A nasal apparatus comprising: a nasal insert of elastic and flexible construction, the nasal insert comprises a hub, a plurality of arched legs wherein: a) each of the plurality of arched legs comprises a proximal end and a free end; b) the proximal end and the free end are opposite ends of the same leg; c) the free end of each of the plurality of arched legs comprises a foot; d) the proximal end of each of the plurality of arched legs being adjacently connected to the hub; wherein the free ends are disjointed from the hub; e) the plurality of arched legs is positioned around the hub; f) the nasal insert is flexible, and applies pressure to the inner nasal surface of the nostril when the nasal insert is positioned within the nostril, thereby holding the insert within the nostril(s); and wherein g) the plurality of arched legs allows flexibility in key anatomic locations, the profile cross section of the leg being configured to allow bending along its thin dimension, while maintaining a relatively large area of contact in its long dimension, h) the device being adaptable to different nostril sizes; wherein the apparatus comprises a first leg, a second leg, and a third leg, which 3 legs merge on the medial side of the nostril, forming the largest surface area at the septal cartilage, when the apparatus is inserted into the nostril(s); and wherein, when the apparatus is inserted into the nostril(s): i) the first leg is configured to extend in an anterior direction, following the structure of the majar alar cartilage of the nostril; ii) the second leg is configured to extend in a posterior direction, following the curvature of an alar fibrofatty tissue structure; and iii) the third leg is configured to extend in a superior direction, and then to arc around to an inferior orientation, terminating near a posterior portion of the majar alar cartilage. a nasal insert of elastic and flexible construction, the nasal insert comprises a hub, a plurality of arched legs wherein: a) each of the plurality of arched legs comprises a proximal end and a free end; b) the proximal end and the free end are opposite ends of the same leg; c) the free end of each of the plurality of arched legs comprises a foot; d) the proximal end of each of the plurality of arched legs being adjacently connected to the hub; wherein the free ends are disjointed from the hub; e) the plurality of arched legs is positioned around the hub; f) the nasal insert is flexible, and applies pressure to the inner nasal surface of the nostril when the nasal insert is positioned within the nostril, thereby holding the insert within the nostril(s); and wherein g) the plurality of arched legs allows flexibility in key anatomic locations, the profile cross section of the leg being configured to allow bending along its thin dimension, while maintaining a relatively large area of contact in its long dimension, h) the device being adaptable to different nostril sizes; a) each of the plurality of arched legs comprises a proximal end and a free end; b) the proximal end and the free end are opposite ends of the same leg; c) the free end of each of the plurality of arched legs comprises a foot; d) the proximal end of each of the plurality of arched legs being adjacently connected to the hub; wherein the free ends are disjointed from the hub; e) the plurality of arched legs is positioned around the hub; f) the nasal insert is flexible, and applies pressure to the inner nasal surface of the nostril when the nasal insert is positioned within the nostril, thereby holding the insert within the nostril(s); and wherein g) the plurality of arched legs allows flexibility in key anatomic locations, the profile cross section of the leg being configured to allow bending along its thin dimension, while maintaining a relatively large area of contact in its long dimension, h) the device being adaptable to different nostril sizes; i) the first leg is configured to extend in an anterior direction, following the structure of the majar alar cartilage of the nostril; ii) the second leg is configured to extend in a posterior direction, following the curvature of an alar fibrofatty tissue structure; and iii) the third leg is configured to extend in a superior direction, and then to arc around to an inferior orientation, terminating near a posterior portion of the majar alar cartilage.
