Skin-enhancing glove and method of manufacture

Abstract

A protective glove includes a coating of dehydrated material on its inside surface. The dehydrated material, in contact with perspiration from a hand wearing the glove, soothes the hand. Some methods of placing the coating onto the inside surface of the glove include spraying or dipping with a solution that includes Aloe Vera.

1 . A method of manufacturing a disposable examination glove, the method comprising the acts of: 
 forming a disposable glove from a natural rubber latex;    spraying the interior surface of said glove with substantially 100% Aloe Vera and a liquid carrier; and    evaporating the liquid carrier from the coating to form a dehydrated coating of Aloe Vera attached to the interior surface of said glove, so that the Aloe Vera contacts the hand of a person wearing said glove,    wherein said glove is made of a single layer of natural rubber latex prior to being sprayed.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said liquid carrier is water.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said interior surface of said glove is treated with chlorine prior to spraying said surface with Aloe Vera and a liquid carrier.  
     
     
         4 . A method of manufacturing a disposable examination glove, the method comprising the acts of: 
 forming a disposable glove from a single layer of natural rubber latex;    spraying an aqueous solution of Aloe Vera to the interior surface of said glove; and    removing the liquid carrier to form a dehydrated coating of Aloe Vera attached to the interior surface of said glove, so that the Aloe Vera contacts the hand of a person when wearing said glove,    turning the glove right side out, so that the dehydrated coating of Aloe Vera contacts the hand of a person when wearing said glove.
