<p>A device for use in protection of the human ear, in the form of self-supporting substantially flat member (2), having an external outline (8) somewhat larger than the outline of the auricle, and having an opening (12) through the central part of the member of a size to permit the helix of the auricle to pass through the opening, the posterior boundary (16) of the opening being convex rearwards, and the anterior boundary including at its mid height a lobe (18) projecting rearwards into the opening, so that the member can be supported on the auricle, with the lobe lying adjacent to the tragus. The device may be combined with a cover enclosing a space adjacent to one face of the member. The device may be used in surgery and in hair treatment. </p> |
