Abstract
A device for treating distal extremities of the hand such as lacerations, burns, injuries, infections, etc., with a liquid treatment solution. The device includes a reservoir for holding the liquid treatment solution and a ramp connected thereto that is adapted to serve as a support for a user's forearm. The device is designed such that the user's hand knuckles and fingers are able to soak in the liquid treatment solution without contacting the base or side of the reservoir, thereby providing thorough all-surface treatment, while being supported in ergonomically comfortable position for prolonged treatment.
