Abstract
Abstract A method and apparatus for providing antiseptically sterile hands for use in hospitals where germ transfer from one patient to another is to be avoided, this being accomplished by encapsulating an antiseptically presoaked glove and later removing the encapsulating material to provide the user with premoistened gloves to perform body massage and operating room functions free of fear that there may be germ transfer to a patient under care.

A method for providing sterilized protective gloves including the following steps, (a) immersing a saturable glove capable of fully enclosing a wearer's hand and adapted to cover separately each of a wearer's fingers and thumb in a solution having antiseptic qualities to saturate the said glove with said solution, (b) removing said saturable glove from said solution, (c) draining said glove of excess solution to provide a glove saturated with said antiseptic solution, (d) inserting said saturated glove between two layers of material having leakproof qualities, (e) sealing peripheral portions of said material to totally encapsulate said saturated antiseptic glove, (f) shearing said peripheral portions of said material that encapsulates said glove to expose for use by the wearer of the glove, said glove being saturated when removed and worn thereby providing the wearer with a hygenic glove saturated with said antiseptic solution which fully encloses the hand and separately covers each of a wearer's fingers and thumb and which will not allow contamination of said wearer's hands during the performance of routine operations.
