Abstract:
Methods and devices for treating nasal airways are provided. Such devices and methods may improve airflow through an internal and/or external nasal valve, and comprise the use of mechanical re-shaping, energy application and other treatments to modify the shape, structure, and/or air flow characteristics of an internal nasal valve, an external nasal valve or other nasal airways.

Claim (Index 5):
The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a controller coupled with the handle and configured to receive a sensed force parameter signal from the force control member, determine whether the minimum amount of force is being applied against the tissue in the nasal airway, based on the sensed force parameter signal, and determine whether to activate the energy delivery member, based on whether the minimum amount of force is being applied.
