Abstract
A method for expanding the volume of interior nasal air passages (65 and 67) by introducing separating forces in anatomical outer nasal wall tissues (62 and 64) to enhance oxygen flow and minimize obstruction caused by the presence of nasally inserted medical tubing, which further supports and retains various combinations of oxygen cannula (68), a nasogastric suction tube (35), or an enteral feeding tube (40). This method includes a device containing a clip assembly (14), adjustable arm (18) and dilator patch assembly (12). The primary purposes of this method are to reduce incidence of secondary infection, increase efficacy of oxygen therapy and improve patient comfort.
