ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a fastening member (1) which is placed into a patient's cavity, such as a nostril, surrounded by tissue, and which allows a flow through the cavity through a port (5) and which can be joined to the measuring device via a suitable connecting piece (2). The fastening member (1) is flexible, whereby it can be formed, before being placed into the cavity, into a shape or size which fits better into the cavity, whereupon the fastening member, in the cavity, tends to return towards the original state by pressing against the surrounding wall of the cavity.
