The Airmax nasal dilator is used by inserting it into your nose to widen the nasal passages. Here's a breakdown of how to correctly use it:
Steps for Using Airmax:
-
Preparation: Before you begin, it's helpful to stand in front of a mirror. This will make sure you place the Airmax properly.
-
Positioning:
- Hold the Airmax so that the “legs” are facing you.
- Gently insert the Airmax into your nose.
- Make sure the “legs” widen the narrowest part of your nasal entrance as they are pushed further in.
- The "connecting bridge" should be touching your nasal septum (the wall between your nostrils).
-
Confirmation: Once positioned, double check that:
- The nasal passages are widened.
- The device is comfortable. If it feels awkward or painful, you may not have positioned it correctly. Re-adjust.
Important Tips:
- First-Time Use: Always use a mirror when first using the Airmax to get the placement correct.
- Comfort: If it causes discomfort or pain, remove and re-position it.
- Maintenance: Clean the device regularly as directed by the manufacturer to keep it hygienic and effective.
