Abstract
A device for dislodging and removing mucositys from the nostril of the user. The device consists of an elongated body made of waxed paper or twisted paper or similar material. The central portion is padded and the two distal ends also have discrete padded areas. The device in use is folded over to present a doubled-over padded section of considerable thickness. The two ends have slightly raised loops (angled above the longitudinal axis) to form padded scoops. The scoops may be hollow to form an eyelet or may be closed to form pads or spoons.
