The simple piece of foam that could save your child’s fingers

Accidents involving children trapping their fingers in doors are more prevalent than you might think. In the UK, studies by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA,) estimate that every year approximately thirty thousand children trap and seriously crush their fingers in doors. More than 1500 of these children will need surgery, sometimes requiring ongoing reconstructive surgery.

In Australia the figures are equally alarming. According to the Child Accident Prevention Foundation of Australia, each day, about 5,000 children in Australia require medical attention as the result of an accident. Finger jams rate as one of the top injuries which occur at home.

Each week approximately 7 children are admitted to the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne as a result of finger jams. Research done by the Children’s Hospital, Westmead revealed that over a one year period approximately fifty children present at hospitals around Victoria with amputated fingers due to finger entrapments.

These painful injuries are so simple to prevent thanks to the invention of foam door stoppers. Made out of EVA foam, the colourful character doorstoppers from Visual Gram sit around the edge of the door, stopping it from slamming or closing on hands or fingers. VisualGram doorstoppers also prevent the crushing of fingers in the door’s hinges, which is equally common. You can even get a different one for every door in the house!

These pinky protectors retail at $4.95 each and come in five delightful single designs:

  • Elephant
  • Ladybird
  • Panda Bear
  • Butterfly
  • Mushroom

You can also purchase packs of three, RRP $9.95, which come as a trio of lion / giraffe / monkey or crocodile / elephant / flamingo.
