Understanding Nasal Airway Blockage
Nasal airway blockages, commonly referred to as nasal obstructions, can significantly impact daily life. Patients often experience habitual snoring, disrupted sleep, fatigue, and difficulty breathing through the nose. These obstructions are usually caused by structural abnormalities within the nasal passage, creating a persistent feeling of congestion or blockage. While temporary remedies may help relieve symptoms, lasting relief comes from addressing the root cause.

- Difficulty breathing through the nose

Are You a Candidate for VivAer®?
A simple evaluation can help determine whether VivAer® may be beneficial for you. One quick self-check sometimes used during evaluation is the Cottle Test.
Cottle’s Test
- Place two fingers on each cheek beside your nose.
- Gently pull the cheeks outward to widen the nasal passage.
- Breathe in through the nose while holding this position.
If breathing improves during the Cottle Test, it may indicate nasal valve collapse, and VivAer® could be an effective treatment option.
