Abstract
A fingertip warming device that can be used on either hand, will aid in warming of fingertips to help increase blood flow to the fingertips of the user for the purpose of easing the process of drawing blood, which will be used to check the user's glucose levels. The device will have warming elements either embedded in the distal end of fingertip slots/compartments or allow for the use of a heatable insert that will also reside in the distal end of the device for the purpose of warming the user's fingertips. The device will provide either flaps or a hole through which the user's fingertips can be exposed to allow for collection of a blood sample for testing glucose levels.
Claims14
