finger cots

Also known as finger protectors or finger gloves. A covering worn on the fingers; think of reverse fingerless gloves.

In real life, they're typically worn when protecting the fingers is necessary, but when regular gloves aren't needed, such as certain medical procedures, electronics manufacturing, watchmaking, etc.

Disposable latex finger cots have been nicknamed "finger condoms" because of their visual similarity to condoms.
