[0032] In this embodiment, a metal strip 7 is provided inside the edge of the second surrounding part 5 away from the ear model cover 2. When the second surrounding part 5 is applied to the skin, the metal strip 7 is bent and shaped according to the side contour of the ear. The metal strip 7 is embedded in the edge of the second surrounding part 5, allowing the user to adjust the curvature of the metal strip 7 according to their own ear shape to achieve a closer fit and further improve the comfort and stability of wearing it.

[0033] In this embodiment, a first medical tape 10 is provided on the back of the first surrounding portion 4, and a second medical tape 11 is provided on the back of the second surrounding portion 5, located on one side of the metal strip 7. Both the first medical tape 10 and the second medical tape 11 are adhered to the skin beside the auricle. The first medical tape 10 has a horizontal U-shaped structure, allowing it to be arranged along the edge of the first surrounding portion 4 and adhere closely to the skin. The second medical tape 11 has an arc-shaped structure, allowing it to be arranged along the edge of the second surrounding portion 5 and adhere closely to the skin. The design of the first medical tape 10 and the second medical tape 11 increases stability. The first medical tape 10 and the second medical tape 11 are respectively provided on the back of the first surrounding portion 4 and the second surrounding portion 5 to enhance adhesion to the skin, ensuring that the auricle dressing assembly 1 will not easily fall off even during exercise or sweating.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first surrounding part 4, the second surrounding part 5, and the auricle model cover 2, from the outside to the inside, sequentially include a first breathable layer 12, a protective meltblown layer 13, a second breathable layer 14, and a skin-friendly nonwoven fabric 15 bonded together. The design of the two breathable materials, the first breathable layer 12 and the second breathable layer 14, is intended to ensure air circulation in the auricle area, reduce moisture accumulation, prevent skin problems, and maintain the activity of the drug. The protective meltblown layer 13, located between the first breathable layer 12 and the second breathable layer 14, provides additional filtration and protection, preventing external pollutants from contacting the skin while maintaining good breathability. The skin-friendly nonwoven fabric 15, the innermost material, directly contacts the skin and is made of a soft and comfortable material to reduce friction damage and improve wearing comfort.

[0035] In this embodiment, a fastening connecting mesh 16 is provided between the skin-friendly non-woven fabric 15 and the second breathable layer 14. One side of the fastening connecting mesh 16 is embedded inside the second breathable layer 14, and the other side is embedded inside the skin-friendly non-woven fabric 15.
