Description

  The present invention relates to a finger attachment device to be attached to a finger, and more specifically, to improvement of air permeability and wearability.

In hospitals, nursing homes, homes, etc., patients who are unable to move their fingers freely and elderly people, especially patients with severe dementia, may continue to hold their hands clasped. If this state is continued, since the palm sweat does not dry, it becomes impossible to maintain a hygienic state, such as being ridiculous or causing germs to grow and causing odor. In order to prevent such palm stuffiness, for example, in Patent Document 1 shown below, a loosely wound coil is used, taking advantage of the air permeability of the contact surface and the air permeability of the inner diameter, and wearing for a long time. However, a grip tube that prevents the palm of the hand from becoming damp is disclosed. In Patent Document 2 below, a pipe-shaped wall is provided with a vent hole, and a pipe-shaped inner diameter portion is inserted with a dehumidifying, sterilizing or deodorizing effect such as absorbent cotton or activated carbon. There has been disclosed a palm rehabilitation dry cleaner for nursing care which aims to maintain palm hygiene by holding it in an upright state and at the same time to obtain a rehabilitation effect.
