A finger shield includes an elongate structure having the two arms of the vee portion arranged to straddle a finger knuckle, a stem portion arranged to cover a finger crease opposite the finger knuckle, and a central area located at the intersection of the vee and stem portions and arranged to cover a lateral or medial side of the finger between the finger knuckle and finger crease. Preferably, the central area and/or stem portion include a protective portion. At least a portion of the elongate structure may be stretchable. The elongate structure may be woven fabric and/or other materials, for example such as those used for adhesive bandages. An adhesive may be applied to the elongate structure on a side opposite the protective portion. In certain embodiments, a portion of a finger of a surgical glove comprises a finger shield or a protective portion, wherein when the glove is worn on a hand, the finger shield or protective portion is positioned to protect the lateral and/or medial sides and/or finger crease of a joint. |
