Glove manufacturing methods can include a hand mandrel and a tube mandrel. The method can include dipping the hand mandrel and the tube mandrel while the mandrels are positioned apart from each other. The method can include bringing the hand mandrel in close proximity to the tube mandrel to enable creating a glove with an attached tube. The tube can be used to hold at least one optical fiber to enable light transmission distally along a finger. In several embodiments, the tube can be used for suction, irrigation, cautery, ultrasound, and/or sensing instruments. Gloves, including surgical gloves, can be made from many different materials including latex, nitrile, neoprene, cloth, leather, and/or a combination thereof.
