Additional Information
Sometimes they are used to protect a patient's ears. Place a large or medium Ring under the patient's ear to hold the head away from the pillow. It can be placed inside an empty pillowcase, so the patient's head is not directly touching the vinyl cover. Ensure that the pillowcase is loosely fitted inside the middle hole to prevent the pillowcase material from pressing against the ear.
