Flents First Aid Finger Cots, Protects Finger While Healing From Injury, 36 Count

Cheaper in Daiso, nothing fancy

Works great to protect the end of the finger

Works well

I’ve used nitrile finger cots before (the blue ones that is), and they are bit better than these. There’s nothing wrong with these per se, but they’re a lot thinner (like disposable gloves). They will not last hours if you needed them to and do let water in. I often get cuts c’è or splits on my fingertips, and I wash my hands a lot having 3 dogs in the house. I would have to change one of these plus the bandaids each time I wash my hands. Could not use it to protect my bandage or keep water from getting through. They also will tear up if you tug on them a bit too much. So they do, do their job, just not excellently. I will go back to my blue nitrile ones, once I finish this box.

Easily unrolls over the thick orthosis/cast to the base of my ring finger with the Large size and fits well enough to keep the water out if I’m careful. It’s very comfortable and I forgot it’s there while I’m doing things so I must remind myself to remove it to prevent condensation formation and skin maceration or smelly cast. My only complaint is not being able to purchase individual sizes in larger quantities after buying the mixed sizes to determine which size works best making it pretty pricey for 12 Large ones. I just tried on a Medium that will work fine as well and may be better for keeping water out if I don’t keep it on too long because it’s definitely tighter. However, these are much better than the Grafco finger cots which are available in individual sizes but are much shorter (by at least 9-14mm) with inconsistent lengths, are unrolled and lower quality though they are almost half the cost each for 144 versus 36 Flents. Depends on what your needs are. Durability is good and I haven’t noticed anything more than a slight latex smell when it’s right under my nose.
