  • Publication number: 20040261798
    Abstract: A disposable nose filter comprises a flexible housing, a positively ionized filtering component, a flange, an optional adhesive component, and an interconnecting component. The nose filter is adapted to be easily inserted and removed from the nostril. When positioned in the nasal passage of the nostril the nose filter becomes fixedly attached inside the nostril through the optional adhesive component, until removal. The interconnecting component prevents the nose filter from moving undesirably into the nasal cavity. The positively ionized filtering material attracts and retains negatively ionized particles from the air.

  • Patent number: 5890491
    Abstract: A disposable nose filter to be inserted in a nostril, including a flexible housing, a filtering component, a flange and an adhesive component. The nose filter is adapted to be easily inserted and removed from the nostril. When positioned in the nasal passage of a nostril the nose filter becomes fixedly attached inside the nostril through the adhesive component, until removal. The flange forms a seal with the lower exterior portion of the nostril, thus, forcing air through the filter and preventing air from passing between the housing and the inner walls of the nostril.
