Disclosed is a hand-held sanitary device and to an impermeable and essentially biodegradable personal-hygiene sachet which can be filled with water and used for washing intimate body parts by gentle rubbing. The sanitary device chiefly includes a stop piece, a ring, a spring for keeping the personal-hygiene sachet sealed, a valve and connection to a water heater and dryer which is controlled by the valve. It can be used with running-water toilet bowls, without the need to use toilet paper. The sanitary device is particularly intended for the surface washing of intimate body parts, for vaginal washing, re-establishing pelvic-floor muscle tone, and pleasurable vaginal stimulation in women, using the hygienic sachet intended for each use.

The present invention relates to a dual-body drug administration device which administers drugs and removes mucus from the paranasal sinus through the nostrils in order to prevent or treat a paranasal sinus disease and, more specifically, to a device in which two injectors having adapters coupled thereto are integrally fixed by a fixing holder, the adapters of the fixed injectors are simultaneously brought into contact with both the nostrils, and then negative pressure is generated in the nasal cavity to pull out mucus from the paranasal sinus or administer a drug to the paranasal sinus.

A therapeutic device (1) has a stem (3) having a distal end (60) configured for insertion in a patient's ear canal with latching by suction to the tympanic membrane so that there is no relative movement despite patient head movement. A needle (63) punctures the membrane after suction is applied by negative pressure via a lumen (66). The needle tip is located within a suction cup which grips the membrane. A hand-held control device (2) is coupled to the stem and has a user-actuated controller (8) for controlling application of negative pressure (7) to the suction lumen.

A dispenser device for delivering a composition into an anal or vaginal orifice includes an applicator having a shaft, one or more channels, and a plurality release ports. The shaft may extend from a tip to a base and have an outer surface. The plurality of release ports may be positioned along the outer surface of the shaft, and the one or more channels may extend through the shaft and be in fluid communication with the plurality of release ports.

A nasal device includes a tip member having a first end and a second end, the second end of the tip member being oppositely disposed relative to the first end, the tip member including a first wall disposed at the first end thereof, the first wall defining a first aperture configured to be in fluid communication with a nostril of a person; a cover member disposed over a portion of the tip member, the cover member including a second wall overlapping at least a portion of the first wall of the tip member, the second wall defining a second aperture configured to be in fluid communication with the nostril of the person and the first aperture of the tip member, the cover member configured to provide a seal with the nostril of the person; and a vacuum source or a fluid container coupled to the tip member.

A device for performing transanal irrigation includes an elongated neck having a proximal end and a flushing liquid channel passing therethrough. In a system including the device, the flushing liquid channel communicates with a source of flushing liquid. An insert is positioned on the proximal end of the neck of the device and is inserted into a body cavity of a user. The insert has a flushing liquid opening that is in fluid communication with the flushing liquid channel of the neck. A control housing is connected to the neck of the device and contains a pump. Pressurized flushing liquid flows through the device channel and exits through the flushing liquid opening of the insert when the pump is activated. A pair of support arms are attached to the device neck and rest on a sitting user's legs with the insert positioned below a body cavity of the user.

The present invention discloses an ear and/or nose cleaning device comprising a handle including at least one cartridge. The cleaning device further comprises at least one cleaning tip having a spiral body, at least one curved shape feature, a set of bristles, or a combination thereof. The spiral body can include one of an oval shape arrangement and a cylindrical shape arrangement. The handle is configured to couple with the at least one cleaning tip using a connection mechanism. Furthermore, the present invention also discloses the cleaning tip for use in an ear and nose cleaning device.

A syringe assembly being assembled from a syringe for dispensing a dental or medical substance, and a protective cover. The protective cover has a geometrically determined, non-foldable tubular protective shaft. The syringe has a cartridge having an outlet for the substance. Further, the cartridge and the protective cover are assembled with the cartridge being received within the protective shaft. The syringe further comprises a dispensing tip that is connected to the outlet for dispensing the substance from the dispensing tip. A first seal is provided between the dispensing tip and the outlet, and a second seal is provided between the dispensing tip and the protective shaft.

A fluid dispensing apparatus for irrigating a body cavity includes a fluid container assembly, a cap member, and a tip member. The fluid container assembly defines a longitudinal axis and includes a fluid container and an inlet assembly fixedly secured to the fluid container. The cap member is selectively rotatably attached to the inlet assembly. The tip member is selectively attachable to the cap member in response to rotation of the tip member about the longitudinal axis of the fluid container assembly.

A device for intermittently triggering a coordinated defecation reflex in the rectum or colon of a patient, said device comprising a catheter with an inflexible catheter shaft and a preformed inflatable balloon, the inflatable balloon comprising at least an intrarectal balloon segment having, in an inflated, but unpressurized state of the balloon, a generally spherical or discoid shape and a maximal first radius, and being adapted to be placed intrarectally; wherein the inflatable balloon is fixed onto the catheter shaft only at fixation points located at the ends of the inflatable balloon, wherein both ends of the inflatable balloon taper to a shaft dimension of the catheter shaft supporting the inflatable balloon, with the distal end of the balloon having a tapered second radius; wherein, in an inflated, but unpressurized state of the balloon, the difference between the first radius of the intrarectal balloon segment and the second radius of the distal tapered balloon end is equal to a first difference, and further wherein the first difference is greater than a distance between a distal front side of the catheter and a distal fixation point, where the tapered distal end of the balloon is in contact with the catheter shaft and is fixed thereto; wherein the distal front side of the catheter is at a distalmost extension of the catheter shaft or of a distal tip piece of the catheter shaft; and wherein the inflatable balloon is configured such that when the inflatable balloon is in a pressurized state exceeding 30 mbar, at least a portion of the distal intrarectal balloon segment engages and expands a side wall of the rectum or colon of the patient, whereby to trigger a coordinated defecation reflex in the rectum or colon of the patient.
