Hello & Happy New Year!
I am trying to locate resources for obtaining custom medical gloves (non latex) for a medical student who is missing a couple of digits on each hand and has variable finger size for the other digits. I am located in Chicago, Illinois and the student is located in Rockford, Illinois. Unfortunately, I am still waiting for the report that will provide more clinical information. The medical student will be starting fieldwork rotations. I was told by a Chicago-based O & P that any O & P practitioner will know how to get custom medical gloves made. Unfortunately, I called a number of O & P locations and everyone I spoke with are unaware of glove companies who will make custom medical gloves from the plaster/porcelein molds. I would appreciate if you can provide me with any information to better assist this person.
Thank you!
