<p>A nasal dilator comprises a laminate of vertically stacked material layers which form the dilator as a unitary, single body truss having horizontal regions adapted to engage outer wall tissues of first and second nasal passages of a nose. The truss comprises a functional element, an engagement element and a directional element. When in use the dilator stabilizes or expands nasal outer wall tissues and prevents the outer wall tissues from drawing inward during breathing.</p> |
