The components of AirBoost nasal strips are twin flexible spring-like plastic bands that are correctly tensioned and implanted in a non-toxic strip. One side of the strip is coated with a unique adhesive that is non-irritating and non-allergic. When the strip is correctly placed on the exterior of the nose, it tries to straighten and gently elevates the flexible cartilage of the nose, allowing continuous airflow through the nasal strips for congestion.
