Removing nasal valve obstruction in peak nasal inspiratory flow measurement
Martyn L. Barnes, MBBS
Brian J. Lipworth, MD
Asthma and Allergy Research Group, Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, Ninewells Hospital and Perth Royal Infirmary, University of Dundee, Dundee, Scotland.
BACKGROUND:
Peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) measurements are used to evaluate nasal obstruction and as a surrogate for disease activity in allergic rhinitis and other nasal complaints. This measurement can give erroneous results when forced inspiration leads to nasal valve collapse.
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the effects of 2 different nasal stents (Sinus Cones and Nozovent) on valve collapse and repeatability of PNIF measurements.
METHODS:
Repeated measurements of PNIF were obtained in 74 individuals with and without 2 different nasal stents: Sinus Cones and Nozovent.
RESULTS:
The mean (95% confidence interval) improvement in PNIF was 1.7 L/min (−2.4 to 5.8 L/min; P = .42) with Nozovents and 25.4 L/min (11.4 to 39.4 L/min; P = .001) with Sinus Cones. The PNIF coefficient of variation for repeatability was 11.6% without stents, 16.0% using Nozovents, and 10.4% using Sinus Cones.
CONCLUSIONS:
Sinus Cones, but not Nozovents, significantly improved PNIF. Repeatability of PNIF measurements was worse with Nozovents and only marginally improved with Sinus Cones.
Sizing
Follow our patented sizing guide to determine your most suitable size.
Measure 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:
SINUS CONES are made connected to one another.
To achieve just the right fit and comfort, they may be separated and worn 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
Every person is slightly different when it involves the softness that they prefer.
Generally the softest, clear, Max-Air Nose Cones are preferred, especially for mild deviated septum, for combination therapy with oral appliance or CPAP for mild sleep apnea, to stop snoring, and to relieve night time dry mouth.
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 new, soft Max-Air Nose Cones Performance are designed to stay put so that you don’t have to; as such their fit and feel is a little more dynamic to insure a secure fit no matter how you plan to wear them.
For some individuals this is perfect for running faster than a speeding bullet or leaping tall buildings in a single bound; however it is too dynamic a feel for their sleep, where they prefer the Sinus Cones or regular Max-Air Nose Cones. That said for other individuals the new, soft Max-Air Nose Cones Performance are just right for day and sleep wear.
If you are undecided, why not order both. Try them out, decide which is more suitable for your situation, and return the other set for a free exchange.

Dr recommended, and I must say I breathe n sleep better since I started using the Sinus Cones. Helped a lot with my mouth breathing n snoring. I purchased the medium size next time I will get the small as the medium are little bigger than I thought they would be.

I would’ve given five stars because this product really works well, but the last “large” pair I received recently is too small. They still help, but I find myself continuing to use my old large pair which works much better for my large nose. Great product though…a little pricey, but much better than the adhesive strips I wore for years.

Hi – thank you for your review. Please contact our technical support for assistance. Continuing to use your “old” set is not recommended.

I have used Sinus Cones for years now. They are the only thing that let me breathe when I sleep. I used to use the softer Nose Cones but I prefer the firmness of the sinus cones. I have tried other brands of nasal dilators, but I find that Max-Air Sinus Cones are the most effective. I highly recommend them!

I previously submitted a somewhat snaky review which I wish to retract. A representative of the company took the time to personally call me to address my problem and suggested I try another option within their product line. Now that I have the right Sinus Cones, my sinus issues have virtually disappeared. This has been a life changing event. No more snoring and dry mouth. I can’t thank that caring individual who called me enough. I will definitely be reordering this product in the future and have called my doctor who suggested this product to report my success.

I find it incredible that with these cones I can breathe and sleep all night! I love them and will continue to purchase and use these tools. They open up my breathing completely. I have frequent sinus issues. I ordered the large and they protrude a little, but are comfortable and work wonders. I am so grateful!!!! Thanks!!!
