This invention offers a fully protective cowl neck garment with various fasteners designed to attach additional protective gear, such as gloves and shoe coverings. Additionally, a temperature sensor shield is located on the hat and protective mask. This allows the clients or patients the ability to see and to monitor the temperature of their caregivers. The caregiver's temperature is visible on the hat, as well as the face mask. This makes the caregivers accountable to their clients or patients, as well as their colleagues and coworkers. This invention eliminates the worry of contact with infectious diseases or dangerous liquids, by utilizing elastic manual ties and hook-and-loop fasteners to ensure the garment is secured fully on a user's body. Overall, this invention ensures medical professionals, firemen, emergency medical personnel, government workers, and so forth, are protected fully from contagious and infectious diseases, liquids, and so forth.

A protective cuff is fixed in a pant leg or sleeve of a protective garment. The protective cuff includes a fluid/particulate/water dam fixed around an interior circumference of a pant leg or sleeve of a protective garment at an attachment location that is spaced upwardly from a lowermost hem of the pant leg or sleeve. The dam includes a resilient opening to surround and snuggly engage another wearable piece of protective equipment or a wearer's limb received in the opening. A length of loose material extends from the attachment location to the resilient opening to surround the wearable piece of protective equipment or the wearer's limb received in the opening. An anti-wicking guard extends from the lowermost hem to the attachment location and surrounding the interior of the pant leg or sleeve.

The present inventive concept relates to a sealing arrangement for garments to sealingly connect an annular layer and a wearable layer to the sealing arrangement. The sealing arrangement comprises a sealing device and a reinforcement clip. The sealing device comprises an annular sealing body and an annular base, the latter having inner and outer annular wall portions at least partly defining a recess in the annular base. The sealing device comprises an annular sealing surface for circumferentially and sealingly connecting the annular layer to the annular base, and the annular sealing body is adapted to be locked into the recess to circumferentially and sealingly connect the wearable layer between the annular base and the annular sealing body. The reinforcement clip comprises a sealing device locking portion arranged at a first end portion of the reinforcement clip and arranged to be locked to at least one of the inner and outer annular wall portions, a counter acting portion arranged at a second end portion of the reinforcement clip, which is configured to, in use, counter act a relative movement of the outer and inner annular wall portions whereby the risk of the annular sealing body to be released from the recess is reduced.

A system for enhancing sterility. The system includes a first surgical glove comprising an upper glove portion and a lower glove portion. A surgical garment comprising at least one surgical garment cuff, and a sealing device comprising a first adhesive. The first adhesive of the sealing device is configured to be affixed between an inside surface of the lower portion of the first surgical glove and an outside surface of the at least one surgical garment cuff so as to provide a fluid seal between the first surgical glove and the at least one surgical garment cuff of the surgical garment.

A fluid management method and system, includes: a garment having a sleeve extending from a shoulder portion of the garment, the sleeve having an interior surface and an exterior surface; and a cuff member attached to the exterior surface of the sleeve, the cuff member comprising a flap having a foldable portion and a seam portion, wherein: the seam portion is attached to the exterior surface of the sleeve by a seaming weld, the foldable portion is configured to be placed in a folded position in which it covers the seam portion and an unfolded position in which it extends proximally outwardly from the seam portion and does not cover the seam portion, the seam portion is configured to receive thereon a first O-ring of a first protective glove worn by a user of the fluid management system, and wherein the seam portion prevents distal sliding of the first O-ring.

A surgical glove tape comprises an elongate strip of material, an adhesive, and a release liner. In particular, the elongate strip of material is comprised of a combination of cotton and spandex. The elongate strip of material has a first major surface and a second major surface. Moreover, the elongate strip of material is further characterized by a tab section extending from a first end of the elongate strip of material, and a taping section extending from the tab section. The adhesive coats the second major surface of the elongate strip of material within the taping section of the elongate strip of material. The release liner overlies the adhesive.

A sealing arrangement that has an annular base portion and a pair of first and second flexible sleeve portions extending from the annular base portion and configured to form corresponding first and second sealing connector portions, respectively. Each of the flexible sleeve portions has a proximal portion and a distal portion in relation to the annular base portion, said proximal portions extending radially spaced apart from the annular base portion, wherein the second flexible sleeve portion is configured to be turnable about an annular imaginary line and between an open position and a sealing-connecting position relative to the first flexible sleeve portion, in which at least a portion of the second flexible sleeve portion is superposed the first flexible sleeve portion. The first and second flexible sleeve portions are further configured to form a friction fit over a portion of an annular flexible wearable layer in said sealing-connecting position.

A seal for a gas treatment hood assembly is disclosed. The hood assembly is placeable over a user's head for treating a user with a gas such as oxygen. The assembly may have a neck ring around a user's neck with an elastomeric, tubular neck seal with one end of the neck seal connected to the neck ring and the other end configured to fit around the user's neck. The neck seal may have a double sealing element construction and may also have variable thickness along a sidewall for enhanced structural properties and improved patient comfort. The seal and hood assembly may be used in providing oxygen to a patient in a hyperbaric chamber.

The invention relates to a bidirectional device for changing a handling glove from the inside towards the outside and from the outside towards the inside of a glove box under containment. The device is intended for replacing a used glove (60) with a new glove. The device comprises a cuff (6) sealingly connected to a cuff sleeve (20) and a glove (60) made of a flexible material sealingly connected to a glove sleeve (40). The glove sleeve comprises snap-fitting studs on the outside and the cuff sleeve comprises axial ramps (30). The snap-fitting studs of the glove sleeve slide in the axial ramps of the cuff sleeve until the glove sleeve is locked, forming, once assembled, a sealed assembly referred to as cuff port (10).
