a protective cover for a finger
What is a "fingerstall"?
A fingerstall is a small protective covering worn on a finger to prevent the spread of germs, dirt, or infections. It is usually made of flexible materials like rubber or plastic and is commonly used by healthcare providers when treating a patient's wound or by tattoo artists to maintain hygiene during tattoo procedures. Fingerstalls help protect both the wearer and the person being treated from potential infections or harmful substances.
Examples
