Abstract: A finger cot intended for surgical use, and a method for manufacturing the finger cot. The finger cot is formed from two blanks, a first blank forms the back portion, and a second forms the palm face, sides and tip. The blanks are formed of materials to provide the desired degree of protection from cuts and punctures, balanced against the degree of sensitivity or tactility needed to perform a specific task. The second blank is place on a anvil having a cavity therein shaped like a finger. An insert is placed over the second blank and forced into the cavity to shape the second blank. A seam, surrounding the cavity, and located on the outside of the finger cot is formed by ultra sonic welding.
