Abstract: A catamenial bandage pad having a soft, curved-sided shell with an elongate transverse plate, made of a molded plastic material which is form-retaining and has a characteristic to return to its original shape even though momentarily deformed by body position. The shell is filled with an absorbent material and enveloped in a retaining gauze. A self-wrapping end retainer holds a folded used pad in a double back position.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device, intended primarily for home use, for both vacuuming and scrubbing facial skin surfaces to remove oils and debris from the skin. The device is adapted for attachment to a conventional water outlet and comprises a Venturi tube to which is attached a housing overlying the throat suction aperture of the tube. The housing accommodates a turbine rotor which is rotated by the flow of water through the Venturi throat and the rotor drives a remote facial brush. Coaxial with the rotor is a vacuum controlling rotor which may deliver continuous or pulsating vacuum. When producing pulsating vacuum, the rotor periodically interrupts or pulses the vacuum produced in the housing which, via a flexible tube, is utilized by a remote vacuum head applied by the user to his facial surfaces.

Abstract: A device is disclosed for cleaning teeth and adjacent areas comprising a shaft with a cleaning end, a flexible rest with an opening through which the shaft extends which is operative to be pressed against the teeth and adjacent areas to stabilize the position of the device, and a securing apparatus secured to the shaft and to the flexible rest.
