  • Publication number: 20070118943
    Abstract: A wearable tissue/handkerchief, cough/sneeze absorbent pad according to the invention comprises a washable, reusable armband or alternately, a completely disposable unit consisting of an adhesive strip, either to which is attached one or more disposable absorbent pads/tissues. These pads can be peeled off and used while held in the hand as a conventional tissue but preferably, when worn on one's arm, can be coughed/sneezed into while the device is on the arm. This allows the device to be utilized even when one's hands are not available, such as for anyone working in a health care setting, a chef preparing food or a waiter carrying plates of food. This prevents the common occurrence of sneezing/coughing out into the air or into one's hands or sleeve, which are unsanitary practices.
