The No- Shank toothbrush is designed to fit over the end of an inmate's flossing finger. Push it on firmly and the compression holds it on the fingertip. It is a patented one-piece tube with integrally moulded bristles. This 'finger' toothbrush is just 1 1/4" long and weighs only 1 1/3 grams. Made of translucent material, its cavity is open-ended which prevents inmates from hiding weapons or contraband. It is reusable and will last as long as a standard toothbrush. Gift from the designers.
