A nasal dilator (10") for placing on a user's nose and for improving respiration through the nose by dilation of the user's nostrils comprises a central, resilient, beam-shaped element (12) and two attaching elements (14 and 16) placed at respective ends of the beam-shaped element for attachment to respective sides of the user's nose. The beam-shaped element (12) extends in use from one side of the user's nose across the bridge of the user's nose to the other side of the user's nose and the central, resilient, beam-shaped element (12) and the two attaching elements (14, 16) are integrally made of plastic. The nasal dilator (10") constitutes a configuration which is symmetrical relative to a central plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the beam-shaped element and preferably constitutes an overall curved structure or alternatively a substantially plane structure. The central, resilient, beam-shaped element exhibits a rigidity increasing from the central plane towards the two attaching elements (14, 16) and the two attaching elements constitute substantially, plane, flat-shaped elements constituting extensions of the central, resilient, beam-shaped element (12) to which attaching elements a skin- compatible adhesive (20) is applied.

Ce dilatateur nasal (10'') à placer sur le nez d'une personne et destiné à faciliter la respiration par le nez, du fait d'une dilatation des narines, comporte un élément central (12), de forme allongée et souple, ainsi que deux éléments de fixation (14 et 16), situés sur les extrémités respectives de l'élément de forme allongée et destinés à se fixer sur les ailes du nez. Une fois mis en place, cet élément (12) de forme allongée va d'une aile du nez à l'autre, via la voûte nasale. L'élément central (12), de forme allongée et souple, ainsi que les deux éléments de fixation (14 et 16) sont en matière plastique et faits d'une seule pièce. La structure de ce dilatateur nasal (10''), qui a une configuration symétrique d'un plan central perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de l'élément de forme allongée, est, de préférence, soit recourbée dans l'ensemble, soit sensiblement plane. La rigidité de l'élément central, de forme allongée et souple, augmente depuis le plan central vers les deux éléments de fixation (14, 16), lesquels constituent des extensions de forme sensiblement plate de l'élément central (12), de forme allongée et souple, une partie adhésive (20), compatible avec la peau, servant à maintenir le dilatateur sur le nez, étant apposée sur ces éléments de fixation.
