Because the Cones are a nasal dilator device, you are in control of your nasal breathing relief. Feel increased breathing volume immediately as soon as you put them in – no waiting for hours or weeks for relief, or having to take medications when you don’t need them. Use them only when you need maximum relief and only as long as you need breathing relief. Simple-to-try and easy-to-use, our nasal cones make an perfect addition to your healthcare choices for staying healthy, active and well rested.
The beauty of the Nose Cones is the quality of your sleep.
The FDA-certified medical grade materials were carefully selected after extensive testing for their superior properties of soft-comfort, yet resilient stenting-action.
Their materials are are ISO-10993 certified, proven hypoallergenic, latex-free, and are safe for extended wear, and use with all medications, CPAP, and with oxygen.
The first time that you wear the new Max-Air Nose Cones and Sinus Cones you may be surprised at the comfort and amount of breathing relief that you feel. In fact, in a recent clinical study, Max-Air Nose Cones were shown to increase breathing volume by a whopping 110%. Breathing easily, deeply and fully, feels amazing.
Getting started: to acclimate your nose to the Sinus Cones or new, Max-Air Nose Cones, we suggest that you place the Cones in your nasal airways a couple of times in advance of wearing them to bed. Try inhaling a few times to see what maximum relief feels like. Allow a couple of minutes to adjust to the feel of the soft framework of the nasal cones in your nose, as you swivel them around and adjust the angle to insure maximum airflow.
(Most people find that wearing the Cones is similar to putting on a pair of sunglasses. You can feel them at first, and then, within minutes, you forget that they are there.)
The Max-Air Nose Cones and Sinus Cones are latex-free, hypoallergenic and made with premium quality medical material that is FDA-certified for safe reuse. The Cones’ material has been extensively tested for the highest levels of safe use and specially selected for comfort, reusablity, and easy cleaning.
If you are tired from sleep loss due to snoring, nasal congestion, a deviated septum, sinusitis, frequent head colds, sinus infections or blocked or collapsed nose and are seeking high performance, drug-free, comfortable, reliable breathing relief, then Max-Air Nose Cones or Sinus Cones are a good choice to make.
The
Sinus Cones is our original product. The material is slightly firmer for extra support and is a whitish opaque color. The Sinus Cones also have a little clip that goes on the outside of the nose.
The Sinus Cones are generally recommended for more severe nasal airway collapse and superior decongestant control for chronic sinus or nasal congestion.
The Max-Air Nose Cones is our newest product and is made with the softest material that we offer, for greater comfort and improved fit. The Max-Air Nose Cones are also transparent for practically invisible wear and do not have a little clip so that they can be placed almost fully inside the nose.
The Max-Air Nose Cones are generally recommended for deviated septum relief, to stop snoring, to aid breathing inside CPAP or with oral appliances, or for breathing problems that are only present during sleep.
The Cones are reusable and each box contains a 3-month supply. (IMPORTANT, SINCE THE MATERIAL DEGRADES WITH USE, DO NOT EXCEED MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED LENGTH OF USE.)

You may find it easy to store them in your medicine cabinet, so that you can rinse them and pop them in just after you brush your teeth for bed.
