<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sleep apnea syndrome countermeasure kit, etc. hardly removable unconsciously while a large therapeutic effect can be expected. <P>SOLUTION: A pad 3 abutting on the right and left rear edge 7 of a mandible bone 5 is stuck to the skin with a tape 15. A pressing protrusion 9 formed at the rear end of the pad 3 abuts on a pillow 13 to cause pressure to the mandible bone 5 toward the front of the face. Drooping of a tongue and the soft palate into the respiratory tract, which is the cause of a sleep apnea syndrome, occurs from the front to the rear of the face in a state of lying face up. There is therefore no deviation in a pressing direction that prevents drooping. The large therapeutic effect can thereby be expected. The kit can be put on from the rear of the face without being put on from the front of the face and is hardly removed unconsciously by a patient during sleep. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
