Abstract

An oxygen mask for use on an infant is provided. The oxygen mask includes a face mask and a strap assembly connected to the face mask and extendable around the head of the infant for holding the face mask snugly against the infant's face. The strap assembly includes an upper rear strap, a lower rear strap, and a plurality of forward straps. The upper rear strap and the lower rear strap are joined so that the upper and lower rear straps form a loop. A first pair of the forward straps extend from the loop at a first juncture and each strap is adjustably connected to the face mask in a spaced apart relation. Similarly, a second pair of forward straps extend from an opposing side of the loop at a second juncture and are adjustably connected to the face mask in a spaced apart relation. The upper rear strap, the lower rear strap, and the forward straps are sized and oriented relative to one another such that when the face mask and the strap assembly are operably donned on the infant, each of the first and second junctures is positioned substantially above a corresponding ear of the infant, the upper rear strap is positioned across a top side of the infant's head, and the lower rear strap is positioned across a rearward side of the infant's head.
