Door-related accidents often result not only in excruciating pain for the victim but can also cause major injuries to the fingers or hands, which can leave the victim temporarily or permanently disabled. In some cases, the finger is so badly injured that amputation may become necessary. Fortunately, a product has been developed to help prevent the occurrence of these accidents.

The door finger guard is a safety device that can be used on the doors of homes and offices. The safety shields which are made of soft rubbery material are attached to the door in order to prevent accidents. These safety shields are designed to stop the fingers from reaching the gap between the door and the door frame. All too often, little fingers find its way between this door gap causing serious hand injuries. There is also a rubber bumper that works to maintain the gap between the door and frame. It essentially stops the door from closing on anything that finds its way in the gap. In some products, the device produces a sound alert in case the door is being forced to close. All of these are very helpful to keep young children safe.

Based on the reports made by the National Security Council, over three hundred thousand door-related accidents occur in the U.S. annually, and around 26,000 of these incidents have caused finger amputations according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. More accidents like these have been reported in the UK and in other countries. Parents are not to be blamed for these unfortunate accidents as kids are kids. But these reports have made parents more vigilant in keeping their children safe. The Door Finger Guard has given many parents and caregivers some peace of mind knowing that their little ones won’t end up with disabling or possibly permanent hand injuries. Just consider the large number of accidents reported annually and the number of fingers amputated! All of these could have been prevented if the doors had the safety shields of the door finger guard!
