Abstract

A novel nasal adapter is provided that conforms to, and seals with the base (underside) of a nose. Upward pressure exerted against the inventive nasal adapter compressibly conforms an adapter lip to seal with the underside of the nose. The nasal adapter provides for the comfortable, discreet, and effective transmission of deliverable flow (e.g., fluid, gas, airborne particles and medicament, etc.) to the nasal chambers with minimal leakage. In preferred embodiments, the nasal adapter is formed of a single molded piece made of flexible material and can be made in various sizes to adaptably conform to a broad range of nose sizes, and conformations. Particularly preferred embodiments comprise dual delivery channels with dual outflow apertures that are in communication with at least one lip that is proportioned and disposed to provide for separate delivery channels to each nostril.
