1. A personal protection apparatus adapted to be worn on a human hand for prevention of contact with chemical or biological contaminants, which comprises:
- a hand body defining a hollow enclosure terminating at an open entry end for permitting entry and reception of at least a hand of a wearer, the hand body defining a body axis;
a primary cuff adjacent to the open entry end; and
a secondary cuff attached to the hand body along an attachment region axially displaced from the open entry end along the body axis, the secondary cuff extending outwardly from the hand body to define a spacing between the primary and secondary cuff to facilitate grasping of the secondary cuff and subsequent removal of the hand body while substantially minimizing contamination of the hand during removal.

Abstract
A disposable elastomeric glove has a secondary cuff disposed distally of a primary cuff on a wrist region of the glove. The secondary cuff may be grasped by an opposite hand to safely remove the glove with the primary cuff in place to protect the skin on the wrist from contaminants on the opposite hand. The secondary cuff approximates the design of the primary cuff such that the removal process is similar to that of a conventional glove.
