Imagine suffering from sinus issues or nasal inflammation, only to discover your traditional nasal spray isn’t doing much.
You spray… and wait.
But nothing changes.
That’s the reality for millions of people around the world.
👉 The problem? Traditional sprays fail to reach deep into your nasal passages—where relief is actually needed.
But one Norwegian doctor decided to change that—for good.
👨⚕️ The Doctor Who Reshaped Nasal Relief
Meet Dr. Per Gisle Djupesland, a physician with a PhD in nasal aerodynamics. Yes, nasal aerodynamics—the science of airflow through your nose.
Instead of accepting how sprays were working (or not), he reinvented the entire process.
He designed a device that uses your own breath to deliver medication deeper than any spray ever could.
🎈 How It Works (Yes, Like Inflating a Balloon)
Here’s what makes it so revolutionary:
- Insert the nosepiece into one nostril.
- Close your lips around the mouthpiece.
- Exhale gently, like inflating a balloon.
Your exhaled air pressurizes the nasal cavity, opening it up and pushing the medication exactly where it needs to go—into the deeper and harder-to-reach sinus pathways.
No batteries. No misty guesswork. Just brilliant bioengineering.

The compact, non-electric design means it’s perfect for travel—no need to worry about altitude or TSA bans.
Just pack it and breathe better on the go.
🧠 What the Patent Covers
Dr. Djupesland’s invention is protected under a European patent, which outlines:
- A bi-directional airflow system: Using the exhale to control drug delivery through the nasal cavities.
- Precise drug targeting: Directing medication to the upper posterior regions of the nasal passages.
- Non-invasive, user-powered function: No external power required—just smart airflow physics.
- Ergonomic design: Simple for children, adults, and elderly users alike.
This wasn’t just a new gadget—it was a whole new method of treating nasal disorders.
🏆 Award-Winning Innovation
- 🥇 European Inventor Award Winner
- 🌍 Used by millions worldwide
- 📈 Helped grow Optinose, the company behind it—now listed on NASDAQ
From lab experiment to global product, this device is one of the best examples of patient-centered innovation that scaled.
💡 Final Thoughts: Small Breath, Big Leap
This invention proves that real breakthroughs don’t have to be complex—they just have to be smart.
By rethinking airflow, Dr. Djupesland changed the way millions breathe, brought a startup to IPO, and won one of Europe’s most prestigious innovation awards.
All… from a simple exhale.
