Abstract:
An Aloe Vera glove manufacturing method is disclosed which uses a flow of compressed air to blow semi-finished inner-surface-out status gloves away from respective glove formers, and then covers a layer of Aloe Vera solution on the inner surface of each glove, and then has the Aloe Vera solution on the inner surface of each glove be dried by heating, and finally has the Aloe Vera-coated gloves be reversed to keep the layer of Aloe Vera coated inner surface of each glove face on the inside and the outer surface of each glove face on the outside.

Abstract:
An indwelling urinary drainage catheter () includes synthetic polyisoprene rubber (SPIR). Advantageously, the SPIR catheter can meet the tensile and resiliency requirements of Foley applications while avoiding the risk of allergic reactions in sensitive patients. The SPIR comprises an accelerator system that uses a carbamate as the only accelerator, a guanidine as the only accelerator, a combination of guanidine and carbamate accelerators, a combination of carbamate and thiazole accelerators, or a combination of guanidine, carbamate and thiazole accelerators.
Multilayered Gloves Having Enhanced Barrier Protection
A type of multilayered glove consisting of an inner layer, an outer layer, and pigments between the layers is disclosed. The layers can be made of the same or different materials to incorporate desired barrier properties such as oil or chemical resistance to a glove. The layers can also be made of the same or different colors. The glove can have the same physical barrier protection as wearing two gloves, but without the discomfort of wearing two gloves. The glove enhances barrier protection and allows users to detect any breach of the outer layer during the surgical procedure, which enables the user to execute corrective actions before cross contamination occurs.

Abstract:
Methods for the deposition of silver-comprising films on nonconducting substrates, and, more particularly, to deposition of such films that are very thin, are provided. The surface of nonconducting substrates is modified with a superabsorbent polymer to increase silver deposition when compared to a non-modified surface. Also provided are films produced using a swelling agent, whereby porosity of the surface of the nonconducting substrate is increased, thereby permitting increased silver deposition when compared to an unmodified surface.
