Abstract: An improved adjustable nasal dilator device insertable within the nasal cavity of a human being to improve the flow of air through the nasal passage. The device includes a body, a top and bottom frame ends interconnected by a series of spaced flexible ribs. The top and bottom frame ends are open and substantially circular, and the diameter of the bottom frame end is greater than the corresponding diameter of the top frame end to provide a body shape for convenient insertion within a nasal cavity.

Abstract: An adjustable nasal cavity dilation device includes a first deformable body having a shape corresponding to the nasal cavity. Top and bottom frame ends of the body are interconnected by a flexible wall structure that undergoes deformation in response to movement of one frame end relative to the other. A releasable holding member includes a ring that engages the bottom frame end and an upstanding central member that engages the top frame end. The ring and the upstanding central member are coupled by a plurality of radial arms. The flexible wall structure is deformed and effective for urging against nasal cavity walls to increase air flow through the nasal passage when the top and bottom frame ends are maintained in a holding condition by the ring and the upstanding central member. The ring and radial arms define openings that permit passage of air into and out of the nasal cavity through the releasable holding member.

Abstract: A method of improving air flow through a nasal cavity includes providing an adjustable nasal cavity dilation device with a first deformable body having a shape corresponding to the nasal cavity so as to enable insertion of the device within the nasal cavity. The body includes top and bottom frame ends interconnected by a flexible wall structure that undergoes lateral deformation in response to movement of one frame end toward and away from the other, and a releasable holding member with complementary mating components that engage with the top and bottom frame ends and are adapted to adjustably maintain the top and bottom frame ends at a desired distance in a holding condition.
