There are 40,000 finger-trapping accidents a year in the UK among children under 15, and 1500 of those are serious enough to need reconstructive surgery or even amputation. Almost one in two accidents involve children between the ages of 2 and 4. Fingershield, the UK's leading supplier of anti-finger trapping devices, has launched a version for the home. The Fingershield device has been specially designed to cover the gap between the door and the doorframe on the hinge side - a frequent 'finger-crushing blackspot'. The pack contains 4 x 1.22m (48") Fingershield Child Finger Guards which have been designed to be extremely simple to install. Fingershield is suitable for all domestic door types and is available in white or brown. Please note: This product is not recommended for use in a commercial environment.
