<p>An ear flattening device having a pair of flexible pads (10, 12) connected directly together by bonding (14) or riveting (16) at the longitudinal and lateral center point of the pair of pads (10, 12). The outer sides of the pads (10, 12) are provided with a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive (18) for releasably bonding the pads (10, 12) one to the back side of the ear and the other to the confronting skin surface of the head. The adhesive layers (18) are protected temporarily by a removable cover sheet (20). Preferably, the pads (10, 12) are anatomically configured with one side edge that corresponds to the curvature of the concha of the ear so that the device may be positioned as closely as possible to the concha while maximizing the skin surface area behind the ear for adhesion of the pads (10, 12). In a second embodiment a second layer of pad material (10, 12) is adhered to the outside surfaces of the pad members (10, 12).</p> |
