What Use Are Finger Cots?
What are finger cots? Simply stated, finger cots are gloves that cover the tips of the fingers in situations where a full glove is not needed. Most often rolled for easy donning, finger cots or finger gloves are usually made of a nitrile or latex material. They can cover one or two knuckles. If you’ve ever wondered what you would ever use finger cots for, the pros at Total Source Manufacturing can tell you in 4 easy ways.
To Cover Wounds
Employees with fingertip bandages or wounds on the fingers can use a finger cot to cover the wound and prevent the transmission of microorganisms. It can also provide extra protection for the sore finger.
To Protect Fingers
When working with sharp corners or abrasive surfaces, finger cots can protect the fingers from cuts, scrapes, scratches or wounds. They also provide relief from stress injuries from repetitive movements.
