ABSTRACT:
A scratching device adapted for used by individuals wearing casts consists of an elongated body formed from a flexible material and having two opposed generally rectangular opposing faces. A plurality of spaced obliquely extending linear grooves extend across at least one of the faces. The elongated body may be formed with a hollow interior and provided with a plurality of hollow hemispherical projections on one or both of the faces. Adjacent hemispherical projections face in opposite directions and communicate with the hollow body interior. In use, the device is inserted between the cast and the skin of an individual and linearly reciprocated. The oppositely facing projections collect and remove dead skin cells in the hollow interior. A removable cap adjacent one end of the body allows the interior to be flushed with water for cleaning purposes.
