ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method for use and a protective cover apparatus for ear-mounted nasal air supply hoses which prevents skin discomfort, irritation, blisters, abrasions, pressure sores and other injuries and which promotes healing of such irritation, injuries and sores. The invention incorporates a generally rectangular, elongated strip of flexible fabric which is wrapped around a segment of the air supply hoses and fastened along confronting margins on opposing edges of the strip. The flexible fabric strip incorporates an outer cover of lambs wool or similar material for protecting the skin and an inner padding of slightly adhesive or high-friction material, such as a thin layer of latex rubber or releasable adhesive to inhibit longitudinal movement of the protective cover along the air hose. The strip of material is supplied in either pre-cut lengths of a predetermined size or a roll for easy dispensing and convenient storage. The protective cover also incorporates a plurality of pairs of release tabs extending from the opposing edges which are pulled apart to facilitate removal of the cover from the air hose. The pairs of release tabs are spaced apart on the uncut roll of material at predetermined intervals and in such numbers such that at least one pair of release tabs are present on the protective cover for easy removal.
