ABSTRACT:
A noninvasive medical instrument having a core and a flexible outer coil surrounding about the core to form an elongated body. The elongated body has a rounded tip portion, which is preferably burrless, to prevent the noninvasive medical instrument from penetrating or entering a skin surface of a patient. The noninvasive medical instrument of this invention can be used to scratch an irritated skin surface that is otherwise inaccessible due to interference caused by a cast, a prosthetic device or another structural obstruction. If the core is hollow, the noninvasive medical instrument of this invention can be used to deliver fluidic medicine to a likewise inaccessible skin area.
