Abstract
A clinical scrub brush device having an elongate tubular having an inner peripheral wall surface and having a finger opening at one end which may be flared. Internal bristles project radially from the inner peripheral wall surface for scrubbing of a finger or other object inserted into the internal chamber. A perforate structural member is located at an end of the elongate tubular body and has at least one puncture element. A scrub solution chamber having a quantity of liquid scrub solution is supported at one end of the elongate tubular body and has a movable wall to permit manual pressurization of the scrub solution and has a membrane wall preventing movement of the scrub solution into the internal chamber. The membrane is punctured when forced against the puncture element by scrub solution pressure for releasing scrub solution into the internal chamber. The brush body may define a longitudinal slot along its length permitting objects to be inserted into the internal chamber for scrubbing by the internal bristles.
