CLEANSING DEVICE FOR SURGICAL SCRUBS
First Claim
1. A cleansing device which comprises a plurality of resilient foamed polyurethane cellular annular members substantially similar in shape and each having a central aperture bordered by exposed cells, said cellular members being connected in adjoining relation to one another to form a composite resilient structure elongated axially of the apertures, the apertures of said cellular members being positioned in tandem alignment along a central axis to define a passage extending completely through said structure and open at both ends thereof and allowing the insertion therein of a body member to be cleansed, adjoining cellular members of said structure having different stiffnesses and cellular densities for contacting and scrubbing said body member upon relative movement of said device and body member, and said structure being generally symmetrical about said axis.
