Hale Nasal Dilator Starter Kit, 3 Sizes for Nighttime Breathing Support

Hale is a daily-wear nasal dilator designed to support nighttime breathing and snoring linked to a narrow or collapsing nasal valve, with three sizes to help you find a comfortable fit.

• Designed for nasal valve collapse — supports airflow when a narrow or collapsing nasal valve contributes to nighttime breathing trouble.
• Three sizes in the starter kit — lets you adjust the fit for a secure, comfortable feel.
• Insertion and removal tools included — offers tool-assisted options for placing and removing the dilator.
• Developed at Johns Hopkins using advanced CT imaging — informed by imaging and work alongside an ongoing clinical trial.
• Clinical results found it more effective, comfortable and discreet than other devices, and as effective as surgery for improving quality of life in people with nasal obstruction.

Hale is made for people whose snoring or nighttime breathing trouble is connected to nasal airflow, rather than throat-based snoring. Its nasal-focused design addresses nasal valve and sidewall collapse, enlarged turbinates and a deviated septum. It is not designed for snoring caused by the throat, allergies or sinus congestion.

What kind of snoring is Hale designed for?

Hale is designed for snoring and nighttime breathing trouble associated with a narrow or collapsing nasal valve. A quick self-check is to gently pull the skin beside your nostrils outward with two fingers while breathing in; noticeably easier breathing may indicate that nasal valve support is relevant to your symptoms. The design also addresses nasal sidewall collapse, enlarged turbinates and a deviated septum.

• For nasal airflow concerns, not throat-based snoring.
• Not intended for allergies or sinus congestion.

How do I choose a size and insert Hale?

The starter kit contains three sizes, and the right fit should feel snug and comfortable while making breathing noticeably easier. Begin with medium: move up a size if it falls out or has little effect, and down a size if you feel pressure or irritation. You can insert it with clean fingers or the included insertion tool.

• For placement, point the hinge toward the tip of your nose.
• Seat the dilator until the side flange sits fully inside the nostril.
• Some people feel comfortable within minutes; others need a few wears over several days. Allow the first week for adjustment.

How do I remove Hale, and what research informed its design?

Remove Hale by gently pulling the connector, or use the included removal tool to reduce wear over time. Hale was developed at Johns Hopkins using advanced CT imaging and in conjunction with an ongoing clinical trial. In clinical results, it was more effective, comfortable and discreet than other devices, and as effective as surgery in improving quality of life for people with nasal obstruction.

• Choose the connector or removal tool for gentle removal.
• The design focuses on nasal obstruction and support around the nasal valve and sidewall.

Hale is best suited to people seeking a daily-wear nasal dilator for breathing trouble or snoring associated with nasal valve or sidewall issues, rather than throat-based snoring, allergies or sinus congestion. Its three-size kit and tool-assisted placement allow you to adjust the fit and use method.
