Perspiration Absorption/Prevention Headband Device with Cooling Means

摘要

A perspiration absorption/prevention device designed for use in medical applications, specifically for use by surgeons or other medical personnel. The device is preferably comprised of a headband base member, an absorbent pad, a pocket member and a cooling means stored therein, but may further comprise an adjustment means for further securing the device to a user's forehead or neck area. The cooling means prevents the formation of perspiration on the user, and fatigue generally. Further, any perspiration that does form is quickly absorbed by the absorbent pad before it can drip from the user and onto the patient, surgical tools, etc. The absorbent pad is both detachable from the remainder of the device, and disposable. In this manner, the remainder of the device can be recycled or reused, costs may be lowered and medical waste reduced.
