Embodiment Construction

[0033]The present invention is directed to a nasal inspiratory resistance trainer (“NIRT”). The present invention is also directed to useful methods for the treatment, prevention, and / or management of respiratory disorders and associated complications.

[0034]A nasal inspiratory resistance trainer (NIRT) 10 in accordance with the present invention is illustrated generally in FIG. 1. The NIRT device has a first strip 1 and a second strip 2. The first strip 1 and the second strip 2 are oriented substantially parallel to each other. As shown, the first strip 1 and the second strip 2 are generally rectangular. As shown in FIG. 1, the first strip 1 and the second strip 2 have a consistent longitudinal width. Other shapes are contemplated such as spoon-shaped, teardrop or oval.

[0035]The first strip 1 contains a threaded hole capable of accepting a screw 3. This unitary structure may be easier to manufacture. Alternatively, the first strip 1 contains a non-threaded hole. A nut is aligned with

Abstract

Herein we describe a nasal inspiratory resistance trainer (“NIRT”) that increases the difficulty of nasal breathing. The device is specially designed to limit the cross-sectional area of the nostril, which decreases the volume of air a person can easily intake per unit time, typically achieved by reducing tidal volume per breath, reducing respiratory rate, or a combination thereof. Specific implementations are described.
