Leather Splint

Fingers are important parts of human body. We use our fingers to eat, to write, to hold, to carry, to pinch, to fight with enemies etc. Fingers play an important role in the history of mankind. Without fingers, our history may have to be re-written.

As we involve in different activities, our fingers are exposed to hazards. They may get injured. Cut and bruise on fingers may cause infection to others.

There are many ways to protect our fingers. One common method is to wear finger cots. They are also known as finger stools.

If our fingers suffer cut, wearing finger cots while working may protect our finger from further injuries or re-injury. They also help in healing of injuries.

If our fingers suffer dislocated joint or fractured phalanges, we may use aluminum finger cots (aluminum splint) to keep the inter-phalange joint in a required position. They immobilize and protect the dislocated joint and fractured phalanges. The foam-lined aluminum splint can be cut and contoured to our fingers.

Doctor who has to contact a patient's anus and vagina may use nitrile finger cots to protect himself from possible infection, even though hand gloves are frequently used.

In handling food, vegetables, poultry and seafood (food industry), one may protect his fingers from virus, bacteria and constant contact with foreign materials by using food graded finger cots. They are about 4mm thick and textured on their surface to provide better grip. Wearing them is even more important in handling food if your fingers have infection, cut or bruise. They prevent potential infection to the consumers.

As fingers are in constant contact with different objects, they are surrounded by bacteria, viruses, dirt, skin salt etc. The skin salt in particular, may damage items we hold due to corrosion caused by the salts. Latex finger stools may protect the items that we handle by preventing the items from coming into contact with our fingers.

In electronic industries like manufacture of semi-conductor and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), the main cause of damage to electronic components is Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).

There are two (2) main causes of ESD. The first cause of ESD is due to static electricity generated by tribocharging whereby two objects are brought together and separated. This will give rise to difference in electrical potential which may cause ESD event. The second cause is due to electrostatic induction where an electrically charged object, be it conducive or non-conducive, comes into contact or in near contact with a conducive object, for instance a printed circuit board (PCB) isolated from ground. The sudden surge of current may cause ESD event that subsequently damages the PCB.

In order to control ESD, one may prevent the build-up of static charge. The use of anti-static and static dissipative materials may eliminate the charge build-up. Antistatic latex finger stools could assist in this aspect. The finger stools must be powder free; otherwise the movement between the powder and latex finger stools may produce static charge.

In laboratory research, one may need to use a cleanroom. Finger stools are part of the protective clothing in a cleanroom for researchers. Antistatic latex finger stools are recommended in this respect.

Cloth finger stools are used to protect fingers from injury due to friction for instance, in holding badminton racket.

Leather finger stools serve the same function as that of the cloth finger stools.

In conclusion, even finger stools are small items and available at very low prices, their importance is immensely significant particularly in manufacturing, laboratory and food industries.
