In one embodiment, the nasal clip is infused with a volatile medicant and/or therapeutic aromatic that volatilizes under body temperature to permeate into the septum mucosa of a user's nose. In a second embodiment, the nasal clip has limbs that are pre-stressed to engage the septum mucosa so that the intermittent stimulation caused by the frequency of each heart beat and the heat in the inhaled warm breath help release the volatile medicants and aromatic materials. In a third embodiment, the nasal clip is integrated with an oxygen delivery cannula to allow delivery of oxygen with the medicant and/or therapeutic aromatic.

A nasal delivery device for and method of delivering substance to a nasal cavity of a subject, the delivery device comprising: a nosepiece unit including a nosepiece for fitting to a nostril of a subject and a nozzle through which substance is in use delivered, preferably substantially axially to a longitudinal axis of the nosepiece, to the respective nasal cavity, wherein at least a tip element of the nosepiece has, at least in one configuration, an elongate lateral section which has a longer dimension in a first, sagittal direction than a second direction orthogonal to the sagittal direction, such that, when the nosepiece is inserted in the nasal cavity of the subject, the longer dimension of the nosepiece acts to engage lower and upper surfaces of the nasal cavity, preferably at the nasal valve, and expand the same in the sagittal plane; and a delivery unit for delivering substance through the nozzle of the nosepiece.

Nasal cannula assemblies for providing respiratory therapy to patients are provided. A nasal cannula assembly can include a cannula, an optional manifold which may be removable, a gas supply tube, and a securement mechanism. Securement mechanisms can include headgear straps, cheek pads, or an adhesive nose strip. A nasal cannula assembly can also include a lanyard, lanyard clip, and/or lanyard connector to help support the weight of a main gas delivery conduit.

An intranasal device having a first cannula for insertion into a first nostril of a user and a second cannula for insertion into a second nostril of a user. Each cannula has an interior surface defining a generally cylindrical lumen. On the exterior surface of each cannula is a first protrusion in the shape of an anteromedial concavity of a nostril of the user and second, separate and distinct protrusion in the shape of a posterolateral concavity of the nostril of the user.

A wearable intranasal device that dispenses concentrated oils, specifically Aromatherapy and Cannabidiol or CBD, allowing each to evaporate naturally through the nasal cavity providing temporary relief of a variety of symptoms these products have been positively found to impact. The device is a single unit consisting of two barrels on both ends joined by a bridging center arch and which will hug the septum of the user ergonomically not causing any irritation to the user. Each barrel receives a cotton wick which will hold the concentrated oil(s).

A method of increasing eustachian tube patency in human patients is disclosed wherein a eustachian tube targeting nasal administration device is utilized to deliver a surfactant/propellant mixture to the nasopharyngeal stoma of the auditory tube. The targeting capability of the administration device obviates the need for a spreading agent that would otherwise be required to enable at least a portion of surfactant to reach the eustachian tube orifice. More specifically, the non-targeting, indiscriminate delivery provided by nasal administration devices of the past required surfactant to spread over non-targeted tissue it was inadvertently applied to in order to reach the eustachian tube stoma. In addition, a method for treatment of otitis media is disclosed utilizing, in some preferred embodiments, a therapeutically active agent.

A method of introducing a vapor of at least one substance into an inhalation flow path of a respiratory organ is provided. The method describes providing a carrier conformable to a surface of skin; providing the carrier with at least one substance; providing a barrier coupled to a surface of the carrier, the barrier being substantially impermeable to the substances carried by the carrier; providing a polyethylene coated material disposed within or atop the barrier and configured as a clamp for a septum of a user, wherein the polyethylene coated material is heat sealed within the barrier; and engaging the carrier to the surface of skin proximate an inhalation flow path of a respiratory organ with the barrier adapted to be interposed between the carrier and the skin to prevent the one or more substances from contacting the skin; wherein the substance is non-volatile. A vehicle and mask for introducing a vapor are also provided.

A nasal delivery device for and method of delivering substance to a nasal cavity of a subject, the delivery device comprising: a nosepiece for fitting to a nostril of a subject, wherein the nosepiece comprises a tip element which includes a delivery aperture from which substance is in use delivered into the nasal cavity, and the tip element is at least in part tapered such as to be inclined to a longitudinal axis of the nosepiece, with the delivery aperture extending both laterally across the tip element and along a longitudinal extent of the tip element; a nozzle through which substance is in use delivered, preferably substantially axially to a longitudinal axis of the nosepiece, to the respective nasal cavity; and a delivery unit for delivering substance through the nozzle of the nosepiece.

A nasal device comprises a first component and a second component and a connector for coupling the first component to the second component and configured to span a nasal septum of the user. The first component comprises a body for insertion into a nasal cavity of a nose of a user. The body comprises a loop structure having an inner surface defining an aperture and a reverse outer surface, the loop structure being configured for alignment with an interior contour of a nasal passage of the nose, a platform spanning the aperture defined by the inner surface of the loop structure, and a valve mechanism disposed on the platform for controlling fluid flow through the aperture. The first component further comprises at least one mount extending from the body.

A nasal clip and/or dilator which is U-shaped having protruding wider spherical/spheroid holders at each end of the U is designed to be placed such that each spherical holder is in a nostril. The U-shaped clip can press against the columella and each holder against the septum. Inside each holder is a scented piece, such as a plastic ball or cylinder with aromatic compounds there-in which exit from the surface of the respective scented piece. To facilitate the scent escaping from the scented piece and into the nose, each holder has portals such as around the circumference thereof and/or on opposite sides thereof, transverse to the U of the holder.
