A portion of people in the world are enduring the pain of breathing. They may be sufferers of rhinitis or individuals experiencing post-surgical complications from nasal surgeries. In nasal surgeries, excessive removal of the turbinates can cause the nasal cavity to lose its ability to heat, humidify, and regulate airflow. In severe cases, this can lead to difficulty in breathing. During winter, every breath brings pain to these patients. The cold, dry air irritates the nerves, and the resulting pain makes it impossible to concentrate on anything, often leading to insomnia at night. To alleviate the pain, patients wear masks while doing anything or insert a damp cotton ball into their nasal cavity to slow down the airflow and humidify the air. However, as we all know, this is not comfortable. What is a simple act of breathing for us is an immense challenge for them. To change this, we have designed a wearable device to help patients breathe comfortably.
The beautiful appearance of this device allows people to confidently wear it in any setting. It is not just a medical aid but also a fashionable accessory, and users can choose their preferred color combination when purchasing it on the website. In terms of functionality, the air pump draws in air, and when the temperature drops below the preset comfort level, the heating mechanism activates. The warm air then passes through the humidifying filter capsule, becoming moist before entering the nasal cavity. The capsule needs to be replaced three times a day to ensure optimal humidification and hygiene. When the battery is low or it's time to replace the capsule, the device will vibrate to remind the user to change the battery or capsule. Each device comes with two rechargeable batteries that can be used alternately. Once a certain number of used capsules have accumulated, users can contact a representative to send them back to the factory for recycling and reprocessing.
