ABSTRACT:
A hygienic swab-type device usable for cleansing or as a medical applicator is provided by compact tongs with a cover which functions as a scabbard or housing when the tongs are not in use and in use as a handle extension for the tongs. The tongs are pivotally connected and have clamping end portions for clamping and holding a replaceable or disposable hygienic swab for cleansing or treating of the body such as rectal and vaginal areas. The cover is made of a rigid material and has a pocket formed therein into which the operating ends of the tongs are insertable longitudinally in use effectively holding the tongs in a closed position and extending longitudinally therefrom. The cover accordingly provides a longitudinal handle extension for the tongs inserted into the pocket and ease of manipulation for access to the body areas to be cleansed or treated with the hygienic swab.
