An improved apparatus for cleaning a scope during a surgical procedure using a hinged tip. A scope cleaning apparatus can include a tube configured to be slidably received by a cannula, a hinged tip connected to the tube, and a lens-cleaning portion. The tube can include a proximal portion and a distal portion. Furthermore, the tube, across the proximal portion and the distal portion together can include an outer surface, an inner surface, and a lumen. The inner surface can be configured to slidably receive a viewing scope. The lumen can be defined by the inner surface. The lens-cleaning portion can be coupled to the hinged tip and can be configured to engage at least a portion of the viewing scope.

A three-dimensional soft sculpture wall adornment is made of a pliable and lightweight material. The wall adornment has a raised relief front surface and a back that is at least partially flat. The raised relief has a minimum total relief contrast that assures a three-dimensional visual quality. The raised relief also has a maximum projection. The back has a mounting element attached to the flat portion for securing the wall adornment to a wall.
