ABSTRACT:
A set of digit or thumb and finger protectors provides a manicurist with protection against chafing irritation or injury from repeated contact with a nail file, emery board or the like. The set includes a thumb protector and an index-finger protector for the hand opposite a hand that holds the file or other tool. The thumb protector covers the skin on the back and sides of the thumb but allows the thumb pad to remain exposed for tactile sensation, for example to assess the smoothness of a filed surface, without having to remove the thumb protector. The index-finger protector covers the skin and nail at the end of the index finger. The index finger protector hinges adjacent the knuckle and has a throat cut out to permit free flexion and extension of the index finger. These protectors guard against accidentally filing or rasping the skin by an errant stroke. An optional additional finger protector is applied to a finger on the hand which holds the nail file to guard against injury from prolonged handling of the abrasive file or other tool.
