ABSTRACT:
A scraping apparatus or scraper for contacting an adhesive device and skin to which the adhesive device is attached, at an interface between the adhesive device and the skin, to remove the adhesive device from the skin. In one configuration, the scraping apparatus includes a fluid for reducing the adhesion of the adhesive; an element for holding the fluid; and a scraping component. The scraping component is connected to and in fluid communication with the fluid holding element and has at least one first opening distal to the fluid holding element. The scraping apparatus also includes a structure for closing the first opening. In another configuration, the scraping apparatus further includes an element for propelling the fluid to the scraping component. The propelling element may be a compressed gas.
