Abstract

The device comprises an electrode arrangement adapted for insertion between the patient lips so as to make electrical contact with at least one of the lips when the lips are closed but not otherwise, and an electrical circuit arranged to operate an indicator when cessation of contact is detected so that the patient is reminded to keep his lips closed. In one form, there is a secondary electrode attached to a remote part of the patient's body, the detector detecting when an electrical circuit through the body is broken by a sensor electrode falling from the lips. In another form, the sensor electrode 46 is upwardly hooked 50 to contact the upper lip, and the detector detects absence of electrical contact between sensor electrode and a frame 32 hooked behind the lower lip. <IMAGE>
