Claim |
Having thus described my invention what I claim is:
1. A protective mitten for the hand when the same is coated with a moist medication, said mitten comprising:
- an inner layer, fabricated of a material selected from a group of materials consisting of rubber, polyvinyl chloride, and polyethylene and wherein the inner material is a semi-permeable moisture-proof membrane allowing air to pass therethrough but retaining moisture within said mitten; and
- an outer layer fabricated from a material selected from a group of woven materials consisting of cotton, nylon and polyester or a combination thereof;
- said inner and outer layers being laminated together to form a seamless mitten which defines a cavity therebetween to receive and loosely enclose said hand, said cavity having a first section adapted to receive the thumb of said hand and a second section adapted to receive the remaining fingers of said hand, said laminated layers having an opening through which said hand extends, said laminated layers having an elastic ring fitting around said opening to form a seal between said inner layer and the wrist of said hand for retaining the medication and perspiration within said cavity whereby said hand remains moist.
