a second layer, an opening and a sealed perimeter. The opening is adapted to accommodate insertion of a user's hand into the opening and into a formed cavity. All possible shapes of gloves are considered. One embodiment has an outer perimeter designed for dispensing gloves in a role where each glove has an outer perimeter in a rectangular form and joined through a line of perforations which can be easily torn to separate a glove. The user easily inserts a hand in the glove for subsequent cleaning of the rectal area or other areas of an individual and then disposes of the used glove in a flush toilet where it readily dissolves in the presence of water. The glove is convenient and safe for conventional septic systems and/or sewage treatment facilities. The present invention further considers storage and dispensing devices. Other embodiments incorporate the use of germicidal agents and drying agents. The system is applicable in commercial restrooms or bathrooms in private homes.

A container is provided for receipt of boxes of medical gloves or other consumables. The container includes a box holder having a dispensing opening in a front panel of the box holder and a movable cover or tray which can be moved from a first or undeployed condition to a second or deployed condition in which the movable cover or tray extends outwardly from a front panel of the box holder and can catch any medical gloves fallen from the boxes before they land on the ground and are contaminated. The movable panel may be pivotally mounted to and/or extendable from the box holder. When pivotally mounted to the box holder, the movable panel covers the dispending opening in the front panel and protects the medical gloves from dust and other contaminants when the movable panel is in the first or undeployed condition.

A glove dispensing assembly includes a stack of interfolded gloves. In particular, the gloves are folded in an S-like arrangement having at least two folds per glove. The glove dispensing assembly additionally may include a soft, collapsible dispenser made of an elastomeric material to contain the stack of gloves. A method of assembling the glove dispensing assembly with the dispenser containing the stack of interfolded gloves is also provided.
