| Abstract: |
A penetration resistant hand protector for medical applications comprising a glove having an exterior and an interior side. The glove also has stalls terminating with tip ends for four fingers and a thumb, a front palm side and a back side, and is formed from a cut resistant material. A puncture resistant covering is attached to at least two of the stalls of the four fingers and the thumb. The puncture resistance covering extends on the exterior side of tho glove to cover the fingers and thumbs on the palm side of the glove from at least the tip of the fingers to a point just below the attachment area of the finger to the palm of the hand so as to protect the fingers of the hand without inhibiting flexure of the palm portion of the glove. The cut resistant material is a composite formed from a resilient core and an outer winding of cut resistant fiber.
