  • Patent number: 11963835
    Abstract: The fingertip dental flosser includes a tube or cap made of soft silicone adapted for being worn on a user's index fingertip. A U-shaped flosser fork or yoke is attached to the free end of a mounting arm projecting from the silicone finger cap. The proximal end of the mounting arm is pivotally attached to the silicone finger cap by a pivot pin, ball-and-socket, or other pivot joint so that the floss attached to the fork or yoke may extend orthogonal to the silicone finger cap or may be pivoted to extend axially parallel to the silicone finger cap. The mounting of the fingertip dental flosser on the index finger utilizes the remaining agility and sensitivity of the elderly or disabled, permitting better control and grip over finger pressure, since tactile sensation allows the finger to locate the teeth and interproximal surfaces to position the floss for more effective cleaning.
