Abstract:
1. A method for preventing sleep apnea of a user, comprising: maintaining an upper lip and a lower lip of a face of the user in a closed posture; maintaining a jaw of the face of the user in a closed posture; orienting adhesive just above and below a permeation in a pad; affixing the pad to the upper lip and the lower lip of the user with the adhesive while said maintaining the lips of the face of the user in the closed posture; affixing the pad to the jaw of the face of the user with the adhesive while maintaining the jaw of the face of the user in the closed posture; covering a mouth of the user with the pad; covering the upper lip and the lower lip of the user with the pad; covering cheeks of the user with the pad; the pad facilitating respiration through the nasal passages, preventing airflow through the mouth of the user; the pad remaining wholly external to the mouth of the user; the pad holding the mouth of the user in a natural closed position; ensuring that a tongue of the user will not relax during sleep; ensuring that the jaw of the user will not relax during sleep; forming a semi-secure seal over the mouth of the user with the pad; and ensuring dirt and contaminants do not compromise sterility of the pad.
