Abstract

A friction creating surgical glove system includes a cotton mesh superficial glove having a palmar portion, a thumb portion, a first finger portion, a second finger portion, a third finger portion, and a fourth finger portion, and a gauze pocket coupled to the cotton mesh superficial glove configured to house a radio-opaque liner.

Claims (42)

1. A friction creating surgical glove system, comprising:

a unitary cotton mesh superficial glove, comprising:

a palmar portion;

a thumb portion;

a first finger portion;

a second finger portion;

a third finger portion; and

a fourth finger portion; and

a gauze pocket coupled to the unitary cotton mesh superficial glove configured to house a radio-opaque liner.

2. The friction creating glove system of claim 1 , further comprising:

an elastomeric inner glove configured to couple to the unitary cotton mesh superficial glove.

3. The friction creating glove system of claim 1 , wherein the unitary cotton mesh superficial glove further comprises sterilized medical grade, natural cellulose fiber, cotton.

4. The friction creating glove system of claim 3 , wherein the sterilized medical grade, natural cellulose fiber, cotton has a 24×20 mesh size.

5. The friction creating glove system of claim 1 , wherein the unitary cotton mesh superficial glove further comprises:

a backhand portion.

6. The friction creating glove system of claim 5 , wherein the unitary cotton mesh superficial glove forms an outer layer including the palmar portion, the backhand portion, the thumb portion, the first finger portion, the second finger portion, the third finger portion, and the fourth finger portion.

7. The friction creating glove system of claim 1 , wherein each of the first finger portion, the second finger portion, the third finger portion, and the fourth finger portion are configured to have removeable fingertip portions.

8. The friction creating glove system of claim 7 , wherein the thumb portion is configured to have a removeable thumb tip portion.

9. The friction creating glove system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a sewn-in radio-opaque strip along the backhand portion of the unitary superficial cotton mesh glove.

10. A friction creating surgical glove apparatus, comprising:

a unitary cotton mesh superficial glove, comprising:

a palmar portion;

a thumb portion; and

a finger portion;

a gauze pocket coupled to the unitary cotton mesh superficial glove configured to house a radio-opaque liner; and

an elastomeric inner glove.

11. The friction creating surgical glove apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the unitary cotton mesh superficial glove further comprises sterilized medical grade, natural cellulose fiber, cotton.

12. The friction creating surgical glove apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the sterilized medical grade, natural cellulose fiber, cotton has a 24×20 mesh size.

13. The friction creating surgical glove apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the finger portion comprises a distal tip that is severable from a proximal portion of the finger portion.

14. The friction creating surgical glove apparatus of claim 10 , herein the thumb portion comprises a distal thumb tip that is severable from a proximal thumb portion of the thumb portion.

15. The friction creating surgical glove apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the radio-opaque liner comprises an RFID tag.

16. The friction creating surgical glove apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the radio-opaque liner comprises a liner material containing at least 55% barium sulfate.

17. The friction creating surgical glove apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the unitary cotton mesh superficial glove is bonded to the elastomeric inner glove along a binding portion of the elastomeric inner glove.

18. A method for donning a friction creating surgical glove, comprising:

donning, by a user, an elastomeric inner glove;

selecting, by the user, one or more fingertip portions of a unitary cotton mesh superficial glove for removal;

severing, by the user, the selected one or more fingertip portions of the unitary cotton mesh superficial glove; and

stretching, by the user, the unitary cotton mesh superficial glove over the elastomeric inner glove thereby forming the friction creating surgical glove.

19. The method for donning a friction creating surgical glove of claim 18 , wherein the unitary cotton mesh superficial glove comprises sterilized medical grade, natural cellulose fiber, cotton.

20. The method for donning a friction creating surgical glove of claim 18 , further comprising:

presenting, by the user, an RFID tag coupled to the friction creating surgical glove to an RF receiver.
