(EN) MEDICAL/DENTAL/UTILITY GLOVE WITH ANTI-FATIGUE AND ERGONOMETRIC IMPROVEMENTS

(EN) The present invention is to an improved glove (10, 110) having both anatomically correlating stress relief zones and/or reinforced zones to add support in areas opposite the stress relief zones to keep bunching or slipping of the glove from interfering with the bending of the user's joints. The glove may have corrugated relief zones (112, 114, 116, 118) over some or all of the joints and knuckles of the hand, wherein the relief zones are formed of peaks and valleys. A relief zone can also be provided over the webbing between the thumb and the palm. The vertical or longitudinal relief zones provide for improved glove quality while keeping manufacturing difficulty and costs at a minimum. FIG. 9
