CA 2224181

A puncture evident surgical glove (1) having an integral indicator (2) by which to visually and instantaneously alert the wearer of the need to re-glove should the structural integrity of the glove (1) be compromised by a tear or puncture. Outer and inner membranes (4, 6) are spaced from one another around the finger area (22) of the glove (1) to define a hermetically sealed air inlet path. The indicator (2) is adapted to have either a relaxed, inflated condition at which the indicator (2) is filled with air or a compressed, evacuated condition at which air is expulsed from the indicator (2) to the atmosphere. The indicator (2) is initially in the compressed, evacuated condition. However, should the finger area (22) of the glove (1) be punctured or torn, the indicator (2) will automatically be filled with air and recover from the compressed, evacuated condition to the relaxed, inflated condition.

Cette invention concerne un gant chirurgical (1) qui permet d'indiquer les perforations et qui possède un indicateur intégré (2). Cet indicateur permet d'alerter visuellement et instantanément l'utilisateur afin de lui indiquer qu'il doit changer de gant dans le cas où l'intégrité structurelle de celui-ci (1) est compromise suite à un déchirement ou à une perforation. Des membranes externes et internes (4, 6), qui sont espacées l'une de l'autre, entourent la zone doigt (22) du gant de manière à définir une voie d'admission d'air hermétique. L'indicateur (2) peut se trouver soit à l'état libre et gonflé durant lequel il est rempli d'air, soit à l'état comprimé et vidé durant lequel l'air en est expulsé et évacué dans l'atmosphère, ledit indicateur (2) se trouvant initialement à l'état comprimé et vidé. Toutefois, dans le cas d'une perforation ou d'un déchirement de la zone doigt (22) du gant (1), l'indicateur (2) va se remplir automatiquement d'air et passer de l'état comprimé et vidé à l'état libre et gonflé.
