A multi-layer antibacterial glove for providing effective and fashionable protection against germs includes a glove body comprising an inner layer, a second layer, a third layer, and an outer layer. The inner layer is breathable and is configured to form fit a user's hand. The second layer is continuously disposed around the inner layer. The second layer is moisture-resistant. The third layer continuously disposed around the second layer and is antibacterial. The outer layer is continuously disposed around the third layer. The outer layer is a fashionable or functional glove material.

Protective Sleeve slip on device held by elastic to protect the arm and hand. This Protective sleeve is loose fitting and retractable and worn independently or concealed under or outside of clothing. The Protective sleeve is manufactured in any size or any length to fit over the hand. The elastic band sewn at one open end allows for an opening part to slip on while the other end is left open covering the hand in the extended position. The Protective Sleeve moves up and down the forearm, wrist and hand to allow for multiple forms of protection. This Protective Sleeve in any extended position; that covers the hand, allows for protection to the hand when holding or touching any surface, item or bodily parts.

A method of making an antimicrobial composite article, including the steps: providing a matrix comprising a polymeric material; providing a plurality of second phase particles comprising an antimicrobial agent; melting the matrix to form a matrix melt; distributing the plurality of second phase particles in the matrix melt at a second phase volume fraction to form a composite melt; forming a composite article from the composite melt; and treating the composite article to form an antimicrobial composite article having an exterior surface comprising an exposed portion of the matrix and the plurality of second phase particles. The distributing step can employ an extrusion process. The forming a composite article step can employ an injection molding process. The treating step can employ abrading and plasma-treating the article to define the exterior surface.

A garment with selective compression may include multiple regions associated with different parts of a user's body, such as the arms, chest, midsection, buttocks, and legs. Each region of the garment may have a different level of compression. Higher levels of compression may provide support and alter the shape of the associated body part, while lower levels of compression may provide a smooth appearance without altering shape. By having selective compression levels for each region, the garment can smooth or shape different parts of the user's body in order to achieve a user's desired appearance, in addition to selectively providing different levels of support and increasing overall comfort and functionality.

The invention relates to multifunctional face masks/coverings, compositions used in the multifunctional face masks, alternatively solutions of the compositions, manufacturing methods. The multifunctional face mask includes at least one composite layer comprising at least one layer of a nonwoven material and a composition coupled to the at least one layer of the nonwoven material such that the at least one composite layer is super-hydrophilic, adhesive, antiviral and/or antibacterial to trap and/or deactivate one or more of airborne virus, bacteria, pollen particles, and hazardous chemicals. The composition comprises food-grade adhesives, biodegradable adhesives, anions and/or cations of antivirus salts, antifreeze agents, moisture-holding substances, or a combination of them.

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.

An antimicrobial fabric formed of fibers containing nano-sized particles of zinc on a surface of the fibers. Various articles made from the fabric are also disclosed.
