Chirurgischer Fingerschutz

摘要

A surgical thimble 1 for needle stick protection comprises a flexible needle point resistant element adapted to conform to a digit to provide a continuous barrier to needle stick over a portion at least of said digit. The resistant element comprises a continuous corrugated configuration 2, 4 terminating in a needle point resistent end-cap 3. The cross-sectional shape of the corrugations may be of V-form (Fig. 6), Z-Form (Figs. 4 and 5) or "top-hat" form (as shown).
