Dental bib with attached adhesive tab

A method for preparing for use and disposal a one-patient used dental bib with adhesive means thereon for adhesive attachment to a patient of a type heretofore having said adhesive means incident to the use of said bib exposed for attaching service upon the removal of an adhesive-inert release tab from covering relation over said adhesive means and unavoidably requiring disposal of said adhesive-inert release tab, said method comprising the steps of attaching tabs with adhesive deposits thereon at spaced-apart locations along an upper edge of said bib and in an ascending extending relation therefrom, folding said tabs in a descending pivotal traverse upon tab length portions affixed to said bib to cover said adhesive deposits thereon so as to obviate any inadvertent adhesive attachments by said tabs during handling and storage of said bibs, unfolding said tab to expose said adhesive deposits preparatory to patient use of said bib incident to tab attachment to said patient without removal of release strip means as might contribute to litter accumulation, removing after a one-patient use said bib from said patient for disposal, and folding said tabs again in said descending pivotal traverse to cover said adhesive deposits preparatory to placement in a disposal repository, whereby there is obviated any inadvertent attachment to said disposal repository or any loose debris therein as might result from an uncovered adhesive deposit of said disposed dental bib.
