    Abstract: An appliance adapted to engage and expand nasal passages of a nose and prevent their collapse is disclosed. The appliance includes angularly oriented first and second legs having distal ends insertable into the nasal passageways. A bridge member connects proximal ends of the legs to one another. Third and fourth legs are connected to the first and second legs and have distal ends that engage opposite outer surfaces of the nose. The first and second legs are adjustable in both the coronal and sagittal planes to accommodate noses of various sizes and shapes. Porous substrates and soluble compounds may be attached to the first and second legs and deliver medicaments or other compounds.
