Results for tag: "External Nasal Dilator"

External nasal dilators are non-prescription devices designed to improve airflow through the nostrils during respiratory activities. Within the realm of surgical devices, they are relatively simple, non-invasive tools often utilized to alleviate breathing difficulties without surgical intervention. Typically, these are adhesive strips worn over the nose that mechanically open the nasal passages, potentially offering relief from congestion, reducing snoring, and assisting with sleep-related breathing disorders. They work by pulling the outer walls of the nasal passages apart, which can be especially beneficial during physical activities or for individuals with deviated septal structures. While external nasal dilators are not surgical devices themselves, they can serve as a complementary aid for patients who may be evaluating or recovering from nasal surgeries, or those seeking alternatives to surgical procedures. Prominent companies in the external nasal dilator market include GlaxoSmithKline with their Breathe Right strips, Splintek, Inc. that offers the Intra-Nasal Breathe Aid, and Rhinomed Limited known for the Mute Nasal Dilator. Other players include Scandinavian Formulas, who produce the Nozovent Nasal Dilator, and WoodyKnows, which offers a range of nasal relief devices. These companies are engaged in the development and commercialization of products aimed at improving respiratory function through non-surgical means. Show Less Read more
