External Nasal Dilation Device

Abstract

An external nasal dilation device for enhancing nasal airflow includes a pair of pads, each of which has adhesive positioned on its lower face. The adhesive is used to removably attach the pads to opposed sides of a nose of a user. Each flap of a pair of flaps is hingedly attached to an upper face of a respective pad so that the flap is hingable relative to the respective pad. A panel is attached to each panel by an adhesive such that the panel extends between the flaps. The panel is resiliently flexible so that the panel extends arcuately over a bridge of the nose. The panel exerts opposing forces to nostrils of the user to expand the nostrils.
