Jaw support bandage

摘要

A jaw support bandage includes a jaw support body comprised of a jaw and chin engaging portion and cheek and temporal engaging portions. First and second pairs of mating straps extend from the jaw support body, and each strap is provided with a quick release type fastener on its outer end for attachment to its associated mating strap. When the jaw support bandage is applied to the head of a patient, the mating interconnected straps are spaced from each other a predetermined distance to prevent slippage of the bandage from the patient's head. In one embodiment of the invention, the mating interconnected straps extend over the coronal portion of the patient's head. In another embodiment of the invention, one mating pair of straps extends over the coronal portion of the patient's head and the other mating pair of straps extends around the forehead and rear portion of the patient's head.
