DIGITAL WIPES AND METHOD OF HANDLING

摘要

A new and useful digital wipe structure, and method for handling the wipe structure, are provided that is particularly useful in forming and handling a an oral wipe to clean teeth and gums, especially a young child's teeth and gums. A digital wipe structure comprises a piece of material impregnated with an oral therapeutic solution and configured to be wrapped completely about a user's index finger to provide a sleeve about the user's index finger. The wipe structure is further configured so that when wrapped about a user's index finger an outer portion of the sleeve is oriented so that pressure from the user's thumb will hold stabilize the sleeve and maintain the sleeve on the user's index finger, preferably against the middle or distal phalanx. The digital wipe structure can form an oral wipe that can be efficiently produced and easily handled by a user to produce a wipe that is impregnated with an oral therapeutic solution and can be formed into a sleeve that can be effectively stabilized on a user's finger (preferably against the middle or distal phalanx), and effectively used to clean a person's teeth and gums. Moreover, a preferred wipe can be folded into a pattern that enables the wipe to be effectively packaged, and effectively unfolded and formed into a sleeve that can be stabilized on a user's finger, despite the fact that the wipe is impregnated with an oral therapeutic solution.
