The present invention discloses a positive-pressure double-nozzle nasal cavity cleaner featuring double pressure protection, and relates to the technical field of health care. The nasal cavity cleaner consists of a nose washing end, an upper shell, a core module, a control module, a lower shell, a liquid reservoir and a waste reservoir, wherein the nose washing end is rotatably connected to a top portion of the upper shell, and the nose washing end consists of a silicone washing nozzle, a silicone backflow nozzle and a rotary connecting base. The nasal cavity cleaner uses positive pressure and automatic pressure relief structures to obtain safe and constant air pressure, and then presses normal saline into the nasal cavity to clean the nasal cavity, so that pressure in the nasal cavity is small and stable during cleaning, which prevents damage to the nasal cavity and ear canal, thus being safer to use. Besides, deeper areas can be washed, nasal scabs in the nasal cavity can be moistened and removed, harmful substances such as dust in the nasal cavity can be removed, the nasal cavity can be moistened, and normal swing of nasal cilia can be recovered, which are helpful in treating rhinitis and preventing the onset of allergic rhinitis.

10300222 · 2019-05-28 · ·

A medical spraying device and method for irrigating a wound, in particular lavage system, having a liquid reservoir for a medical irrigation liquid or a connection for such a liquid reservoir, and a compressed gas reservoir. The compressed gas reservoir is connected or connectable via a pressure line to the liquid reservoir, such that the irrigation liquid can be pushed by the gas pressure of the compressed gas reservoir acting on the irrigation liquid through a nozzle in order to produce a spray cone. A pressure reduction valve is arranged in the pressure line and limits the gas pressure acting in the liquid reservoir on the irrigation liquid. The device and method produce a spray cone of a medical irrigation liquid in which a gas pressure is limited using a pressure reduction valve, wherein the gas pressure limited by the pressure reduction valve is conveyed through a pressure line to a liquid reservoir of the medical irrigation liquid. The irrigation liquid is pushed out from the liquid reservoir through a nozzle by means of the gas pressure, wherein the spray cone is produced in that the irrigation liquid flows through the nozzle.
