Surgical Mask "Ear Savers"
As you may be aware, many of NHS staff have been saying that the surgical masks they are required to wear throughout their shifts are causing considerable discomfort from rubbing behind their ears.
I live in Ludlow and I am 3D printing, what are called, Surgical Mask Ear Savers. It is a plastic band/strap that fits around the back of the head that the elastic from the mask is hooked on relieving the pressure on the ears which makes the masks much more comfortable to wear for long periods.
Healthcare professionals in the UK and all around the world are using these aids that people have printed at home. The comments have been amazing and NHS staff are very pleased with them so I’ve decided to make them too.
They are easily cleaned using disinfectant or even hand sanitizer as required. They can also just be disposed of at the end of their shift, whichever is appropriate.
These are Free Of Charge to all NHS staff, care workers, etc....
