Door Finger Protector
Creating Safer Childcare Environments
Avoid preventable accidents
“A gust of wind, a thoughtless moment, a playtime prank, whatever the cause, in Victoria alone statistics show on average there are more than 500 hospital admissions every year for serious hand and finger injuries caused by doors. Over half of those admitted are under the age of 9 with almost 50% suffering fractures or traumatic amputation.”
