Description

Nasal wash

technical field

The invention relates to the medical field, in particular to a nasal irrigator in the medical field.

Background technique

Rinsing the nasal cavity may seem scary to many people, but it has a long history. It is one of the long-standing health care regimens of Indian Yoga and Chinese Taoism. The method is to hold clean water with both hands, bend your head down, suck the water into the nostrils forcefully, and then spit the water out from the mouth, so as to remove the mucus and dirt in the nasal cavity. This method sounds simple, but it is actually extremely difficult to operate, and you will be choked if you are not careful. I believe that many people have the experience of being choked by water while swimming. Nasal washing is rarely used in our country, but Westerners have inherited the methods of yoga and Taoism and invented the nasal washing device. For nearly a hundred years, the use of nasal irrigators in the West has never stopped.

People have a good habit of brushing their teeth and washing their faces every day, but not many people wash their nostrils while washing their faces, but nasal hygiene is also very important. In our daily life and work, a lot of dust and germs will enter the nasal cavity, so the incidence of colds and rhinitis is very high because nasal hygiene has not attracted everyone's attention.

Nasal mucous membrane is the best environment for the survival and reproduction of cold bacteria, and it is called the target of susceptible bacteria in medicine. Cold viruses are not afraid of antibiotics, but they will lose their ability to reproduce when they encounter ambient temperatures of 40-60°C and changes in acidity and alkalinity . In the early stage of a cold, if the nasal cavity is rinsed with 40°C light salt water, the germs attached to the nasal mucosa can be washed away, so that the cold can be treated quickly in the early stage. If we develop the civilized habit of washing the nasal cavity every day, the prevalence of cold and rhinitis will be reduced. Scientists conduct sinusitis X-ray examinations in healthy children over seven years old, and find that about 50% of children have sinus lesions, that is to say, 50% of healthy children suffer from sinusitis. Although sinusitis is not life-threatening, it can affect physical health and children's vision, hearing and intellectual development. Children's nasal cavity health care should attract the attention of all walks of life and parents. According to the determination of international environmental protection experts: over the past 100 years of industrial development, the amount of floating dust in the air of major cities in the world far exceeds the self-cleaning ability of the nasal cavity to defend against dust. According to investigation and analysis, because the dust exceeds the self-cleaning ability of people in many big cities, tens of thousands of people cannot live and work normally every day. Ten people were victimized and killed.

In the field of health care in the future, nasal cavity health care will be a new health cause, and it will also be a cause that benefits the people. The health care status of the nasal cavity is no less than that of the oral cavity, and even more important than the oral cavity. Its indications include: rhinitis, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, bad breath caused by nasopharyngeal bacteria, cleaning before nasal surgery and postoperative care, nasal cleaning after radiotherapy and chemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, tracheitis, bronchitis and asthma, Runny nose, sneezing, allergic rhinitis patients, etc.

The history of nasal irrigators has also gone through a process from simple to complex. There are three types of nasal wash products in the international market. One is to spray physiological saline into the nasal cavity with a household small-sized electric water pump; the second is a traditional teapot-type neti pot, which is called Yuga neti pot; the third is a general neti pot. Nasal irrigators that have appeared include: hand-pressed rubber tube type, plastic bottle type, spray type, steam type, etc.

However, among various nasal washing products, those with a simple design have poor user comfort and are difficult to control; those with a complex design have a good user experience, but are expensive and increase the risk of infection due to repeated use.
