BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0007]FIG. 1 shows the first side of a latex glove in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention.
[0008]FIG. 2 Shows area where the cooling agent is located in the glove and also shows the Velcro strap that holds the glove in place.
[0009]FIG. 3 shows the different layers to be incorporated in to one unity
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0010]An ambidextrous latex glove is provided with a smooth surface and can be in different colors according to size to make the recognition of size easy for the medical worker applying the treatment. The gloves are manufactured from a specially designed porcelain mitten mold and dipped in the compounding ingredients to produce the inventive glove.

[0013]The cooling agent would be placed in a pocket like layer on the inside of the glove (built in) only at the front end (section A in FIG. 2) to provide the cold compress only in the section required on both sides of the hand. Especially the finger tips.
[0014]The glove shaped like a mitten is of unitary construction and uniform composition namely a single piece of hollow latex and material in the form of a mitten glove.
[0015]The glove can be worn on either the right or left hand, only by moving the thumb position to either side as needed, the opening too would be in accordance to the size needed by the person wearing the glove
