Abstract

The medical utility-cupped fingertip glove is designed for use in hospital, homes and facilities where medical attention is provided. The invention encases the fingers, hand and arm, providing protection from contaminants. The device protects a patient's intravenous plug (IV) without feeder tube, whether located on the hand or the arm, while showering. There may be additional uses. The invention is designed to allow maximum use of hand and fingers by form fitting tips of the four phalanges and thumb, while providing sufficient leeway in the remainder of its design to easily fit over a protected area. The glove remains in place through the use of an elastic band that secures the uppermost portion of the glove midway between the wrist and the elbow, by wrapping securely around the arm. The invention is ambidextrous and has multiple sizes, dependent upon the body size of the user.
