Finger sleeve

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.

Finger sleeves are worn by some basketball players to support and protect their finger joints and for pain relief, as well as to enhance grip on the ball during a shot. It is up to the player's preference on which finger the sleeve is worn. Many, such as Reggie Miller, choose to wear more than one finger sleeve. The use of the finger sleeve is authorized and approved by the National Basketball Association (NBA).[citation needed] In many cases, the finger sleeve is worn for protection as an alternative to performing some sort of taping job on the digit.[citation needed]

Notable people who have worn finger sleeves include:

Gamers sometimes wear compression finger sleeves.

Razer Inc. offers finger sleeves designed for mobile gaming. They are worn over the fingertip and are designed to increase grip and protect the wearer from friction. They are less than 1 millimetre (0.039 in) thick and are woven with silver fibers so that the barrier does not prevent the touchscreen from reacting to the wearer's finger presses.
