Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The field of the invention relates to respiratory health devices, specifically to nasal dilation products aimed at improving airflow through the nasal passages. It is designed for individuals experiencing nasal congestion, breathing difficulties, or sleep-related breathing issues, offering a customizable solution for enhanced nasal comfort and efficiency.
BACKGROUD OF THE INVENTION:
Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
Nasal congestion and restricted airflow are common issues faced by many individuals, often caused by allergies, colds, deviated septum, or sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Breathing difficulties can significantly impact quality of life, leading to discomfort during daily activities, disturbed sleep, snoring, and, in severe cases, contributing to health conditions like hypertension, fatigue, and reduced cognitive performance. Effective breathing is crucial for overall well-being, as it supports oxygen intake, regulates blood pressure, and enhances sleep quality. Despite the prevalence of breathing-related issues, existing solutions like nasal sprays, oral medications, and fixed nasal stripss have limitations in providing both immediate and long-term relief, often offering temporary solutions or causing side effects.
Traditional nasal stripss are designed to enhance nasal airflow by externally lifting and widening the nasal passages. These fixed-size stripss apply a constant pressure that may not suit all users, leading to either inadequate dilation or discomfort due to excessive pressure. Fixed nasal stripss also lack flexibility in terms of user-specific adjustment, making them less effective for individuals with varied nasal structures, skin types, or specific breathing requirements. The one-size-fits-all approach of traditional products often results in suboptimal results, limiting user satisfaction and overall effectiveness. Furthermore, these fixed stripss may cause skin irritation or leave adhesive residue, adding to user inconvenience. Users often need to try multiple products before finding one that offers some degree of relief, indicating the need for a more personalized solution.
