An apparatus and method are provided for treating blepharitis, MGD and DED. The apparatus is self-administered for removing debris from an eyelid. The apparatus includes bristles and a pair of pads formed within the apparatus and specifically within an eyelid contact region. When self-compressed against the eyelid of the user, the user can self-treat the eyelid border by exfoliating the meibomian glands to promote the clear flow of meibum onto the eye.

Disclosed are finger-wearable oral hygiene devices having a tapered shape with a plurality of extensions extending from the outer surface of the body, with the plurality of extensions extending around at least most of the circumference of the body member, the extensions being longer near the distal end of the device and shorter near the proximal end of the device, or the extensions arranged in a staggered pattern along the length of the tubular body, or having combination of these features. The device allows gums and teeth to be massaged or cleaned more efficiently and thoroughly, and can also provide greater comfort to a subject during an oral hygiene process.

An outer elastomeric layer forms a nonogonal-shaped hollow tube for a finger toothbrush to be used by an adult caregiver to brush a child's teeth. The toothbrush has a first, rigid portion with a rigid inner lining configured to receive a middle phalange of the caregiver's finger and a second, flexible portion configured to receive a distal phalange of the caregiver's finger. The rigid inner lining may further comprise extensions and depressions to spread the pressure from a child's bite. The second, flexible portion may allow for better tactile response when the toothbrush is in the mouth of a child.

This invention is a flexible finger toothbrush that provides traditional toothbrush bristles and is intended to be used by caregivers providing oral care to patients at bedside. Due to the difficulty in brushing another's teeth from bedside, this device allows for the caregiver to place the flexible toothbrush on her or his finger and assist the caregiver in understanding the placement of the bristles relative to the patient's teeth. Accordingly, this device enables a caregiver to consistently brush a patient's teeth at the recommended 45-degree angle, thereby providing better oral care to patients.
