An apparatus for rinsing sinuses or eyes, comprising a hand crushable container containing saline solution, and a dispenser configured to make a liquid tight seal with the container at one end, and a liquid tight seal with a nostril or an eye socket at the other end.

An assembly for nasal irrigation for the handheld irrigation of a user's nasal cavity comprising a housing with a refill chamber containing irrigating fluid, an applicator, an actuator for forcing irrigating fluid from the refill chamber through the applicator into the user's nasal cavity during operation, and a solution port for refilling the refill chamber. Some embodiments of the present invention may further comprise a system for nasal irrigation that includes the assembly for nasal irrigation or handheld irrigator, as well as a solution assembly structured for dispensing irrigating fluid to the handheld irrigator, a docking station for removably housing the handheld irrigator, a solution assembly and a refill control, including a check valve.

A nasal irrigation device communicates an irrigant to a device user and comprises a mechanics module and a reservoir assembly wherein a source of saline comprising a cartridge is disposed within the mechanics module adjacent a lid assembly for piercing the cartridge upon closing of a lid for releasing the cartridge contents into the reservoir assembly. A faux collapsible cartridge for testing operability of a nasal irrigation device comprises a housing including a shaft, a spring biased rod extending from the housing shaft, and a flange depending from a housing wall whereby the rod and flange are disposed to actuate a trigger assembly of the nasal irrigation device.

Systems and method for delivering bathing liquid via a nostril of a face-down user to maintain a column of the liquid in prolonged and predictable contact with nasal and sinus mucosa, and create turbulence in the column of the liquid within a nasal cavity of the user to enhance debris removal from walls of the nasal cavity. A head orientation unit attachable to a head of the user includes an angle monitoring unit to provide an indication of an angular orientation of the user's head to optimize delivery of the liquid to target head structures. A liquid supply delivers the liquid through nostrils of the user to the target head structures, as a function of the angular orientation indication, at a pressure and flow rate that maintains a constant volume of the liquid in the nasal cavity and a sinus cavity of the user.

A steam generator according to the present invention comprises a heat generating layer comprising an oxidizable metal, a carbon component, and water, a first water absorbent layer laminated on the heat generating layer and comprising a first water absorbent, a water absorbing sheet laminated on the first water absorbent layer, and a second water absorbent layer laminated on the water absorbing sheet and comprising a second water absorbent.

A therapeutic device for treating one or more conditions associated with a user's nasal cavities, sinuses, and/or ear canals includes a housing having an opening, an acoustic vibrator within the housing that is operable to provide an acoustic vibration to the user, a fan within the housing that is operable to provide a pressure to the user and a power supply that provides power to the acoustic vibrator and the fan. A mask is connected to the housing at the opening and includes a nasal interface appliable around the nose of the user, a nasal chamber in which the user's nostrils are located and an aperture through which the fan delivers the pressure.

Dispenser (1) for liquids comprising an applying nozzle constituted by a bell-shaped body (2) extending along a central axis (A) and provided, at the bottom, with an annular collar (3) and, at the top, with a convex cap (4); the bell-shaped body (2) having a first axial hole (5) whose cross-section decreases from the collar (3) towards said cap (4); a valve (7) for nebulizing the solution being housed inside the first hole (5) in a matching manner; an expansion device (9) being provided at the exit of said first hole (5).

A catheter, including a catheter body and a connector, can be adapted to a syringe for nasal flushing treatment. The catheter body is made of a soft material and has a flat closed distal end, a transitional segment having a flat closed segment and a lumen-containing oval segment, a circular normal segment and an open end on the opposite side of the flat closed distal end as well as multiple side-holes disposed near the closed end so that the catheter can be operated by patient to insert into a slit space of nasal cavity smaller than the diameter of the circular normal segment.
