Patent ID: 8006319

Claim:
A device for breast self-examination worn over a plurality of fingers of a user's hand, the plurality of fingers having a distal region, a middle region, a proximal region, a metacarpal region, and a finger pad on a palmer side associated with each of said plurality of fingers, said device comprising: an operative portion with an outside shell, an inside liner, and a lubricant contained therebetween in a reservoir, the operative portion sized to cover at least a portion of the distal regions and up to the middle regions of the plurality of fingers, the finger pads contacting an inside surface of the inside liner with the lubricant thereunder, the inside surface being sufficiently small to substantially restrict contact with the inside layer to the finger pads; and a barrier adhering the outside shell to the inside liner to define the reservoir and acting to seal the lubricant within the reservoir, the reservoir being sufficiently large to allow substantial lateral displacement of the inside liner by the finger pads while allowing the outside shell to remain in substantially immobile contact with an area of skin, the inside liner being peripherally unattached to the outside shell below the barrier, the barrier extending about an entry sized to receive the plurality of fingers into the operative portion; and, an extension portion extending from the barrier and forming an upper opening to admit the plurality of fingers therethrough, the upper opening substantially corresponding in size to the entry of the operative portion for collective insert of the plurality of fingers.
