Millions of people suffer from nasal airway obstruction, which limits airflow through the nose. Until now, your only options were medications or breathing strips that offer temporary relief, and surgeries that are invasive, painful, and often have a long recovery period. Vivaer Airway Remodeling is a new, non-invasive treatment that can be performed in your ENT Physician’s office or clinic to help you breathe more easily.

Am I a Candidate for VIVAER?
Take these two simple tests to discover if you’ll benefit from Nasal Airway Remodeling.

Cottle’s Maneuver


Try this Do-it-yourself diagnostic procedure for assessing nasal obstruction/congestion.
Place one or two finger tips on your cheeks on either side of your nose. Gently, press and pull outward. This temporarily opens the nasal valve. If doing this helps you inhale more easily through your nose, your nasal obstruction may be in your nasal valve, and you may be a candidate for VIVAER Nasal Airway Remodeling.

NOSE Score Test

The NOSE Score test determines the severity of your nasal blockage.
Click the “Start Assessment” button below, and you’ll be asked five questions. Rate your answers from 0 (not a problem) to 4 (severe problem). If you score 50 or higher, you may be a candidate for VIVAER Nasal Airway Remodeling.
