| Abstract: |
The device includes in combination a rigid ellipsoidal support base having a concave interior surface and a convex exterior surface and an adhesive material for attaching to human epidermis layered on a predominance of the entire convex interior surface. The device is particularly useful to prevent snoring in a sleeping human by providing support to the maxillofacial muscles of a user's face to provide a small air passage between the maxillofacial muscles of the face and the jaws which allows for the intake and output of air such that the sleeping individual does not have to intake and output air through the nose.
