| Abstract: |
A glove for use by medical personnel which is adapted to help prevent accidental injuries when handling needles includes a first discrete layer of flexible material which has a pore size smaller than the diameter of a needle. The first layer forms a glove with at least an opening in the fingerprint area of the index finger stall and middle finger stall. The glove also includes a second discrete layer of flexible material which also has a pore size which is smaller than the diameter of a needle. This second layer is permanently attached to selected areas of the first layer. The selected areas comprise all of the thumb stall, and lateral sides of the index finger stall and middle finger stall.

What is claimed is:
1. A glove for use by medical personnel to protect them from accidental injuries when handling needles which is adapted to cover substantially the entire hand from the wrist to the fingertips which comprises:
- a first discrete layer of a flexible material having a pore size which is smaller than the diameter of a needle and which forms a glove including four finger stalls and a thumb stall, said first layer including at least two openings, one in the fingerprint area of the index finger stall and the second in the fingerprint area of the middle finger stall, and
- a second discrete layer of flexible material having a pore size which is smaller than the diameter of a needle, said second layer being permanently attached to selected areas of said first layer of material to provide said selected areas with sufficient thickness to prevent needle penetration under normal conditions encountered when handling needles, said selected areas comprising all of said thumb stall, and lateral sides of said index finger stall and said middle finger stall.
