| Abstract: |
A thin gauge elastomeric glove is disclosed which is particularly suited for use by surgeons. The glove fits the hand snugly in the finger, thumb, palm, and knuckle portions, but there is provided an outwardly directed bulge in the back of the glove to cover the metacarpal bone portion of the hand. The bulge comprises a "reservoir" of extra material that provides for material flow to the palm and knuckle areas when the hand is closed. This minimizes tightness in the knuckle and palm areas, and permits the surgeon's hand to be relaxed and not stressed by the glove in the closed position.
