Internal nasal dilator and medicine delivery method

1. A method of making an internal nasal apparatus for retaining and delivering a solid compound within a nose of a user, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) obtaining the internal nasal apparatus having a delivery element configured to be inserted within the nose of the user;

(b) providing a mold cavity configured to receive at least a portion of the delivery element and the compound;

(c) positioning the at least a portion of the delivery element within the mold cavity;

(d) heating the compound past its melting point;

(e) introducing the heated compound into the mold cavity;

(f) allowing the compound to re-solidify and adhere to the at least a portion of the delivery element; and

(g) removing the at least a portion of the delivery element from the mold cavity once the compound has re-solidified and adhered.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein steps (a) through (g) are performed sequentially.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further including the step of exposing the compound to a cooling source in order to accelerate resolidification of the compound.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , said apparatus further having a holding element configured to apply a holding force to the nose of the user, so as to secure the apparatus in a fixed position, wherein said delivery element is located within the nose of the user.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the compound releases into an airflow within the nose.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the compound functions to extract a material from an airflow within the nose.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further including the steps of applying a primer on said portion, so as to increase a connection strength between the compound and portion.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further including the steps of applying a releasing agent on the mold, so as to decrease a connection strength between the compound and mold.

9. A method of making an internal nasal apparatus for locating a compound within a nose of a user, wherein the compound is released over time into an airflow within the nose, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) obtaining the internal nasal apparatus having a delivery element configured to be inserted within the nose of the user;

(b) providing a mold cavity configured to receive at least a portion of the delivery element and the compound;

(c) positioning the at least a portion of the delivery element within the mold cavity;

(d) heating the compound past its melting point;

(e) introducing the heated compound into the mold cavity;

(f) allowing the compound to re-solidify and adhere to the at least a portion of the delivery element; and

(g) removing the at least a portion of the delivery element from the mold cavity once the compound has re-solidified and adhered.

10. A method of making an internal nasal apparatus for locating a compound within a nose of a user, wherein the compound is released over time into an airflow within the nose, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) obtaining the internal nasal apparatus having a delivery element configured to be inserted within the nose of the user;

(b) providing a mold cavity configured to receive at least a portion of the delivery element and the compound;

(c) positioning the at least a portion of the delivery element within the mold cavity;

(d) applying a primer on the at least a portion of the delivery element, so as to increase a connection strength between the compound and portion;

(e) heating the compound past its melting point;

(f) introducing the heated compound into the mold cavity;

(g) allowing the compound to re-solidify and adhere to the at least a portion of the delivery element; and

(h) removing the at least a portion of the delivery element from the mold cavity once the compound has re-solidified and adhered.
