Cleavage pad

Abstract

A cleavage pad for adhering to the skin wherein the outer contour of the cleavage pad is formed by a substantially concave contour and a substantially convex contour having rounded portions in the transitions of both contours, wherein a point of intersection A of the convex contour is provided with an axis of symmetry and a point of intersection B of the concave contour is provided with the axis of symmetry, and wherein a perpendicular projection of the point of the rounded portions of the largest spaced interval from the point of intersection A to the axis of symmetry produces a point C and the ratio of the distance AB/AC is less than 0.8.
