Abstract:

An apparatus for temporarily repairing a pierced human earlobe that is entirely cleft through from the pierced hole, or an earlobe whereupon the pierced hole is so enlarged as to preclude the wearing of pierced or post-type earrings, is provided by a strip of flexible, polymeric, essentially transparent, non-allergenic material, adhering to the front, bottom and back of the earlobe and forming a structural bridge over the damaged tissue, whereby the post of an earring may be inserted in the location of the original pierce and the weight of the earring is transferred into the earlobe tissue by the adhesive-coated material.
