Abstract
A surgical drape support for positioning on a patient's chest to support a drape above the patient's nose and mouth includes a main arch defining an inner main surface, an outer main surface, a main crown, a first main base edge, and a second main base edge. A first lower foot extends downward from the first main base edge and away from the outer main surface. A second lower foot extends downward from the second main base edge and away from the outer main surface. A first upper foot and a second upper foot extend upwards and away from the outer main surface to a position above the main crown. When the first lower foot and the second lower foot are positioned on the patient's chest they are configured to support the drape over the patient's nose and mouth.
