Abstract
A gas delivery device (oror) having a substantially U-shaped nasal cavity component (oror) that fits inside the patient's nostril is in fluid communication with a tubular guidance-stabilization system (or) that extends from the nasal cavity component (oror), across the patient's cheek, and over the patient's ear. The tubular guidance-stabilization system (or) has a flexible wire or flexible strap that is embedded (or otherwise inserted) within the wall (oror) of the tubular guidance-stabilization system (or) for the purpose of supporting the integrity of the gas delivery device (oror) in order to maintain the tubular nasal cavity component (oror) in the patient's nostril. A stabilization patch (oror) further secures the tubular guidance-stabilization system (or) to the cheek and/or behind the ear of the patient.
