ABSTRACT:
A disposable neck protection device that not only covers the neck region, but is comprised of a material which prevents particles from penetrating it while at the same time, allowing the wearer's skin to breathe. The device covers the cheeks and other areas below the level of the wearer's eyes. The device attaches to the front of a mask via sticky tabs or Velcro, having its main portion draping down the front of the neck just below the clavicles, its lower portion fastening behind the wearer's neck via fasteners such as ties, buttons, Velcro or similar means. The neck protection device can be manufactured to accommodate any standard or custom size. The device is made of an absorbent outer layer and an impermeable inner layer which prevents debris from contacting the user's skin yet allows for air flow. The lower end of the device can fit under a gown whereas at the top, it attaches directly to the mask.
