Abstract: An improved finger mountable holding device to temporarily hold an object in a tight space on a finger while an operation is performed utilizing the object, the device includes a tubular elastomeric body with a wall, a finger entering first open end an axis, a hole through the wall, a plurality of slits radiating outwardly from the hole to form flaps extending circumferentially around the hole. The flaps are capable of elastically flexing to dilate the hole whereby the object will pass therethrough to subject the flaps to elastic flexure to dilate the hole and to elastically hold the object in predetermined position in which the operation can be performed.
