Nasal Dilator Devices

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, wherein the second and third planes are orthogonal to the first plane.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, wherein the first intermediate section and the second intermediate section are right angled sections.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, wherein the first and second intermediate sections are arranged, in use, to engage with the septum and extend from the septum behind the columella and alar fibrofatty tissue of the nose, allowing the first and second cantilever rib members, in use, to extend along respective nasal orifices to an inner wall of the nostrils.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, wherein the first and second cantilever rib members are arcuate cantilever rib members, each having a curvature along its length.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, wherein the first and second intermediate sections are arcuate intermediate sections, each having a curvature along its length.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, wherein the second and third planes are converging planes such that the first and second cantilever rib members are angled and/or extend substantially toward the central portion of the U-shaped body.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, wherein the first and second cantilever rib members exhibit an elongate arched profile which approximates at least a portion of one of a circle, ellipse or parabola.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, wherein the first and second leg members are inclined towards each other such that a relatively greater distance is provided between the first and second leg members towards the central portion accommodate a columella of a nose when donned by the user.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, wherein the first and second intermediate sections are inclined away from each other to assist in urging the respective first and second cantilever rib members against inner walls of respective nostrils when worn by the user.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, wherein the first and second cantilever rib members comprise respective first and second nostril engaging elements for engaging with an inner wall of a respective nostril.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, wherein the first and second nostril engaging elements are disposed at distal ends of the first and second cantilever rib members, respectively.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, wherein the at least one projection is formed from an overmould material.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, further comprising a first and second releasable attachment mechanism for releasably attaching the first and second cantilever rib members, respectively, to the U-shaped body.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim further comprising a film disposed on a surface of the nasal dilator and a removable seal provided on the film to mitigate release of a compound from the film.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim further comprising an overmould disposed on at least one of the central portion, the leg members, the intermediate sections and the arcuate cantilever rib members.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, wherein in the nasal dilator device is composed of a substrate material infused with a medicament, a fragrance or an aromatic agent.

The nasal dilator device of any preceding claim, wherein the central portion comprises a tab extending in a direction substantially opposite to the first and second leg members to assist with insertion, removal and/or placement of the nasal dilator device.

The nasal dilator device of claim 51, wherein the tab is removeable from the nasal dilator device.
