ABSTRACT:
A post-surgery lip and chin protector is described. The protector includes a barrier section having a sufficient area to cover the lips and chin of the patient. A hole is formed in the barrier section in a position so that the hole will be adjacent to the patient's mouth when the patient wears the protector. A flexible area is formed in the barrier section adjacent to the patient's lips to enable the patient to open and close his mouth while wearing the protector. Finally, the protector includes flanges that project into the patient's mouth and beneath the patient's chin to secure the protector in its desired position. Additionally, the protector can further include a strap that fits around the patient's head when the protector is worn.
