A protective guard (20) for a finger or thumb may be used during a medical procedure. The protective guard may inhibit needle or instrument puncture of a medical practitioner's skin during the medical procedure. The protective guard may include a protective portion (46) and a less protective portion (48). The materials used to form the protective portion and the less protective portion may be chosen so that the guard provides a large degree of penetration resistance while still remaining flexible. The color of the protective portion may be different than the color of the less protective portion to provide a user with a visual indication of the protective area of the protective guard. |
