  • Patent number: 10779664
    Abstract: CNH Donut is a pressure and pain relieving prosthesis, and sleep aid, to be used with a standard pillow, for persons suffering with Chondrodermatitis nodularis chronic helicis, (CNH) Invention is a novel assemblage, comprised of 2 contiguous foam strips, curved into a “lachrymiform” shape, covered in cylindrical nylon spandex, then affixed with a headstrap, allowing patients to sleep directly on the injured ear, to roll over, and sleep on their preferred side, without pain. Invention is lightweight, yet firm enough to support a head. The smaller size, and unique “contiguous” placement of thick foam bands, as opposed to stuffing or fill, creates CNH Donut's distinctive strength, and “teardrop shaped” inner circle, using the natural arc, and firm properties of the foam to best advantage.
