ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for preventing a nasal passage of a nose from constricting during breathing, the nose including a summit and a spaced-apart base presenting an orifice and an outer wall bounding a nasal passage, the outer wall having a substantially concave outer surface extending substantially from the summit to the base, the apparatus comprising a resilient body having a normal state, the resilient body engagable when flexed with the substantially concave surface of the nose extending longitudinally substantially from the summit to the base, the inherent tendency of the resilient body to assume the normal state to stabilize the outer wall substantially from the summit to the base and prevent the outer wall from drawing inwardly during breathing.
