Abstract: A nasal dilator for preventing outer wall tissue of nasal passages of a nose from drawing in during breathing. There is an arcuate spring member for bridging a human nose, the spring member extending over the bridge and at least partly beyond the bridge on both sides of the bridge. An arcuate pad with an adhesive surface covers the spring member and extends around the spring member so that there is a perimeter of space formed between the spring member and the pad member. The spring is inset centrally in the pad. An adhesive between the spring member and the pad wholly connects the spring member on its entire engaging surface with the pad. The pad may include a protrusion to facilitate centralizing the dilator on the nose in use and there can be several overlapping release liners to facilitate use of the dilator.
