TOOTH EXTRACTION GLOVE AND METHOD OF EXTRACTING TEETH
A tooth extraction glove is provided. The tooth extraction glove has finger coverings for only the index finger and thumb. Each finger covering has an aperture adjacent a distal end. The present invention also embodies separate mounting tips that cover the user's index finger and thumb tips, respectively. Each mounting tip provides one of a plurality of exchangeable prongs extending beyond the distal end of the mounting tip, wherein the prong slides through the above-mentioned aperture for gripping and extracting a tooth. The finger coverings provide decorative indicia to effectuate a non-threatening feel and appearance while the prongs extract the tooth.

MEDICAL TOOL FOR FINGERTIP
A medical tool for fingertip of the present invention has a resin layer that emits red fluorescence or near-infrared fluorescence, and is used by putting it on a fingertip. More specifically, the medical tools for fingertip 1A to 1E have a finger cot shape and an opening portion 2 from which the ball of the finger is exposed when put on, and are formed of a resin that emits red fluorescence or near-infrared fluorescence. Alternatively, the medical tools for fingertip 1F and 1G have a globe shape, and a printing layer 8, 9 that is formed of a resin that emits red fluorescence or near-infrared fluorescence on or around the ball of the finger thereof. Further alternatively, the medical tools for fingertip 1H and 1I are a sticker-like medical tool having an adhesive layer provided to one surface of the resin layer that emits red fluorescence or near-infrared fluorescence, and have a size that allows it to be attached to the ball of the finger. When the medical tools for fingertip are put on the tip of a finger of a surgeon used for palpation of a living body, the position of an affected site which has been specified from the mucosal side by the palpation can be accurately specified from the serosal side.

PROTECTION SHEET DISPENSER
The invention relates to an apparatus for dispensing of protection sheets. The protection sheets are meant for single use and are shaped to cover and protect a designated part of user's body or article, such as a palm or a finger. The apparatus is robust and easy to use. A protection sheet is dispensed as per user's requirement, which can be taken up and worn by a user to cover and prevent possible contact with a contaminated or pathogenic surface.
DEVICE FOR ASSISTING ACCESS TO A SUBCUTANEOUS PORT
The device includes a manipulation mechanism for maneuvering a base into position proximate a subcutaneous port. Arms extending from the base enable the device to receive the port and substantially immobilize the port relative to the device. The manipulation mechanism also enables a user to substantially immobilize the device relative to a patient. With the subcutaneous port substantially immobilized by the device, the user has greater confidence and accuracy when inserting a needle into the port. Further, embodiments of the device provide protection to the user to prevent inadvertent sticking of the user as the needle is introduced.
MEDICATION DELIVERY, DOSING AND SAFETY DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND KITS
A product comprising a first compartment and a second compartment. The first compartment has first walls that define a reservoir. The first compartment includes a first lid enclosing a medicament within the reservoir. The second compartment has second walls that define a cavity. The second compartment includes a second lid enclosing a glove within the cavity. The first compartment and the second compartment are coupled together with the reservoir and the cavity separated and sealed from one another. The first walls of the first compartment and the second walls of the second compartment are semi-rigid or rigid.

FINGER-WORN ORAL PROCEDURE APPARATUS AND METHOD
A device and methods for making and using an oral procedure apparatus include a tubular member and a flange. The tubular member forms a lumen extending from a first end of the tubular member to a second end of the tubular member, the lumen having a lumen cross-section sized to admit a human finger extending through the lumen, the tubular member having a tubular cross-section sized to be admitted into a mouth of a patient, the tubular member formed from a material substantially resilient against a bite from the mouth of the patient. The flange is coupled to the first end of the tubular member, the flange having a flange cross-section sized larger than the mouth of the patient.
