| Abstract: |
A surgical-type glove and illuminator assembly particularly adapted for use by health care professionals when examining or operating upon an anatomical part of a patient. A spotlighting illuminator is securely mounted on the fingers portion of the glove and oriented to project a light beam distally of the glove toward the work surface when the glove is in use. The illuminator may have a self-contained light source, or utilize fiber optic-transmitted light from a light source remote from the glove.
