Abstract

A nasal dilator (10") for placing on a user's nose and for improving respiration through the nose by dilation of the user's nostrils comprises a central, resilient, beam-shaped element (12) and two attaching elements (14 and 16) placed at respective ends of the beam-shaped element for attachment to respective sides of the user's nose.
The beam-shaped element (12) extends in use from one side of the user's nose across the bridge of the user's nose to the other side of the user's nose and the central, resilient, beam-shaped element (12) and the two attaching elements (14, 16) are integrally made of plastic. The nasal dilator (10") constitutes a configuration which is symmetrical relative to a central plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the beam-shaped element and preferably constitutes an overall curved structure or alternatively a substantially plane structure. The central, resilient, beam-shaped element exhibits a rigidity increasing from the central plane towards the two attaching elements (14, 16) and the two attaching elements constitute substantially, plane, flat-shaped elements constituting extensions of the central, resilient, beam-shaped element (12) to which attaching elements a skin-compatible adhesive (20) is applied.
