Abstract
This invention is a nasal dilator (20) for dilating a first nasal passage and a second nasal passage of a nose, including an elastic element (32) having a first end (30) and a second end (32), the elastic element movable toward an expanded configuration wherein the length of the elastic element (32) increases, and biases to a retracted configuration wherein the length of the elastic element (32) is reduced. The nasal dilator (10) further includes an adhesive (42') carried proximate the first end (30) for attaching the first end (30) to an outer wall of the first nasal passage, and an adhesive (42') carried proximate the second end (32) for attaching the second end (32) to an outer wall of the second nasal passage.
