Sanitary finger covers and dispenser
A dispenser of sanitary finger covers which are sanitized individually at the time of use. The system uses either a battery operated ultraviolet LED or spray disinfectant to automatically or manually sanitize the finger covers. The sanitary finger covers can be rapidly applied without contamination using a single finger. Removal and disposal are similarly rapid and easy. The finger covers are inexpensive and may be made from a variety of readily available and biodegradable materials. The dispenser is lightweight and portable. It can be carried by the user or attached to their uniform. The dispenser can be easily replenished with finger covers once empty, using a provided cartridge prefilled with finger covers.

APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING DONNING A GARMENT
The present invention relates to an apparatus (800) arranged for facilitating donning a garment (52) comprising a cuff on a part of a human body. The apparatus (800) comprises a at least one cuff opening arrangement (600, 700) arranged to open a cuff of a garment (52). The at least one cuff opening arrangement (600, 700) comprises a first (100) and a second (200) cuff opening assembly, each comprising a first (110, 210) and a second (120, 220) arm which are arranged to rotate around a first (GA1) and a second (GA2) geometrical axis, respectively. When the first (110, 210) and second (120, 220) arms are inserted into a cuff of the garment (52) and rotated around the first (GA1) and second (GA2) geometrical axes, respectively, the first (110, 210) and second (120, 220) arms are separated such that the cuff of the garment (52) is expanded. Thereby, facilitating donning the garment (52) on a part of a human body.
Disposable garment and donning system
A donning system allows a user to don disposable garments without contaminating the exterior of the garment. The disposable garment is part of a garment package, which also includes a cuff by which the garment is loaded into and dispensed from the donning system. The cuff includes elements whereby multiple garments are simultaneously loaded, but the garments are dispensed and donned one at a time. The donning system can include multiple cartridges allowing the user to don multiple garments simultaneously, such as right and left gloves or shoe covers. The donning system can include multiple chambers allowing the system to dispense garments of different sizes.
Examination glove donning machine
The examination glove donning machine is a mechanical device. The examination glove donning machine is configured for use with one or more hands of a patient. The examination glove donning machine comprises a housing, an elastomeric sheeting, a vacuum pump, and a laser cutting device. The housing contains the elastomeric sheeting, the vacuum pump, and the laser cutting device. The elastomeric sheeting forms a barrier around a hand of the patient. The vacuum pump creates a vacuum that draws the elastomeric sheeting around the hand of the patient. The laser cutting device cuts the elastomeric sheeting as it is drawn against the hand of the patient such that the examination glove is formed while on the hand of the patient. The examination glove donning machine simultaneously dons an examination glove on up to two hands of a patient.
Double gloves
A glove assembly including two or more elastomeric gloves removably attached to one another, said two or more gloves attached to one another by a graspable attachment member, and a method of simultaneously inserting a hand into two or more elastomeric gloves. Previously known double gloving required users to put each glove on one at a time, which could require a significant amount of time and may risk exposing the first glove to contaminants. Removably attaching the inner and outer gloves of the present disclosure may allow a user to easily don both gloves simultaneously, which allows the user to don both gloves in less time than previously known methods of double gloving.
Latex Glove Inflation Assembly
A latex glove inflation assembly includes a housing that is fluidly coupled to a vacuum source for purging the housing of air. The housing has a pair of glove apertures extending into an interior of the housing. A plurality of engagements is each distributed around a respective one of the glove apertures. Each of the engagements engages a wrist opening on a respective pair of latex gloves when the engagements are turned on. The latex gloves are inflated when the housing is purged of air thereby facilitating a user to insert their hands into the gloves. Each of the engagements releases the latex gloves when the engagements are turned off. A release is coupled to the housing and the release facilitates air to fill the housing when the release is turned on thereby facilitating each of the latex gloves to deflate around the user's hands.
