ABSTRACT:
A multilayered foam scrub sponge for cleanup prior to a surgical procedure is described. One layer serves to impart a degree of rigidity to the structure, another layer retains an antiseptic solution, while a third layer acts as a scrubbing surface. The sponge is shaped to fall easily to the human hand. A toothed profile on the edges presents a rough surface for an augmented scrubbing capability. A removable serrated insert accommodated in the center of the sponge enables insertion of the fingers to cleanse and disinfect the cuticle areas. Removal of the insert allows access to a fingernail pick stored thereunder. The sponge is stored in a solution-impregnated state within a sealed package ready for immediate use.
