nose "splints"

Post by herefishy » Mon Jan 07, 2013 8:27 pm

I see ads on this and other forums for 4 different kinds of devices that go inside the nostrils to counter the effects of deviated septums and such, and just wondered if anybody has tried them along with their cpap? I can't use breathe rights because they won't stick to my nose, but they seem to help as long as they stick, so maybe an approach from the inside would help?

Hubby cleans his nose with an alcohol swab before applying the Breathe-Right strip; and they stick pretty good.
Otherwise, maybe these?

Yes, those are one brand, just looking for someone who has tried them.

I can't find the thread; but I would be concerned about the tender skin inside the nose
developing a lesion due to friction or pressure. Maybe worse than the DS surgery.
