  • Thumb sucker training device
    Patent number: 5474093
    Abstract: A device for retraining thumb suckers has a glove fitted to the digit with an external cover having a hard shape which impairs the normal gratification derived and an inherently unpleasant taste to displace the normally pleasant associations upon which the habit is based. Straps encircle the wrist and a lockable buckle resists all but destructive removal of the device.
