MEDICAL SUPPORT FOR DELIVERY OF A TREATMENT TO THE NOSE

摘要

The present invention provides a wearable medical support for delivery of a treatment to the nose of a subject comprising: a nose mask formed from a heat moldable sheet of thermoplastic material, said nose mask comprises an aperture dimensioned to fit the nose of the subject, said aperture is flanked by two flaps whereby each flap is configured to be in contact with at least part of a lateral side of the nose; and a device configured to close fit said aperture, said device is provided at one end with an opening for receiving the nose and at the other end with at least one coupling suitable to be connected to one or more tubes for delivery of the treatment to the nose. The present invention further provides a sheet of heat moldable thermoplastic material for molding a mask directly on a subject's nose.

主权项

1. Sheet of heat moldable thermoplastic material for molding a mask directly on a subject's nose via thermoforming, said sheet is initially substantially flat and comprises one or more fixtures for attachment to a strap and a nose opening, wherein said nose opening has an substantially inverted T shape comprising a slit which is extending to a lower opening, which opening is substantially perpendicular to the slit, whereby the slit delimits two flanking flaps; said sheet after thermoforming on a subject's nose, extends across at least part of the cheek bones of the subject, whereby the nose bridge of the subject protrudes at least partially through said slit, the nose nostrils of the subject protrude at least partially through said lower opening; and each lateral side of the nose of the subject is at least partially covered by a flanking flap.
