A disposable glove having grip enhancing features is described. It includes an interior surface, an exterior surface, and a grip enhancing section having a grip enhancing pattern defined thereon. The grip enhancing pattern is formed from a diamond pattern embossed on said exterior surface of the glove. The diamond pattern comprises individual diamonds that are in close proximity to one another. The grip enhancing section comprises the exterior surface of said glove.

An apparatus for dispensing a disposable glove and applying it to the hand of a user in which a stream of air drawn into an enclosed glove applying chamber through a constricted opening aligned with the heel of the glove inflates the topmost glove in a stack of gloves in the chamber so that a user can readily insert his hand into the glove. After the user has donned the glove on the hand, a wall of the chamber is opened to permit the user to readily withdraw his hand from the glove applying chamber while the air flow which originally inflated the top-most glove is disrupted. Upon closures of the chamber wall, the re-established air flow automatically inflates the next lower glove in the glove stack to prepare the next glove for receipt of another hand. The apparatus alternatively or in addition includes a glove removal chamber arranged to remove a glove from a gloved hand using a stream of air drawn into the glove removal chamber.

Single layer and multi-layer anti-microbial wound care fabrics, gloves, sleeves, anklets, socks, finger cots, masks, and similar wound care articles are disclosed.

A glove matrix and method of making gloves from a web of material, which leaves no scrap from the web of material. A first sheet of material is overlaid on a second sheet of material forming a web. First and second glove patterns are formed in the web are arranged to be opposite one another in the cross machine direction of the web. A sinusoidal cut can be made in the web in the machine direction to form glove patterns opposite each other in the cross machine direction.

A composite film includes a composite blend layer including a water-soluble synthetic thermoplastic polymer and blocking particles, wherein the blocking particles are nanoclay particles or talc particles, and wherein the composite film is free of compatibilizers. In addition, a laminate film consists of two layers, wherein the first layer is a composite blend layer including polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) and blocking particles, wherein the blocking particles are nanoclay particles or talc particles, and wherein the second layer is a polyolefin film layer in facing relationship with the composite blend layer, wherein the laminate is free of compatibilizers. These films can be used to manufacture a glove or other article for solvent resistance.
