Dukal 4406S - Finger Guard, Small, 12/BX
The Dukal 4406S Finger Guard Small provides a reliable and hygienic solution for protecting fingers during medical, industrial, or food handling procedures. Made from durable latex material, each finger guard offers excellent barrier protection against moisture, contaminants, and minor abrasions. Designed for a comfortable, secure fit, these single use guards ensure protection while maintaining full tactile sensitivity for precision work.
Key Benefits
The small size of the Dukal 4406S Finger Guard offers a snug, form fitting seal that reduces slippage and enhances dexterity. Its latex construction provides superior stretch and durability compared to traditional finger cots. By isolating individual fingers, it helps prevent cross contamination and maintains a clean working environment. The smooth finish also makes it easy to roll on and remove, improving efficiency during frequent glove changes.
Compatibility and Applications
The Dukal Finger Guard is compatible with standard clinical, dental, laboratory, and light industrial procedures. It is commonly used for wound protection, medication application, and to cover bandaged fingers during examination or food preparation. In healthcare environments, it supports sterile practices during minor procedures where full gloves are not required.
Usage Guidelines
Ensure the finger and surrounding area are clean and dry before application. Roll the finger guard gently from the tip to the base of the finger without overstretching. Replace the guard after each use or when it shows signs of wear or contamination. Store in a cool, dry place to preserve elasticity and performance. Do not reuse single use finger guards.
