Patent Images
1. A personal protection apparatus adapted to be worn on a human hand for prevention of contact with chemical or biological contaminants, which camp rises:
- 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 permanently attached to the hand body along an attachment region axially displaced from the open entry end along the body axis, the secondary cuff extending in a radial outward direction from the hand body relative to the body axis a radial spacing between the primary cuff and the secondary cuff to facilitate grasping of the secondary cuff and subsequent removal of the band body while substantially minimizing contamination of the hand during removal wherein the secondary cuff terminates in a free end, the free end being axially displaced from the open entry end of the hand body and radially displaced from the primary cuff.

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.
