Abstract:

An adjustable facial dressing for compression and/or support of and thermal treatment of facial features for medical treatment is disclosed. A main band elastic can be positioned on the face (head or neck) in various positions by adjusting the position of an integral hook tape tab at any position along the main band. A thermal treatment assembly having a pouch containing a thermal reservoir is removably engageable with the band at any position, such that temperature treatment is effectively provided to any part of a face. A separate anchor strap has hook tape tabs at its ends. The hook tape tabs each engage one of two generally opposite sides of the main band around only one side of the face (head or neck). The anchor strap hook tape tabs can engage the main band at any position along the main band, to thereby provide compression or support of the face/head/neck area covered and assist in maintaining the position of the main band on the face. More than one anchor strap may be used.
