Textiles and Dress
A finger sleeve is a kind of protective garment, and sometimes a compression garment, that is worn on the fingers. They are generally worn for pain relief and for support and protection for the finger, but can also be worn as a fashion statement, or to improve the wearer's ability to perform certain tasks involving the fingers.
