Development of Breathe Right Strips

The innovation of Breathe Right nasal strips was sparked by an encounter between a company executive and its inventor, Bruce Johnson. Initially presented as a simple prototype, the idea evolved into a successful product under a new name after the executive envisioned its potential. Despite skepticism from the board regarding focusing on a consumer product rather than high-tech medical items, the product launch proved advantageous. Utilizing endorsements from professional athletes, the strips gained significant traction, highlighting the impact of efficient breathing on sleep quality and overall health.
