In particular, when performing intravenous infusion for a long time, the needle is often stuck, and in this case, a bandage is wound around the hand together with the catheter to fix the needle and the catheter to the hand.

[0003] However, if the bandage is wrapped around the hand for a long time to fix the catheter, the fingers of the hands are in contact with each other, so that there is a problem that the fingers get stuffy and the skin becomes dark. .

[0004]

Therefore, in order to prevent stuffiness between fingers, gloves with five fingers may be worn. However, when gloves with five fingers are worn, the entire hand may be worn. Because of the covered state, the air permeability is poor, and there is a problem that a patient with a handicap is difficult to control the body temperature.

[0005] Further, there is a problem that it is difficult to work with a fingertip with a five finger glove.

In addition, the five-fingered glove has a problem that it is difficult to wear it on a patient with a handicapped hand, whether it is performed by himself or when another person wears the glove. In a contracted state, it is very difficult to wear a five-finger glove.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and it is possible to prevent stuffiness between hands and palms and to control body temperature while being able to be easily worn. An object of the present invention is to provide a device for preventing stuffiness between fingers.
