Non-woven fabric mouth tape supporting nasal breathing with integrated silicone gel

Abstract

A mouth tape for promoting nasal breathing during sleep comprises a non-woven fabric substrate with an adhesive surface for adhering to perioral skin, and an integrated silicone gel section with a gentle adhesive surface for contacting the lips. The silicone gel section is positioned within the non-woven fabric substrate, creating a configuration where sensitive lip tissue contacts only the gentle silicone gel while the stronger adhesive of the non-woven fabric provides secure attachment to less sensitive perioral skin. This design maintains mouth closure throughout sleep while allowing trauma-free removal upon waking. Included ventilation features enhance user comfort. The invention solves the long-standing problem of balancing secure adhesion with gentle removal in mouth tape applications.
