| Abstract: |
A nasal dressing holder consisting of an elastic band positionable under the nose for holding a nasal dressing and packing in place, a pair of non-stretchable straps on either side of the band positionable across the cheeks, and a pair of thin elastic loops which are positionable around the ears for holding the device in place. A double-sided hook tab is positionable between a folded end of the strap and another portion of the strap and is releasably attachable to loop material on the strap, to enable releasable and adjustable attachment of the device to a patient. The tension applied to the dressing and packing can be varied by adjusting the folded connection between the strap and the loop.

We claim:
1. A nasal dressing holder for releasable attachment to a patient comprising:
- an elongated central elastic band having opposing ends, the band being of a first width sized to fit beneath a patient's nose and hold a dressing against the nostrils without engaging the patient's upper lip;
- a pair of substantially inelastic support straps having first ends attached to the opposing ends of the central band and adapted to lie against the patient's cheeks;
- a pair of elastic ear loops, one attached to a second end of each support strap and adapted to encircle a different one of the patient's ears for releasably attaching the holder to the patient's head; and
- releasable strap-length adjusting means permitting release of the central band from beneath the patient's nose to change a dressing and to adjust the length of each support strap to vary the amount of tension applied by the band for holding the nasal dressing in place.
