Our story

We help people live and breathe better.

Hale was created by Dr. Patrick Byrne in collaboration with a team of talented biomedical engineering students at Johns Hopkins University. By combining their expertise in biomedical engineering and a deep understanding of nasal anatomy, the students developed a revolutionary device that targets the underlying causes of nasal obstruction and congestion.

For the millions of people suffering daily from nasal obstruction and congestion, Hale is a viable non-invasive and drug-free approach. Unlike current treatments that often come with unwanted side effects, this device offers a safe and natural solution for individuals of all ages.

As pioneers in nasal congestion relief, we are committed to ongoing research and development, continually improving our products to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Our team of experts is dedicated to ensuring that our devices are user-friendly, comfortable, and backed by scientific evidence.

Why Hale?

Improved General Wellness

Hale’s unique design enables crystal clear breathing day and night that will improve your general wellness. We’re on a mission to help you live and breathe better so you can thrive.

Enhanced Athletic Performance

Nasal breathing optimizes oxygen intake and utilization during exercise. Hale ensures that oxygen-rich air reaches your lungs effectively, supporting endurance and athletic performance.

Better and Deeper Sleep

Nasal breathing promotes a relaxed and natural breathing pattern and facilitates efficient airflow resulting in better, deeper sleep. It also helps maintain a clear and unobstructed airflow, minimizing snoring.

Professor at Johns Hopkins
Chief of Cleveland Clinic’s Integrated Surgical Institute

After two decades of diagnosing and treating nasal obstruction in the operating room, Dr. Byrne was inspired to create a simpler yet equally effective solution for his patients.

He partnered with leading biomedical engineers at Johns Hopkins to develop his patients' dream solution - a revolutionary device that instantly clarifies nasal breathing without surgery or medication.

The result is a design derived from the surgical techniques Dr. Byrne uses to open the nose in the operating room, now available as an over-the-counter device worn comfortably and discreetly in the nose.
