material 122 note that such air spaces may be beneficial to the nose splint 50 in that a cause of such nose splints undesirably detaching from the patient 39 s nose is due to excessive build ups of perspiration between the adhesive layer 102 and the skin on and about the patient 39 s nose 36 accordingly by providing additional ventilation whereby moisture from such perspiration can escape through the interior subpanel 78 more readily it is believed that the nose splint 50 will adhere to the patient 39 s nose 36 for a longer period of time than in other embodiments where such air spaces are not provided in fig9 an alternative embodiment of the nose splint 50 is provided wherein the layered splinting panel 54 is of unitary construction and therefore does not have separable subpanels further note that as with the embodiments of the nose splint 50 shown in fig3 5 and 8 the pad member 58 is fixedly attached to a mid portion of the sublayer of foam material 122 in a center portion of the panel 54 so that there is substantially an equal extent of the panel 54 extending beyond the joining of the pad member to the panel 54 more specifically the pad member 58 is positioned on the panel 54 so that when the nose splint 50 is applied to a patient 39 s nose with the nose contacting surface 70 substantially along the ridge of the patient 39 s nose as in fig4 there are equal extents of the panel 54 on either side of the patient 39 s nose as e g shown in fig4 note that as.
