Elastic extension for surgical mask by gaugo

Last crawled date: 3 years, 5 months ago

Personally, the elastic bands of surgical masks hurt extremely badly above ears, after wearing the mask 8 hours a day, for a week. This system relieves my ears.
The advantage of this system is that the mask can be removed as easily as a conventional surgical mask. There is no fixing system to put behind the neck.
Creation of the extension system:
Take the rubber bands from an old mask,
Tie a knot at the end of these 2 elastics,
Place a tab at each end of the rubber bands.
Using the system to extend the length of the elastics of a new mask :
Place the rubber bands in the groove of the tabs (2 tabs per rubber band),
Place the elastics in the groove a second time, making a small loop,
Adjust the location of the tabs, and the loop, to vary the final length.
