04. Each Hale™breathing aid
is designed to withstand
10 days of use. Replace
regularly for optimal
peormance & hygiene.
Wearing our device in your nose will likely be
a new sensation. As with contact lenses or
new shoes, it may take up to two weeks for
your body to adjust fully. Please be patient
during this acclimation period. The benets
of clear nasal breathing are well woh it.
When rst using the Hale™ breathing aid, you
may experience mild discomfo, a runny
nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion. These
are normal and temporary occurrences.
If you are struggling with Hale™, try distract-
ing yourself with other activities to shi
focus from the sensation. Wear the device in
sho intervals for as long as you can, resting
your nose for several hours in between.
Gradually wear the device for longer
intervals until the sensation becomes normal
and comfoable.

Getting Started
Instructions
for Use
Meet the Hale™ breathing aid
The Hale™breathing aid is a pair of symmetrical dilators connected by a flexible
band. The dilators are worn inside the nose to boost nasal ailow and relieve airway
obstruction.
Cushioned pad rests against nasal
septum for stability
Curved flare opens and suppos nasal
passage to improve breathing

We recommend trying all three sizes of Hale™breathing aids to determine your ideal t. The
le-sided dilator of each pair is labeled with a circled size marker as shown. To nd your t, sta with
the medium (M) size. If you are unable to t the dilator entirely into your nose or experience sharp
pain, try the small (S) size. If the dilator can wiggle freely or feels loose in the nose, try the large (L)
size.
You have found your ideal t when:
-You notice an immediate and signicant improvement in nasal ailow
-The dilator ts entirely beyond your nostril while the septum band sits snugly between your nostrils
-The dilator feels secure and stays in place aer several breaths
