Abstract

A method for retaining a dry tissue dispenser on a horizontal surface within reach of a patient. Extracting dry tissue from the dispenser often requires holding the dispenser with one hand and extracting the dry tissue with the other hand. Hospital, rehab facility, and assisted living facility patients often have the use of only one hand, making extracting the dry tissue very difficult and frustrating. The dispenser includes a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) pad for temporary attaching to a horizontal surface. The dispenser with the PSA pad on the bottom may be attached to a night stand, table, or desk next to a bed or seating, etc., within the reach of the patient to easily extract tissue from the dispenser using only a single hand. The PSA is initially covered by a release layer torn away to expose a low strength adhesive.
