  • Digit Tip Protection Device
    Publication number: 20140215677
    Abstract: A digit tip protection device comprises a concave puncture-resistant member adapted to protect a pulp of a digit. The puncture resistant material is thin and flexible to avoid interfering with tactile sensation of the digit. The concave member has an adhesive layer adapted to adhere to the digit. The concave member has a first end extending over the pulp of the digit to just below a nail, a second end extending over the pulp of the digit below a first joint of the digit, and a lateral and medial edges extending along the digit. The digit tip protection device is adapted to be worn on a digit, such that the digit tip protection device substantially covers the pulp of the digit, and extends along the palmar surface of the digit below the distal interphalangeal joint.
