ABSTRACT:
Nasal dilators and methods for improving the breathing of individuals are provided. The dilator includes an elongated substrate having top and bottom surfaces and a pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed on the bottom surface. A resilient member is bonded to the substrate to provide a gentle expanding force to the nasal wall tissue when the dilator is adhesively attached to the nose. This invention further includes an aromatic medication or transdermal medication disposed on the dilator to further improve breathing. Ideal aromatic medications include camphor and menthol. Reinforcing scrims, layers and thermoplastics melt-bonding procedures are also provided for improving properties and minimizing costs.
