Abstract:

This study examines the role of cut-resistant, “orthopedic-type” gloves in prevention of exposure of surgical personnel to infectious body fluids through surgical glove perforation. The incidence of glove perforations in 12 consecutive cases of intermaxillary fixation (IMF) was studied. Surgeons were double-gloved with standard latex gloves and wore cut-resistant gloves between the outer and inner gloves. As controls, six cadaver heads were wired into IMF with surgeons double-gloving without the cut-resistant glove. The rates of latex glove perforation were then compared between the two groups. Fifty-three percent (32 of 60) of outer latex gloves, but no inner latex gloves (0 of 50) were perforated when surgeons wore cut-resistant gloves. In the control group, 45% of outer gloves (9 of 20) and 15% of inner gloves (3 of 20) were perforated. The difference of inner glove perforations—hence cutaneous exposure—between these two groups was statistically significant (p nlt; 0.01). The use of cut-resistant gloves in addition to double-gloving with latex surgical gloves is recommended for facial plastic and reconstructive procedures with metal implants and major head and neck surgery, because these operations have a high rate of glove perforation. Because some loss of dexterity is noted when cut-resistant gloves are worn, the risk of glove perforation must be weighted against the need for optimal dexterity.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of surgical gown and glove wear on carpal tunnel pressure. The authors hypothesized that gowning and gloving is associated with an increase in carpal tunnel pressure in cadaveric specimens wearing appropriately sized gloves. Furthermore, they hypothesized that increased glove thickness, double gloving, and smaller-than-appropriately sized gloves would all serve to increase carpal tunnel pressure. Materials and Methods Baseline carpal tunnel pressure measurements were obtained in 11 cadaveric specimens. Each specimen was subsequently gowned and gloved. Carpal tunnel pressures were obtained for each specimen fitted with four different types of gloves in four scenarios: (1) appropriately sized gloves, (2) one full-size smaller, (3) one full-size larger, and (4) double gloved. Results Mean carpal tunnel baseline value was 3.5 mm Hg. Appropriately sized single-glove wear more than doubled baseline carpal tunnel pressure. Double gloving and smaller-than-appropriately sized glove wear more than tripled baseline values. Among the single-glove subgroup, the thickest gloves (ortho) were associated with the highest increase in pressure from baseline values. Conclusion Glove selection can have repercussions related to carpal tunnel pressure. Susceptible surgeons should consider these factors when making decisions regarding intraoperative glove wear.

Abstract:

Almost all the evaluative tests are one time performance tests, with the difference between gloved performance and bare handed performance being attributed to gloves. However, in real industrial tasks people don gloves for an extended period of time. It is possible that the length of time has an effect on overall glove comfort. The research objective of this study came out of the aforementioned argument. What is the most appropriate test time for evaluation of gloves? Three experiments were performed to evaluate this issue. Experiment one consisted of battery of one time evaluation test, while experiment two evaluated glove comfort when they were donned for an hour, and experiment three was a repeat of experiment two for eight hours. In summary, it appears that glove effect is not consistent with time. In other words, gloves may yield different levels of discomfort with use. Also, two hours appear to be the most appropriate test time for glove evaluation

Abstract:

The ability of selected dexterity and cutaneous sensibility tests to measure the effect of medical glove properties (material, fit, and number of layers) on manual performance was analyzed. Manual performance testing of gloves to-date has focused on thicker gloves where the effects are more obvious. However, clinicians have reported dissatisfaction with some medical gloves and a perceived detriment to performance of new materials compared to latex. Three tests (Purdue Pegboard Test, Crawford Small Parts Dexterity Test, and Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments) were performed by 18 subjects in five hand conditions (ungloved; best-fitting, loose-fitting and a double layer of latex examination gloves; best-fitting vinyl gloves). Tests were performed in the ungloved condition first, and the order of the gloved tests was randomized. Learning behavior was also measured. The Purdue test showed a significant effect of hand condition, but no differences between latex and vinyl. No significant effect of hand condition was found in the Crawford “Pins and Collars” test, but the “Screws” test showed promising discrimination between glove types. The Monofilaments test showed a significant effect of hand condition on cutaneous sensibility, particularly a reduction when “double-gloving,” but no significant differences between glove types. Existing tests show some ability to measure the effect of gloves and their properties on manual performance but are not comprehensive and require further validation. In order to fully describe the effects of medical gloves on manual performance, further tests should be designed with greater resolution and that better replicate clinical manual tasks.

Abstract:

The effectiveness of vibration-reducing (VR) gloves is conventionally assessed based on the vibration transmissibility of the gloves. This study proposed a method for analyzing and assessing the effectiveness of VR gloves based on how gloves affect the vibration power absorption (VPA) of the hand–arm system and its distribution. A model of the entire tool–handle–glove–hand–arm system was used to predict the VPA distributed in the glove and across the substructures of the hand–arm system. The ratio of the gloved-VPA and ungloved-VPA in each group of system substructures was calculated and used to quantify VR glove effectiveness, which was termed the VPA-based glove vibration transmissibility in this study. The VPA-based transmissibility values were compared with those determined using to-the-hand and on-the-hand methods. Three types of gloves (ordinary work glove, gel VR glove, and air bubble VR glove) were considered in the modeling analyses. This study made the following findings: the total VPA-based transmissibility spectrum exhibits some similarities with those determined using the other two methods; the VPA-based transmissibility for the wrist–forearm–elbow substructures is identical to that for the upper–arm–shoulder substructures in the model used in this study; each of them is equal to the square of the glove vibration transmissibility determined using the on-the-wrist method or on-the-upper-arm method; the other substructure-specific VPA-based transmissibility spectra exhibit some unique features; the effectiveness of a glove for reducing the overall VPA in the hand–arm system depends on the glove effectiveness for absorbing the vibration energy, which seems to be associated primarily with the glove cushioning materials; the glove may also help protect the fingers or hand by redistributing the VPA across the hand substructures; this redistribution seems to be primarily associated with the glove structural properties, especially the tightness of fit for the glove.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives Healthcare workers often have unnoticed minor abrasions on their hands, putting them at risk of contracting infectious diseases from patients, if the integrity of the medical gloves is compromised. This study aimed to compare the rate and location of glove perforation between well-fitted and ill-fitted gloves. Methods The participants of this cross-sectional study were 45 midwives in the maternity ward of a hospital in Shiraz city, Iran. A total of nine pairs of medical gloves including three pairs of fit size, three pairs of gloves with one size smaller (tight), and three pairs of gloves with one size larger (loose) were given to subjects, and asked them to use the gloves during episiotomy repair operations. After completing the task, all gloves were collected safely and gloves perforation was investigated based on water test (NF EN 455-1). Results The perforation rate of the fit, tight, and loose medical gloves was 20, 37.78, and 34.81%, respectively. The results showed a significant difference between glove perforation of different glove sizes (P &lt; 0.05). In general, there was a significant difference between the perforation rate of the fit glove and ill-fitted gloves (P = 0.013). Conclusions Wearing the wrong size gloves may increase the glove perforation rate. Providing a wide range of glove sizes by the hospital management, and choosing the best glove size can be very effective in reducing the glove perforation and increasing safety for healthcare workers and patients.

Abstract:

The focus of this research was to investigate how grip strength and forearm muscle force were affected by two types of gloves, rubber and leather. Grip strength was significantly less in the two gloved conditions than in a barehanded condition. However, EMG analysis of muscle activity revealed no significant difference in muscle activity across the gloved and barehanded conditions, indicating that subjects generated maximal exertions in all conditions. Therefore, a certain amount of muscle force is lost in the hand-glove interface while producing maximal grip forces in the gloved conditions. Internal muscle force measurement could thus be used to aid in glove selection for submaximal tasks in industry.

Abstract:

Tomato good agricultural practices, mandatory guidelines in Florida, do not have specific regulations for glove use during tomato harvesting. The objective of the research reported here was to evaluate Salmonella transfer from contaminated gloves to tomatoes and vice versa upon single and subsequent touches. Experiments were performed using mature, green, round tomatoes with two types of gloves (reusable and single use) and two hygienic conditions of reusable glove (clean and dirty [fouled with tomato leaves]). The transfer scenarios used during experiments were glove to tomato, tomato to glove, and glove to up to 25 subsequently touched tomatoes. The inoculated surface (6 log CFU per surface), after drying for 24 h, touched the uninoculated surface for 5 s. Salmonella populations from gloves and tomatoes were enumerated on nonselective and selective agar supplemented with 80 μg/ml rifampin. Enrichments were performed when counts fell below the detection limit. The rates of Salmonella transfer to tomatoes during a single touch were similar for single-use and reusable gloves; transfer from tomatoes to gloves was higher to single-use gloves than to reusable gloves under wet (0 h) inoculation conditions. Dirty reusable gloves did not transfer more Salmonella than clean reusable gloves during single contact under any conditions. When a single glove was sequentially touched to multiple tomatoes, clean reusable gloves transferred higher levels of Salmonella to the first few tomatoes touched than did single-use gloves and dirty reusable gloves. As workers' gloves became dirty over time during harvest, the risk of Salmonella transfer to tomatoes did not increase.

Abstract:

Abstract Gloves are commonly used as personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect humans from contact of contamination of chemical substances and infection of disease such as Covid-19. The gloves markets including household gloves upsurged exponentially during the Covid-19 outbreak as the concern and awareness of safety and hygiene rises in the community. Hence, to ensure the safety and reliability of the product, quality control of the gloves must be efficient and accurate. However, most of the household glove manufacturers are still using manual visual inspection for quality control, which is unreliable and expensive as cost of labor are gradually increasing too. Therefore, the aim of the project is to develop an automated machine that can inspect varied sizes of household gloves and segregate the defective with non-defective gloves. With the implementation of automated glove inspection machine, the efficiency and return-of-investment for the glove inspection process can be increased. Throughout the project, the 3D model of the inspection device was developed and fabricated using 3D printing technology. Automated system of glove inspection and segregation was implemented on the inspection device. Then, the inspection device was tested on industrial defective gloves and self-made defective gloves with different diameters of pinholes. Results show that the inspection device was able to segregate all defective gloves from the non-defective gloves. The inspection device was duplicated with four more sets and mounted onto the rotating platform to complete the automated glove inspection machine. The final automated glove inspection machine can inspect and segregate five household gloves consecutively on each cycle to increase the efficiency and ROI of the quality control.

Abstract:

Gloves are used at workplaces to protect hands and fingers from potential hazards. Three types of work gloves were assessed in terms of the strength of grip, carrying, and lifting. Thirty adults (14 males and 16 females) joined as human participants. The strength data were measured under bare hand and three gloved conditions. The grip spans in the grip strength measurements included 45 mm, 55 mm, 65 mm, and 75 mm. The carrying strength was measured for both dominant and non-dominant hands under leg straight and semi-squat postural conditions. The lifting strength was measured at a semi-squat posture. The results showed that glove (p < 0.0001), grip span (p = 0.001), gender (p < 0.0001), and handedness (p < 0.0001) all affected grip strength significantly. Wearing the gloves tested in this study led to a decrease of grip strength up to 22.9%, on average, depending on gender, grip span, and hand tested. Wearing the cotton gloves led to a decrease of one-handed carrying strength ranged from 3.5% to 9.7% for female participants. All the participants took advantages in carrying strength when wearing the cut-resistant gloves. The leg lifting strength data indicated that the effects of the gloves were insignificant. The information of this study is beneficial for practitioners in the design of manual materials handling tasks concerning the use of work gloves.

Abstract:

A need for a more scientific approach to medical glove design, which incorporated performance requirements such as dexterity and tactility, was identified from discussions with manufacturers and a review of relevant literature. Based on the results of a review of existing test methods and interviews with a wide range of practitioners, a number of existing tests were identified for development and a number of new tests were proposed. The test apparatus and methods were designed, refined and validated with small groups of participants, allowing recommendations to be made for a battery of realistic, repeatable tests by which medical glove performance can be comprehensively characterised. The recommended tests covered three main areas of performance: manual dexterity, tactility, and grip and friction. As well as existing tests, including the Purdue Pegboard Test, the Crawford Small-Parts Dexterity Test and the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments, new tests were developed that better simulated the tasks carried out by practitioners, including a suturing test, the Simulated Medical Examination Tactility Test, the Pulse Location Test and the Roughness Perception Test. Apparatus was also designed to measure the effect of gloves on grasping forces and to compare static frictional properties of gloves. Grasp force and friction measurements were taken for examination gloves using human subjects and with a specially-designed anthropomorphic device. The results were compared with those obtained using a number of other friction measurement methods. There was little consistency between the test results, and none gave a definitive answer as to which glove produced the highest friction in any given situation. Further development of the apparatus and validation of the method was recommended, as well as a more comprehensive study of glove friction and the effects of lubrication. As part of the validation of the selected methods, analysis was carried out into the effect of glove material, thickness and fit on performance and the relationship between perceived and measured performance. Initial results suggested that glove fit had a greater effect on dexterity than tactility, with looser gloves reducing dexterity and tighter gloves reducing tactility. Glove thickness was found to be a significant factor in tactility, and in manual dexterity, where tactile feedback is required; thicker gloves and 'double-gloving' produced a reduction in tactility compared to thinner, single-layered gloves, and hence affected the ability to manipulate objects. Analysis of user perception of performance and of the effect of glove material properties did not produce clear trends. However, initial findings suggested that, contrary to user perception, natural rubber latex did not perform significantly better than alternatives such as nitrile and vinyl. A number of possible explanations for the discrepancy were proposed, and recommendations were made for future work with a larger sample size, including analysis of stress and fatigue levels and performing tests in lubricated conditions.

Abstract:

The project consists in develop a tool that make a classification of latex gloves taking into account the different features that make the difference between them using a Matlab code in machine learning. This project has the purpose to have a tool that classify those gloves in order to know in which market of the world they could be sold and at what price. So as to achieve this purpose, it is necessary to collect the data and prepare them to introduce in the code. The project can be divided in three different parts; the first one is to make a research of all the theory about latex gloves, achieve the basic fundamentals with the program Matlab and the theory about image processing and machine learning. After that, I will collect the 125 data and the features to take into account are if the gloves have black spots and if they are yellow or white colour. With all the material, it will possible to generate a code in Matlab to prepare all the data and finally, train a model with machine learning. After training this model, the classifier performed well, achieving 82% accuracy. However, it is not perfect because the main mistake has been in the images taken, some of the gloves had wrinkles, so the code detects them as black spots. That is why, as a future work, the quality of the images should be improved in order to not have wrinkles and hence improve the precision for the classifiers. Moreover, it has been proven that this tool can be implemented in the company that has provided the gloves. With that, his plan to sell gloves in Europe could be feasible if the bath of gloves accomplishes the required Acceptance Quality Limit but it has not been possible to prove because the gloves have not been randomly selected to carry out this project. Even so knowing that the code works, it could be applied to corroborate this fact.

Abstract:

Bioservo Technologies tillverkar mjuka robothandskar. En växande produktion har gjort att företaget har uttryckt ett behov av en inspektionslösning som ger kvantitativa, objektiva och tillförlitliga data om handskarnas förmåga. Den första uppgiften bestod av att bestämma vilken eller vilka parametrar som ska mätas och hur mätningar ska gå till. Huvuduppgiften var att designa och tillverka ett testsystem för Bioservos produkter som skulle kunna användas i deras nuvarande produktion. Två parametrar, fingerstyrka och fingersensorkalibrering, har tillsammans med en testmetod utvecklats från tillgänglig forskningslitteratur då inga standardiserade test finns för denna typ av produkt. En prototyp av testriggen har skapats, men den är inte lämpad för produktionen på grund av valda sensor- och datainsamlingskomponenter. Resultaten från testmätningar visar däremot på att systemet har potentiell nytta för företagets kvalitetsarbete. Rekommenderade komponenter och framtida arbete har beskrivits för att underlätta för Bioservo om de väljer att gå vidare med utvecklingen. Varför de dyrare rekommenderade produkterna inte användes diskuteras också eftersom det kan vara relevant för andra företag och organisationer som är intresserade av att göra tillförlitliga mätningar för första gången.<br>Bioservo Technologies is a producer of soft robotic gloves. Growing production volumes has made the company express the need for a product inspection solution that provides quantitative, objective, and reliable data regarding the gloves’ capabilities. The initial task consisted in determining which performance metric or metrics should be measured, as well as how measurements should be obtained. The main task was to design and manufacture a testing system for Bioservo’s products that could be implemented in their current production. Two metrics, finger strength and finger sensor calibration, along with a test method have been derived from available research literature as no standardised tests exist for this type of product. A protoype testing rig was created, but the sensor and data acquisition components used do not make it suitable for application. However, the results from test measurements do show that the system may have potential benefits for the company’s quality work. Recommended components and future work have been described, should Bioservo wish to proceed with development of the system. It is also discussed why the more expensive recommended products were rejected, which may be relevant for other companies and organisations that are interested in performing reliable measurements for the first time.

Abstract:

The SNO+ experiment is a multipurpose liquid scintillator detector whose rst goal is to measure neutrinoless double beta decay. This thesis describes two important components: simulations to optimize the time window for the prompt peak of an optical calibration source, the \laserball" and the search for gloves to handle calibration sources while maintaining stringent background conditions. Non-direct light found in laserball runs creates challenges for optical calibration. By changing the time pro le from the standard 4ns to an asymmetric pro le of +2 4 ns this contribution of non-direct light can be reduced up to 45%. Gloves provide an access point to manipulate calibration sources during deployment inside the detector and as barrier to 222Rn, a known background to the experiment. However, typical glove materials are found to permeate large amounts radon. Through a careful selection process the material Silver Shield was chosen for use in SNO+ with a permeation rate of 1:1 10 6 radon atoms/hour.

Abstract:

The fungus Hypocreopsis rhododendri forms orange-brown, distinctively lobed stromata on the stems of trees and shrubs. It is found both in Corylus avellana (hazel) scrub on the western fringe of Europe, and on understory shrubs in the Appalachian woodlands of eastern North America. On the basis of its narrow distribution and perceived threats to its Atlantic hazel habitat, H. rhododendri has been prioritised for conservation action in Scotland. A lack of knowledge regarding the species' ecology, however, presents a significant obstacle to effective conservation action. This thesis reports on investigations into the ecology of H. rhododendri, with the aim of providing a scientific basis upon which decisions regarding the species' conservation may be taken. The research yielded the following key findings:  Investigations into the population genetics of the fungus provided evidence of a genetic bottleneck in H. rhododendri's European population, and hinted at fairly recent gene flow between the species' European and North American populations. On this basis it is hypothesised that H. rhododendri established in Europe recently, following dispersal from North America.  Research into the genetic constitution of H. rhododendri's stromata, the distribution of its mycelia in stems and its ability to degrade wood in vitro provided strong support for the hypothesis that H. rhododendri is a superficial parasite of the wood decay fungus Pseudochaete corrugata.  Field surveying revealed that H. rhododendri has a fairly high rate of population turnover, with stromata typically surviving for less than two years. It also revealed that the species' distribution is not strongly influenced by the structure and exposure of its scrub habitat. In view of the above findings and the fact that conservation action is already being undertaken to conserve the species' Atlantic hazel habitat, it is not recommended that conservation action specifically targeted at H. rhododendri is carried out in Scotland.

Abstract:

This paper investigates the impedance spectroscopy technique in determining moisture content in Nitrile gloves. Interdigitated electrode was designed and fabricated, then evaluated on LCR Impedance meter subjected to frequency range of 100Hz, 120Hz, 1kHz, 10kHz, 20kHz and 100kHz. Samples of Nitrile gloves were compounded and prepared for different moisture content level and regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationships between capacitance and moisture content of the glove samples. Experimental results indicated that the capacitance value is a strong function of moisture content in gloves and also that the capacitance of moisture content in Nitrile gloves decreased with increasing drying time over the measured frequency range whilst statistical analysis results have confirmed that the 1kHz, 10kHz and 20kHz signal frequencies have highest reliable prediction of the nitrile gloves’ moisture content with high R^2 value of 0.96, 0.97 and 0.97, respectively. The ability to determine average moisture content of Nitrile gloves via a non-destructive and online method, utilizing a low-cost instrument, will be of considerable use in the glove industry. This method could also be extended to other types of gloves and rubber products. Keywords: Inter Digitated Electrode (IDE) sensor, Capacitive sensor, Field Device, Industry 4.0, Moisture content, Nitrile Glove

Abstract:

Most haptic gloves are complicated interfaces with many actuators. If the gloves were more compact and simpler, they would greatly increase our ability to interact with virtual worlds in a more natural way. This research explored design of force feedback gloves with a new finger mechanism. The mechanism enabled application of distributed forces at the bottom surface of the fingers while reducing the number of actuators. Most glove designs available in the literature apply a reaction force only to the fingertips. Two prototype gloves were built using (1) DC servo motors, and (2) brakes filled with magnetorheological fluid. The glove with MR-brakes is lighter and simpler than the one with motors. However, the glove with motors enabled much faster task completion times.

Abstract:

Intervention during an unintentional fire puts a tremendous weight on the shoulders of the heroic first responder—and while his/her safety equipment is often overlooked supposedly for practicality, fire-resistant gloves with better insulation and increased dexterity would help dramatically. We are developing gloves using two kinds of glove materials—each impregnated with a ternary material containing a flexible matrix and two fillers, one with very high thermal conductivity and the other surviving high temperatures. Extant first fire responder gloves contain Kevlar and/or leather, while our materials allow gloves ‘survival’ at temperatures significantly higher than that of the Kevlar or organic material thermal decomposition. Essential here also are low water absorption and high scratch resistance of the gloves.

Abstract:

Abstract Various studies in hand-arm vibrations have shown that isolators in the form of anti-vibration (AV) gloves are effective to reduce unwanted vibrations, transmitted to the human hand, from machines and hand tools. However, most of these studies are based on experimental or numerical analysis and hence, the level of effectiveness and optimum values of the glove’s properties remain unclear. In this work, we analytically study the dynamics of hand-arm vibrations with and without a glove using the harmonic balance method. The considered analytical models for the hand-arm vibration comprise of lumped multi-degree of freedom system. The hand-tool interactions are modeled as linear spring and damper system for simplicity and accordingly, we obtain the equations governing the dynamics of the human-hand system. We perform parametric analysis using this bio-mechanical model of the hand-arm vibrations with and without a glove. The parametric analysis on the relative transmissibility (i.e., the ratio of transmissibilities with glove to without glove) shows the dependence of the transmissibility on the glove parameters. We observe that the effect of glove parameters on the relative transmissibility is not monotonous for the studied frequency range. This observation further motivates us to perform optimization of the glove parameters to minimize the overall transmissibility.

Abstract:

Electronic gloves are one of the most common methods used as human hand input devices. They proved to be useful in various applications such virtual reality, sign language interpretation and robotic systems. However, many of these electronic gloves tend to be either economically or computationally expensive. In contrast, this article discusses the development of a data glove that is practical and cost efficient with wireless control capabilities. It is based on placing tri-axial tilt accelerometers on the glove to map the movement of human fingers. All data acquired from the glove is transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth connection to a computer where it can be used for various applications. The glove was used to control a five-motor tendon driven robotic hand. Tests were carried out to correlate tilt angles acquired from the glove with the appropriate motor values that will move the robotic fingers to the same position as that of the glove fingers. As a result, the robotic hand was able to mimic each human hand finger and thereby perform sign and grasp movements.

Full text

Abstract:

Waste NBR rubber gloves have become an environmental burden because the chemically cross-linked NBR gloves can’t be recycled. In this particular research, an initiative was made to turn the NBR waste glove into an oil absorbent mat by using the amount of chemical cross-linking inside the NBR waste glove triggered by solvents and with the help of epoxy resin as a binding agent. The absorption test used two types of oil: cooking oil and engine oil. To justify the relationship between the developed oil absorbent mat and its absorption behaviour, various tests, namely the Fourier transform infrared radiation (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and absorbency test, were conducted. Epoxy resin was used as a binding agent in the production of oil-absorbing mats made from waste NBR gloves. The NBR gloves mixed with binding agents of epoxy resin mats have proven to be an effective medium for oil absorbance purposes.
