Claims10
A method of making an internal nasal apparatus for retaining and delivering a solid compound within a nose of a user, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) obtaining the internal nasal apparatus having a delivery element configured to be inserted within the nose of the user;
- (b) providing a mold cavity configured to receive at least a portion of the delivery element and the compound;
- (c) positioning the at least a portion of the delivery element within the mold cavity;
- (d) heating the compound past its melting point;
- (e) introducing the heated compound into the mold cavity;
- (f) allowing the compound to re-solidify and adhere to the at least a portion of the delivery element;
- and
- (g) removing the at least a portion of the delivery element from the mold cavity once the compound has re-solidified and adhered.
A method of making an internal nasal apparatus for locating a compound within a nose of a user, wherein the compound is released over time into an airflow within the nose, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) obtaining the internal nasal apparatus having a delivery element configured to be inserted within the nose of the user;
- (b) providing a mold cavity configured to receive at least a portion of the delivery element and the compound;
- (c) positioning the at least a portion of the delivery element within the mold cavity;
- (d) heating the compound past its melting point;
- (e) introducing the heated compound into the mold cavity;
- (f) allowing the compound to re-solidify and adhere to the at least a portion of the delivery element;
- and
- (g) removing the at least a portion of the delivery element from the mold cavity once the compound has re-solidified and adhered.

- (d) applying a primer on the at least a portion of the delivery element, so as to increase a connection strength between the compound and portion;
- (e) heating the compound past its melting point;
- (f) introducing the heated compound into the mold cavity;
- (g) allowing the compound to re-solidify and adhere to the at least a portion of the delivery element;
- and
- (h) removing the at least a portion of the delivery element from the mold cavity once the compound has re-solidified and adhered.
