Appl. No.:

15/690236

Inventors:

Kathleen Burns - Pueblo CO, US

International Classification:

A45D 44/12

Abstract:

A facial skin indentation preventer has a central base core surrounded by an entrapment flap and a securing flap. The core and flaps have at least a single layer of soft moleskin, felt, or similar material forming an outer skin-contact layer that is non-adhesive. A rigid component is attached to the outer skin-contact layer in a center of the preventer, thereby defining a central base core. The central base core can have a cannula or similar item placed thereon. The flaps are then folded inwards, over the rigid component, creating a cannula pocket above the rigid component and entrapping and holding the cannula therein. An entrapment hinge and securing hinge ensure the folds remain rounded and soft. A flap attachment is used to lock the securing flap to the entrapment flap and ensure the cannula stays within the cannula pocket.

Abstract:

A facial skin indentation preventer has a central base core surrounded by an entrapment flap and a securing flap. The core and flaps have two layers: a soft moleskin or similar skin-contact layer and a second more rigid layer. A rigid cushion is attached to the central base core and a cannula or similar item can be placed thereon. The flaps are then folded inwards, over the rigid cushion, creating a cannula pocket above the rigid cushion and entrapping and holding the cannula therein. An entrapment hinge and securing hinge ensure the folds remain rounded and soft. A flap attachment is used to lock the securing flap in place and ensure the cannula stays within the cannula pocket.
