The present invention is directed to glove inflation apparatuses and methods for dinning sterile gloves. The aparatuses includes at least one vacuum chamber that has an opening sized and shaped for receiving a glove and for establishing a fluid-tight seal between the glove and the vacuum chamber. The apparatuses further includes a vacuum pump which is connected to the chamber and a source of compressed gas which is in fluid communication with the glove. The apparatues further includes a switch that is connected to the pump and the source of compressed gas. The switch has two states. In the first state, the switch permits the pump to evacuate the chamber. In the second statem the switch permits the source of compressed gas to expel the glove from the opening of the chamber. The methods for donning s sterile glove include the steps of securing a cuff portion of a glove onto an opening of a vacuum chamber to establish a fluid-tight seal between the glove and the vacuum chamber, creating a vacuum in the vacuum chamber so as to inflate the glove, placing a hand in the inflated glove, and applying positive pressure to the cuff portion of the glove to release the glove from the opening of the vacuum chamber.

La présente invention concerne un appareil pour gonfler des gants et des procédés pour mettre des gants stériles. L'appareil comprend au moins une chambre à vide qui comprend des ouvertures dont la forme et la taille sont conçues pour recevoir un gant et créer un joint imperméable aux liquides entre le gant et la chambre à vide. L'appareil comprend en outre une pompe à vide connectée à la chambre et une source de gaz comprimé qui se trouve en communication fluidique avec le gant. L'appareil comprend également un interrupteur connecté à la pompe et la source de gaz comprimé. L'interrupteur présente deux états. Dans le premier état, le commutateur permet à la pompe de vider la chambre. Dans le deuxième état, le commutateur permet à la source de gaz comprimé d'éjecter le gant depuis l'ouverture de la chambre. Les procédés pour mettre des gants stériles consistent en ce qui suit: fixer la partie poignet du gant sur l'ouverture d'une chambre à vide pour créer un joint imperméable aux liquides avec la chambre à vide, créer un vide dans la chambre à vide de manière à gonfler le gant, placer une main dans le gant gonflé et appliquer une pression positive à la partie poignet du gant pour libérer le gant de l'ouverture de la chambre à vide.
