How is the PARALLEL different: FITS ALL NOSE SIZES, EVEN EXTRA-WIDE and tiny paediatrics. The standard nose clip can only spread to about 3 cm, much smaller than many noses. The Parallel spreads to over 5.5 cm (an inch more) and can capture the noses you now hold with your hand. THE PARALLEL is the perfect nose clip for small children through the largest adult. STAYS ON, SLIP-PROOF and great for Cardiopulmonary stress testing. Standard disposable nose clips angle wide as you spread them. When placed on most noses, the excessive angle means the clip slips right off your patient’s nose. THE PARALLEL opens in nearly a parallel motion which minimizes the angle of the spread. Less angle, no slipping.

Nose clips are recommended for spirometry tests1 in order to reduce the risk of introducing a technical error2. AM System’s rubber- and foam-padded nose clips help prevent patients from inhaling or exhaling through the nose during spirometry.

In contrast to manual occlusion, the use of a nose clip can enhance patient comfort and allow the patient to focus on FVC, MVV, VC, IC and other spirometry maneuvers.

The nose clips are made of white thermoplastic, latex-free and CE marked. The tension in the nose clip body keeps it firmly in place while the rubber and foam pads are designed for maximum patient comfort. The nose clips are disposable and intended for single-patient use only.
