Claim Text:
1. A medical glove for obtaining a patient's blood pressure, pulse and oxygen saturation which comprises: a glove body for covering a hand of a medical practitioner, the glove body having a palm portion, a backhand portion, a thumb sheath, an index finger sheath and a middle finger sheath; a fluid filled reservoir incorporated on a tip of said middle finger sheath and arranged to compress an artery of the patient; a microphone incorporated on a tip of said index finger sheath and arranged to detect a pulse sound from the artery of the patient as pressure is released gradually by said middle finger sheath; an oxygen saturation sensor in said thumb sheath and an oxygen saturation transmitter on the tip of the index finger sheath configured to measure oxygen saturation and pulse of the patient, and a pressure switch in the oxygen saturation transmitter; a pressure transducer connected to the microphone and the fluid filled reservoir; a digital display module on the backhand portion of the glove body configured to display the blood pressure, pulse and oxygen saturation of the patient based on signals from the fluid filled reservoir, the microphone, the oxygen saturation sensor and the oxygen saturation transmitter, wherein the pressure switch is configured to override the microphone and cause the digital display module to display the pulse based on the oxygen saturation transmitter, wherein the digital display module has a clock and a memory for storing historical blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation data for future retrieval.
