Finger cot

A finger cot (also finger frock or finger stall , informally finger condom ) is a medical supply used for covering one or more fingers in a situation where full gloves are not required. Like medical and rubber gloves, finger dips can be made from various waterproof materials including latex, nitrile rubber, and vinyl.

A toe protector or leg stamp is very similar, but shorter and larger in diameter. This function is not so much to prevent contamination - the toes are usually contained in footwear that protects them - but to protect the injured leg against further damage from friction and pressure by rubbing continuously against the toes and other shoes. They are consequently made partially or completely of soft material such as mineral oil gel, and the edges may be open or closed.

In medicine

They are used in medicine to limit the patient's exposure to infections, and to protect health professionals from contact with body fluids that can transmit the disease. Finger beds can be used in a variety of medical procedures and examinations, for example, when applying topical medications or during a digital rectal examination. Finger beds can be used when bandaging a finger to secure the pads and keep them dry. The term "fyngyr stalle" was recorded in 1483; "cot" has been used since 1617. The early kiosks are usually made of leather.

In the workplace

Cots Finger has applications in many workplaces, especially to protect objects that can be damaged by natural skin oil exposure, skin particles, and impurities in the hands. In electronic manufacturing, for example, the manufacture of semiconductors, finger dips are used when handling those components. In the watchmaking they are used to protect the smooth part of the watch. In the conservation and restoration of art they protect artwork from contamination that can have detrimental effects over time. In work that requires power by hand, such as car or cooking repairs, finger dips can be used to protect and isolate injured fingers.

Thimblettes (also known as rubber fingers, rubber thimbles and finger cones) are soft thimbles, made of rubber, used primarily for flipping or counting documents, banknotes, tickets, or forms. They also protect against paper cutting as a secondary function.
