An example of a finger cot

A finger cot[1] (also finger frock or finger stall,[1] informally finger condom) is a medical device used to cover one or more fingers in situations where a full glove seems unnecessary. Like  medical and rubber gloves, finger cots may be made from a variety of water-tight materials including latex, nitrile rubber, and vinyl.

A toe protector or toe cap is very similar, but shorter and of greater diameter. The function is not so much to prevent contamination—toes are normally contained within footwear that protects them—but to protect an injured toe against further damage from friction and pressure by continual rubbing against other toes and shoes. They are consequently made partly or wholly of a soft material such as a mineral oil gel, and the end may be either open or closed.

Transcription

This is a finger cot, which is used for protection of STIs during stimulation of the anus or genitals. Before putting on a finger cot you want to make sure that you have trimmed your fingernails so that they are at a reasonable length. If they're too long or too sharp, they can puncture the latex barrier. You want to approach it the same way you would a male condom. So you just want to put the tip of the latex barrier of the finger cot on the tip of your finger and then role it down like this, and then before engaging in stimulation, it is recommended that you put on some form of water-based lube, as this can reduce irritation of the stimulated area. Then after stimulation you simply roll it off like this, and then dispose of it in the trash.

In medicine

They are used in medicine to limit patient exposure to infection, and to protect health professionals from contact with bodily fluids that can transmit disease. Finger cots can be used in a wide scope of medical procedures and examinations, for example, when applying a topical medication or during digital rectal examination.[2] Finger cots may be used when bandaging a finger to secure the dressing and keep it dry. The term "fyngyr stalle" was recorded in 1483; "cot" has been used since 1617.[1] Early stalls were usually made of leather.[3]

In voting

Finger cots have been used during the COVID-19 pandemic to limit contamination for voters using touch-screen voting systems in the 2020 U.S. elections.[4]

In the workplace

Finger cots have applications in many workplaces, mainly to protect objects which can be damaged by exposure to the skin's natural oils, skin particles, and dirt on hands. In electronics manufacturing, e.g., the manufacture of semiconductors, finger cots are used while handling such components.[5] In watchmaking they are used to protect delicate watch parts.[6] In art conservation and restoration they protect works of art from contamination which can have detrimental effects over time. In jobs that require labor with the hands, such as automobile repair or cooking, finger cots may be used to protect and isolate an injured finger.

Thimblettes (also known as rubber finger, banker's friend, rubber thimbles and finger cones) are soft thimbles, made predominantly of rubber, used primarily for leafing through or counting documents, bank notes, tickets, or forms. They also protect against paper cuts as a secondary function.

Other uses

Finger cots can be used as a protective barrier during sexual intercourse to decrease the risk of sexually transmitted infection.[7][8]

Finger cots can also be used as a picking barrier for people with dermatillomania.
