    摘要: Described herein are adjustable whole-nose nasal devices having a first passageway for communication with a first nasal passage and a second passageway for communication with a second nasal passage, an airflow resistor that inhibits expiration more than inspiration, and an adjustable connector. The adjustable connector may include one or more adjustable joints or regions that allow the whole-nose device to conform to the spacing between a subject's nostrils, and/or the orientation and angle of the subject's nostrils. Also described herein are whole-nose devices having a single airflow resistor communicating with both of a subject's nasal passages. Methods of treating a disorder using the whole-nose nasal devices are also described.

    摘要: The intrastromal corneal ring is adjustable in thickness and has an elongated, flexible, preferably transparent or translucent body which forms a circle. The intrastromal corneal ring is of a size such that it can be inserted into a human eye and is comprised of a material which is compatible with human ocular tissue. The thickness of the ring can be adjusted so that it is not necessary to stock a plurality of different rings of different sizes to be used in connection with a method of adjusting the shape of the cornea of the eye. A plurality of different embodiments of intrastromal corneal rings are disclosed each of which are adjustable in terms of their thickness. The thickness may be adjusted prior to the insertion of the intrastromal corneal ring into the cornea and may not be further adjustable after insertion. However, in accordance with preferred embodiments the intrastromal corneal ring is inserted at a thickness which is believed to be proper and may thereafter be further adjusted in order to precisely define the desired thickness and thereby more precisely adjust the shape of the cornea and focus the light entering the eye on the retina.

    摘要: The intrastromal corneal ring (ICR) is adjustable in thickness and has an elongated, flexible, preferably transparent or translucent body which forms a circle. The ICR is of a size such that it can be inserted into a human eye and is comprised of a material which is compatible with human ocular tissue. The thickness of the ring can be adjusted so that it is not necessary to stock a plurality of different rings of different sizes to be used in connection with a method of adjusting the shape of the cornea of the eye. A plurality of different embodiments of ICRs are disclosed each of which are adjustable in terms of their thickness. The thickness may be adjusted prior to the insertion of the ICR into the cornea and may not be further adjustable after insertion. However, in accordance with preferred embodiments the ICR is inserted at a thickness which is believed to be proper and may thereafter be further adjusted in order to precisely define the desired thickness and thereby more precisely adjust the shape of the cornea and focus the light entering the eye on the retina.
