Stenting the nasal airway for maximizing inspiratory airflow: internal Max-Air Nose Cones versus external Breathe Right strip.
Raudenbush B1.
Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Several nasal dilator devices designed to stent the anterior nasal airway to increase peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) currently exist; however, comparisons of such devices are limited. This study was designed to compare the efficacy of two different nasal dilator devices, an internal device (Max-Air Nose Cones; Sanostec Corp., Beverly Farms, MA) and an external device (Breathe Right nasal strip; GlaxoSmithKline, Brentford, Middlesex, U.K.) on stenting of the anterior nasal airway to maximize PNIF.
METHODS:
Repeated measurements of PNIF were obtained in 30 individuals noting complaints of sleep-disordered breathing due to nasal breathing discomfort and nasal airway obstruction, both with and without the two different nasal dilator devices.
RESULTS:
A one-within analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed among the three conditions (control, Max-Air Nose Cones, and Breathe Right nasal strip), and a statistically significant effect was found (F[2,58] = 298.13; p< 0.00001). Tukey post hoc contrasts revealed that the control condition PNIF (66.07 L/min) was significantly lower than both the Max-Air Nose Cones (138.73 L/min) and the Breathe Right nasal strip (102.17 L/min) conditions. The Max-Air Nose Cone increased inspiratory airflow by 73 L/min, or a 110% improvement over baseline. In addition, the Max-Air Nose Cone condition PNIF was significantly higher than both the control condition and the nasal strip condition.
CONCLUSION:
Although both the Max-Air Nose Cones and the Breathe Right nasal strips increased PNIF from baseline, the Max-Air Nose Cones showed significantly greater efficacy at stenting the anterior nasal airway, providing twice the improvement in PNIF over baseline than did the Breathe Right nasal strips.
Sizing
Follow our patented sizing guide to determine your most suitable size.
Measure width across your thumb as shown.
- Place your thumb on a ruler, fingerprint side down with the left edge of the thumb on the beginning of the ruler or 1 inch mark.
(In the image shown above, the left side of the thumb is placed flush with the 1 inch mark on the ruler.) - Measure across the widest part of the thumb as indicated by the black arrows above.
(In the image above, the right side of the thumb measures about 7/8″, or less than one inch.) - Use this gauge to select your size.
(In the image above, based on a measure of 7/8″ and referencing the chart below, this thumb measures to a medium size.)
If your thumb measures:
3/4″ (.75 of an inch) or less, select the size small.
If your thumb measures more than 3/4″ to 1″ (.75 of an inch to one inch), select the size medium.
If your thumb measures more than 1″ (more than one inch), select the size large.
If you are right on the line between two sizes, we suggest ordering both sizes, trying them and then returning the ones that are not the correct size. Please see our guarantee for details.
PLEASE NOTE: sometimes nasal airways are not the same size and two sizes are necessary. So be sure to try each size in each airway.
CUSTOMIZING FIT:
MAX-AIR NOSE CONES are made connected to one another.
To achieve just the right fit and comfort, separate them from one another and fit them individually.
Custom Sizing for Deviated Septum and Nasal Airway Collapse
Mixing two different sizes may be needed for deviated septum or nasal valve collapse, if one nasal airway or nostril is smaller or narrower than the other.
If this is your situation, you will find it more suitable to use two different sizes Cones to treat this problem. Simply determine the size that you measure to normally, as indicated above, and then select that size for your larger nostril, and the next smaller size for your other smaller or narrower nostril.
Purchase the two sizes, and use one size in one nostril and the other size in the other nostril. Once again, swivel for your most comfortable fit and best angle to maximize flow volume.
How to Choose Your Most Suitable Squeezieness-Rating: Soft, Softer, or Softest
All of our products are soft, and there should never be any discomfort when using our nasal cones. That said every person has a preference when it involves the softness that their nose likes.
The new SOFT, Max-Air Nose Cones Performance are designed to stay put so that you don’t have to. This product is soft but it is made with our firmest material, so the fit and feel is a little more dynamic to insure a secure fit no matter what level of activity for which you use them.
The original, SOFTER, white Sinus Cones may be best for those nights when nasal allergy, sinus or cold congestion is severe and extra nasal airway support is necessary, when snoring is loud and pervasive, or when nasal obstruction from a collapsed side-wall is present.
The mildest, SOFTEST, clear, Max-Air Nose Cones are preferred, especially for mild deviated septum, in combination with CPAP or oral appliances for mild sleep apnea, to stop snoring and night time dry mouth, or anytime extra help is needed for sleep breathing relief.
If you are undecided, order a selection. Try them out, decide which is more suitable for your situation, and return the other set for a free exchange.

USE AND REPLACE AS DIRECTED
They work perfectly – allow me to breathe and are comfortable. Even though I’m small, I needed the size large.
right nostril is either dried out or device slips out
HI Barbara – thank you for your review. Based on your order history, you ordered a size smaller than you usually do. Please give us a call for assistance.
Life changer for me, with regards to my sleep quality. Wife loves them!
I’ve struggled to breathe for years. After three reconstructive surgeries for my nose I had given up. Not breathing is exhausting! This is the first I had heard of Max-Air Nose Cones. My doctor suggested them. Why had nobody else? They are so soft you don’t even know they are there except for me ordering the wrong size. Max Air would have allowed me to return them for a smaller size but I thought I would try and get used to them. They pulled my nose apart a bit more than I would have liked. I will soon be ordering the next size smaller and already know they will be awesome!
I have a deviated septum and at times when I sleep my left nostril gets clogged at other times I can breathe somewhat ok. I tried the product. I cut the connector to get more depth, but the improvement in breathing through the clogged nostril was barely noticeable. I hope it works better for others.
Hi – thank you for your review. Based on your experience we recommend that you exchange the Max-Air Nose Cones for the slightly firmer Sinus Cones. The Sinus Cones are a more suitable choice when the airway is more obstructed, as you described. Give our tech support a call if you require additional assistance.
