Abstract:
Transmission of communicable diseases has been a long standing problems between athletes playing team sports. The potential of HIV and AIDS virus transmission has elevated this problem to be a grave concern. A major avenue for the transmission of infectious agents has been identified to be a game's ball. In many sports it is common practice for athletes to wet their finger tips to better grip the ball. A hygienic method of improving grip on a game ball is disclosed. The disclosed gripping band is wholly flexible and accordingly is not a potential source of injury even in a contact sport. Wetted absorbent material within a water tight pan, due to minimally exposed surface area, remains moist for sustained periods in any orientation.
