  • Publication number: 20220117330
    Abstract: An aftermarket device for attachment to a facial mask includes a support layer and an adhesive segment. The support layer is sized to fold over and under a central portion of an upper edge of the facial mask and to extend laterally from centrally along the upper edge of the mask. The adhesive segment is connected to the support layer configured to connect to the facial mask. The device supports the facial mask during wear to conform the upper edge of the mask to a wearer's face along the nose and the cheeks under the eyes. The device extends the facial mask along bridge of the wearer's nose. The device may assist in comfort of mask wear, avoidance of irritation of the mask against skin, and limit frequent hand adjustment of the mask during wear.
