ABSTRACT:
A nosepiece for the administration of supplemental oxygen to a patient through a nasal cavity includes a hollow stem which has one end adapted for the application of oxygen thereto and which has a remote end adapted to be received within a nostril of a patient. A plurality of flexible locating fingers integrally extend from the remote end and are folded back to an outer surface of the stem and are retained in an adjusted position on the stem by an encircling O-ring. The effective width of the nosepiece may be adjusted by sliding the O-ring along the stem to cause the fingers to either lie flatter or bow outwardly from the stem to provide comfort in the retention of the nosepiece within the nasal cavity.
