Abstract: A finger protective device constructed from elastomeric materials. A working surface covers the fleshy portion of a finger and is of sufficient strength and hardness to avoid penetration by a needle, yet elastomeric to accommodate large variations in shape. The working surface may be interrupted by ribs or protrusions to prevent needle slippage. A compliant member surrounds the remainder of the finger and is softer in order to comply with the majority of finger shape variations. The thimble thus formed is designed to conform to the shape of a finger and remain adhered by frictional means to provide comfortable protection.
