Device of controlled provision of sea water in the nose

Abstract

For the treatment of the upper respiratory system is used sea water due to its due to its anaplastic, healing and hypertonic (osmosis) characteristics, deriving if it stays for adequate time inside the nasal conchas and nose cavities. This invention for its accomplishment, guarantees a stable column of water for adequate period of time in the nasal cavities and by the ingestion (Valsava) the water is pushed in the nasal conchas and the ducts of the nose sinuses and cavities and is consisted of Central storehouses (1) having a movable pin (4) with manually-operated provides water via the pipe (5) in the mouth (8). The central pipe (5a) provides the water to the nose and the small pipe (5b) to the periphery of the mouth (8) that expands it for its sealed application and is based in two edges (10). Alternatively the pipes (5) and the mouths are joined by one (5c) which is adapted in the entrance (12) of the bag (1a) with a pin (13), moved by electricity (13) or manually-operated.

Claims

1. A device to simultaneously provide, in a controlled and repeated manner, a quantity of fixed volume of sea water or saline into nasal cavities, nasal conchae and paranasal sinuses of both nostrils of a nose, comprising: a base having at least a main storage area and a small storehouse; and two pipes, connected to the base, each of the two pipes having: a main channel and a secondary channel, and a mouth at one end thereof; the main and secondary channels connecting at the one end with the mouth; the mouth having an expandable periphery, wherein the respective main channels are connected to the main storage area which is configured to simultaneously provide, upon activation of a mechanism, content to the main channels from the main storage area, wherein a first of the main channels is configured to provide content to a first nostril and a second of the main channels is configured to simultaneously provide content to a second nostril and wherein the small storehouse is configured to be filled with water and provide water through the respective secondary channels to each of the peripheries of each of the mouths to expand each of the peripheries of each of the mouths.

2. The device according to claim 1, where the mouth has a shape to achieve sealed application when the periphery expands and wherein each mouth has two points one out frontal point and one out lower point.

3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the base comprises the main storage area in the form of two tubular storehouses, wherein one is connected to the main channel of one pipe and the other to the main channel of the other pipe, respectively, and configured to provide content to both main channels upon pressure.

4. The device according to the claim 3, where each tubular storehouse has connected departments and a movable piston at an outer end which is configured, by a simple pressure with the fingers of a hand, to provide to the main channel the content of each department, respectively, and where the departments are separated externally with interruptible drivers.

5. The device according to the claim 3, wherein each tubular storehouse comprises four departments.

6. The device according to the claim 1, wherein the two main channels are joined in one common pipe at the base and wherein the common pipe is configured to be connected to and receive content from a multiple use main storage area.

7. The device according to claim 6, further comprising the multiple use main storage area.

8. The device according to claim 7, wherein the multiple use main storage area comprises: a base with a piston; a mechanism for moving the piston; wherein, upon activation of the mechanism the device is configured to provide a preselected quantity of content to both nostrils.

9. The device according to claim 8, wherein the mechanism is manual operated and each time provides the preselected quantity to both nostrils.

10. The device according to claim 8, wherein the device comprises a battery for providing power to the mechanism and the multiple use main storage area further comprises a surface switch, connected between the battery and the mechanism, for activating the mechanism.

11. The device according to claim 1, wherein the main storage area comprises sea water.

12. The device according to claim 1, wherein the main storage area comprises saline containing antibiotic.
