Methods of making a pet grooming and skin care appliance and grooming an animal with the appliance by rotating the appliance with a hand held power drill. The appliance includes a drum secured to a rigid arbor. The drum defines an axis of rotation and has an array of flexible and resilient fingers of specific durometer extending radially outward from the axis of rotation. The arbor extends coaxially away from a proximal end of the drum.

The disclosure provides a cleaning brush configured to clean a working channel of the endoscope. The cleaning brush comprises a first joint, a second joint and a plurality of cleaning units, the plurality of cleaning units are sequentially connected, each cleaning unit comprises a cleaning portion configured to be in contact with the working channel of the endoscope, and the hardness of the cleaning portions of at least two cleaning units in the plurality of cleaning units is different. The first joint and the second joint are respectively connected with two outermost cleaning units in the plurality of cleaning units, and the first joint and the second joint are configured to be connected to make a ring-shaped cleaning brush. The cleaning brush is efficient in removing bioburden from the working channel of an endoscope.

A hairbrush includes a base with a handle and an elongated end portion connected to the handle. The elongated end portion includes a plurality of slots extending inwardly from a front side surface of the elongated end portion and a cavity extending inwardly from a lateral side surface of the elongated end portion. The cavity and the slots extend in different directions and intersect one another inside of the elongated end portion of the base. The hairbrush also includes a locking bar with through holes extending in the cavity and movable between a first position and a second position inside of the cavity. The hairbrush may further include a plurality of bristle structures, insertable into the slots and the through holes of the locking bar, and selectively coupleable to the elongated end portion of the base by moving the locking bar to one of the first and second positions thereof.
