PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a finger protector for oral care in which a suction tube of saliva can easily be inserted in the oral cavity of a cared person even as for the state using the finger protector in the oral care.SOLUTION: A finger protector for oral care includes a tubular part 2 where a finger F can be inserted from a proximal opening 2a, a tip 3 for covering the tip opening of the tubular part 2, and a flange part 4 formed in the proximal end of the tubular part 2 and opened outwardly. Tube holes 3a capable of inserting a suction tube P to suck up saliva are formed at the tip 3. As a result, even in the state where the tubular part is inserted in an oral cavity, the suction tube passed in the tubular part can be inserted in the oral cavity of the cared person from the tube holes, and thereby the saliva can be sucked up.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2019,JPO&INPIT【課題】 口腔ケア時に指保護具を使用した状態でも、容易に唾液の吸引管を被ケア者の口腔内に挿入可能な口腔ケア用指保護具を提供すること。【解決手段】 基端開口部2aから指Fが差し込み可能な筒状部2と、筒状部2の先端開口部を覆う先端部3と、筒状部2の基端部に形成され外方に拡がったフランジ部4とを備え、先端部3に、唾液を吸引するための吸引管Pが挿通可能な管用孔部3aが形成されている。これにより、筒状部を口腔内に差し込んだ状態でも、筒状部内に通した吸引管を管用孔部から被ケア者の口腔内に差し込むことができ、唾液を吸引することが可能になる。【選択図】 図1
