Isotonic solution
Medical device CE 0476 for nasal irrigation, indicated for daily hygiene through the shower of the nasal mucosa, in order to prevent obstructions due to stagnation of phlegm secretions or for those who suffer from breathing difficulties due to pathologies such as: cold, cough, sinusitis, post-operative courses, otitis, asthma, bronchitis, nasal polyposis, allergens or caused by environmental contamination such as dust, smoke or fumes. Adjuvant in the treatment of nocturnal nasal obstruction.Intended use
The device allows the sterile and apyrogenic (isotonic) saline solution contained in 250 or 500 ml bags to flow by gravity or manual pressure into the nasal cavities (upper airways). This device has an irrigation nozzle at one end that directs the jet of saline solution towards the nasal cavity meatuses, exerting a powerful cleansing action in the cavities themselves and in the nasopharynx, promoting the removal to the outside of all secretions, dust, allergens and chemical substances that may be present.
Dosage
For adults and children (over 3 years), 1 to 2 irrigations per day are recommended or according to different medical specifications.
