An apparatus for cleaning an ocular adnexa having a finger sole. The finger sole has a sole surface and a sole bottom. An array of bristles is coupled to the sole bottom. A finger strap is coupled to the sole surface.

A software-implemented process for preventing reuse of a replaceable cleansing attachment includes detecting, via a chip in the replaceable cleansing attachment, that the replaceable cleansing attachment is attached to a base. The method also includes during a first use, receiving, at an acoustic transducer, high-frequency current from the base, wherein the acoustic transducer converts the high-frequency current into sound waves to assist in an abrasive removal of wound coatings. And the method includes recording, to the chip, an indication of the first use of the replaceable cleansing attachment, wherein the chip is configured to prevent a second use of the replaceable cleansing attachment when the chip has the indication of first use of the replaceable cleansing attachment stored thereon.

The present disclosure is concerned with a personal care device having a head portion having a driven treatment head, a handle portion having a drive unit for providing a motion having a motion direction, and a drive train extending between the drive unit and the driven treatment head for transmitting the motion from the drive unit to the driven treatment head, the drive train having a separable coupling. The separable coupling has a first coupling part having a first coupling element, a second coupling part having a second coupling element, the first and the second coupling elements being separably engaged with each other, and a resilient element biasing the first coupling element and the second coupling element against each other so that the first and second coupling elements are engaged in a gap-free manner along the motion direction.

A soap-dispensing bath sponge assembly is adapted to house a liquid soap product within a body thereof, and further adapted to dispense soap through an exfoliating material, such as a brush and/or sponge material, thereby creating a foamy lather for application to the body of a user or non-human surface, such as a vehicle. The body of the soap-dispensing bath sponge assembly is adapted to be flexibly-modulated (squeezed), thereby generating pressure within an internal volume of the body, forcing the liquid soap product through slit valves (or similar features) and into a volume of the exfoliating material.

Foot washing apparatus including a base, a housing with a first arm extending vertically from the base so as to generally divide an upper surface of the base into a toe area and a heel area, and a second arm having a lower surface extending generally horizontally from the first arm, the lower surface of the second arm overlying the toe area. A soap dispensing assembly includes a receptacle for receiving a pressurized soap can, an activating lever for dispensing soap, a conduit system for carrying dispensed soap from the soap can to brushes carried by the apparatus, and a stabilizing handle extending upwardly form the base. A trigger mechanism is carried by a grip and coupled to the activating lever by a link for moving the activating lever to the activated position.

A brushing accessory, including a first member, including a hole and a brush fixed thereto, and a second member, including a motor for rotating a first elliptic gear, a second elliptic gear interlaced with the first elliptic gear, and a pin extending from the second elliptic gear into the hole of the first member, thereby moving the brush on a user's body as a function of changing locations of the pin, the locations changing as a function of the interlacing of the elliptic gears.

A handwashing device that provides an incentive for proper handwashing is presented. The handwashing device contains a housing, a brush layer, a processing unit, an activation element, an indicator element, and a timer switch. The housing is positioned within the brush layer. The processing unit is positioned within the housing. The processing unit, the activation element, the indicator element, and the timer switch are electronically connected to the processing unit. In the preferred embodiment, the housing may take the form of a rigid and waterproof electronics enclosure that houses the electronic components that constitutes the handwashing device. Additionally, the housing serves as a mounting implement for the brush layer to attach along where the brush layer conforms to the shape of the housing. In the preferred embodiment, the housing is constructed out of a light permeable material, such as, but not limited to translucent polycarbonate, or any other suitable material.

The disclosure provided herein is directed to a body scrubbing device. The body scrubbing device has a cleaning member and a connection member that are removably connected to a body of the body scrubbing device. The body scrubbing device is stackable and arrangeable with another body scrubbing device by interconnection between a male interconnection member and a female interconnection device.

An ultrasound-assisted wound cleanser in the form of a handheld device includes an integrated vibration motor, an integrated ultrasound generator, an integrated energy source for the vibration motor and the ultrasound generator, and a replaceable cleansing attachment which can be driven by the vibration motor for abrasively removing wound coatings. The cleansing attachment has an acoustic transducer which is designed to convert the electric oscillations generated by the ultrasound generator into sound waves, a device for reinforcing and/or distributing and/or transferring the ultrasound waves, and bristles and/or lamellas for the abrasive removal. Further, a method for cleansing wounds includes moving a cleansing attachment with bristles for abrasively removing wound coatings by a vibration motor. The cleansing attachment is oscillated by an ultrasound generator, and the oscillations for supporting the removal of wound coatings are transmitted into the wound via a transmission medium.

Described herein are devices for cleansing the internal surface of various body cavities. The devices generally include a handle and one or more cleansing tips having different sets of cleansing surfaces. In addition to removing debris, and disrupting bacterial biofilms so as to make these bacteria more susceptible to various cleansing agents, the devices may be configured to deliver an antiseptic agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, or a fragrance to the body cavity surfaces, or deliver UV light to sanitize the surfaces. Methods for cleansing the surfaces of body cavities such as the nasal passages and vaginal cavity are also described herein. Systems including one or more cleansing devices and one or more cleansing formulations are further described.
