1. A nose plug (1) comprising:
a rigid, elongated support member (3); and a flexible member (2) adapted to be placed within a nostril to accurately fill an opening of the nostril, wherein the flexible member (2) comprises i) parallel plates (4) surrounding the rigid, elongated support member (3) and defining an extended serpentine air path and wherein the parallel plates (4) are adapted to guide air entering the nostril along the extended serpentine air path, wherein the flexible member (2) comprises four to twelve of said parallel plates (4), the parallel plates (4) arranged along the rigid, elongated support member (3) and where each of the parallel plates (4) extends in a direction perpendicular to an extension of the rigid, elongated support member (3), and wherein each of the parallel plates (4) has one recess at a periphery thereof, and each said recess is arranged to not overlap a corresponding said recess in a previous one of the parallel plates (4) or a subsequent one of the parallel plates (4), and each parallel plate (4) is adapted to guide the air entering the nostril from a lower side of each parallel plate (4) to an upper side of each parallel plate (4) by each said one recess providing an air pathway across each corresponding parallel plate (4). |
