A disposable medical glove is provided that includes one or more anti-contamination pockets configured to receive a stethoscope diaphragm and thereby protect it from contamination during patient examinations. Additionally, it frees the use of the medical professional's fingers. In a preferred embodiment, the medical glove comprises a glove body, a rectangular pocket at the palmar side of the glove configured to receive the diaphragm, and a rectangular dorsal pocket similarly configured to receive the diaphragm. The free edge of the palmar and dorsal pockets each has a reinforced edge that defines the opening of the respective pocket. In another alternate embodiment, the palmar and/or dorsal pocket each has two compartments (i.e., a primary and second compartment). Alternatively, the glove may have only a single pocket, i.e. a palmar pocket or a dorsal pocket, to suit the user's preference. |
