Nasal dressing system

A nasal dressing apparatus for attachment to a patient's head to absorb drainage from a patient's nose, said nasal dressing apparatus comprising:

• an absorbent dressing;
• an elastic strap means for extending around the patient's head to secure said absorbent dressing under the patient's nose, said strap means including, at least, a strap first end defining a first hollow opening and a strap second end defining a second hollow opening;
• a coupling device interposed between said strap first end said strap second end, said coupling device including, at least,
• a coupling first end for insertion into said first hollow opening,
• a coupling second end for insertion into said second hollow opening, and
• an adjustment means for adjusting the relative positions of said strap first end and said strap second end, said adjustment means including, at least, a plurality of circular barbs;
• a restraining means for restricting movement of said absorbent dressing relative to said strap means, said restraining means including, at least, a gripping element interposed between said strap means and said absorbent dressing;
• and
• a fastening means for removably securing said absorbent dressing in a lengthwise wrapped position all the way around said strap means so as to surround said strap means in order to better secure said absorbent dressing under a patient's nose after said absorbent dressing has begun to absorb drainage.

A method of absorbing nasal drainage comprising the steps of:

• forming a support strap into a loop;
• connecting an absorbent dressing to the support strap by removably wrapping the absorbent dressing all the way around at least a lengthwise portion of the support strap so as to surround the strap in order to better secure the absorbent dressing along the support strap after the absorbent dressing begins to absorb nasal drainage;
• positioning the loop around a patient head;
• and
• positioning the absorbent dressing under a patient nose.

A nasal dressing apparatus for attachment to a patient's head to absorb drainage from a patient's nose, said nasal dressing apparatus comprising:

• an absorbent dressing;
• a strap means for extending completely around the patient's head to secure said absorbent dressing under the patient's nose, said strap means including, at least, a strap first end and a strap second end;
• and
• a coupling device interposed between said strap first end and said strap second end, said coupling device including, at least, an adjustment means for adjusting the relative positions of said strap first end and said strap second end, said adjustment means including, at least, a plurality of circular barbs,
• wherein said absorbent dressing is wrapped all the way around at least a lengthwise portion of said strap means so as to surround said strap means in order to better secure said absorbent dressing under the patient's nose after said absorbent dressing has begun to absorb drainage.
