Needs an orthogonal approach. Perhaps Elmer's glue that physician’s can dip their hands in and rinse off?

Some of my early research (elementary school) suggested that certain glues can form a peelable, skin-like layer. Maybe that could be a promising way forward?
I did the same research in elementary school! My parents were my seed investors. They asked for 25% of equity - all I ended up giving them was some collectible artwork for the fridge.
:) Love the early research. It seems to me that your product could be useful, particularly since those gloves are hard to put on.
Every glove is tested for conductivity to ensure it's not got tiny holes in, you can't do that with 'glue gloves'.
Gloves are sterile wouldn't this tend to embed whatever is on the hands in the surface as it dries?
Which is fine - when you put on gloves, they just cover up whatever is on your skin in the same way.
On the outside of the surface as well which is not fine. Goo would tend to irritate the skin stick in your pores and be challenging to quickly change when you contaminated one exterior which happens a lot
Medical gloves are not sterile (outside maybe of ones specifically packaged for use in an OR).
