Abstract
An appliance for cleansing a surface area of the skin including a separately applicable cleansing appliance adapted to fit tightly against the surface of the body and being provided with an inlet for injection of liquid and an outlet. The appliance includes two walls of flexible material, with the rear wall having an opening suitable for surrounding the surface area of the skin to be cleansed. The front wall is provided with an adapter secured sealingly to the wall, with an opening in the front wall giving access to the internal space between the front and rear walls through the adapter. A plurality of holes separate from the openings in the front and rear walls create a venturi effect to reduce the risk that a vacuum may tend to draw the front wall against the rear wall and cause the bag to collapse.
