Abstract:
A convex, generally cone-shaped working surface and a generally planar base configured to fit comfortably in a user's hand is described. The device is configured to be shape-retentive by its elastic composition such that it momentarily deforms slightly under pressure but returns in the absence of pressure to its original generally cone shape. The device in one configuration has a single apex region or working surface. The device in another configuration has two spaced apart apex regions or working surfaces. The device can be integrally molded from one or more materials chosen from a group consisting of silicone, polyurethane, neoprene, or the like. A method of using the device also is described.
