What is a finger cot?

A finger cot is a small, protective covering worn over a finger, typically made of latex, rubber, or silicone. It is used to keep a finger clean, dry, or free from contamination while performing tasks such as medical examinations, food preparation, or handling delicate materials. Finger cots are also employed to protect injured fingers or wounds from further injury or infection. They are similar to gloves but designed specifically for individual fingers.
