20090062733 | Nasal Insert Device - Inter-nasal delivery devices are disclosed. The inter-nasal delivery devices can include a first nasal element and a second nasal element that are configured to be inserted into adjacent nostrils. In one embodiment, the nasal elements can have a tubular shape. In one embodiment, a sinus relief composition that emits vapors that are to be inhaled by the user can be positioned on the inside surfaces of the nasal elements. Sinus relief composition can be applied to the inside surface without block an open passageway through each nostril. In an alternative embodiment, a pharmaceutically active compound can be applied to exterior surfaces of the nasal elements for absorption through nasal tissue. In still another embodiment, the nasal elements can have a panel-like shape as opposed to a tubular shape. | 03-05-2009 |
20100152653 | Systems and methods for nasal lavage - A nasal lavage device includes a source of saline solution, an effluent receptacle, and a nasal interface for engaging the nostrils of a user of the device. A fluid passageway is disposed to communicate the source of saline solution with the effluent receptacle through the nasal cavity of the user. The nasal interface and fluid passageways are included within a removable cartridge for communicating the saline relative to the nostrils in a first direction. A second cartridge can be inserted to communicate the flow in a second direction. The interface includes nasal pillows that form a seal against the user's nostrils. | 06-17-2010 |
20110288476 | Systems and methods for nasal lavage - A nasal lavage device includes a source of saline solution, an effluent receptacle, and a nasal interface for engaging the nostrils of a user of the device. A fluid passageway is disposed to communicate the source of saline solution with the effluent receptacle through the nasal cavity of the user. The nasal interface and fluid passageways are included within a removable cartridge for communicating the saline relative to the nostrils in a first direction. A second cartridge can be inserted to communicate the flow in a second direction. The interface includes nasal pillows that form a seal against the user's nostrils. | 11-24-2011 |
20120078173 | Systems and methods for nasal irrigation - Systems and methods for nasal irrigation are provided in which a nasal irrigation device includes a source of saline, an effluent receptacle, a nasal interface, a vacuum source, a fluid passageway to communicate the source of saline with the effluent receptacle through the nasal interface and a nasal cavity of the user, and a switch and valve assembly for selectively controlling the vacuum source and flow of the saline solution through the fluid passageway. The saline source is disposed relative to the device to provide gravitational inducement of saline to the nasal interface in engagement to the device user's nostrils. A combination of the gravitational inducement and the relative vacuum from the effluent receptacle generates a fluid flow for irrigating, cleansing and massaging the nasal cavity and ostia of a user. The entire device is assembled as a hand-held device for convenient lifting and disposal against the user's nostrils. | 03-29-2012 |
20130158475 | Devices for Delivering a Medicament and Connector for Same - A method and device for delivering medicament such as for ameliorating pain in a patient from an injector superiorly and/or laterally and/or anteriorly towards the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG). A device for delivering a medicament to a patient in need thereof includes (a) an injector containing a first end configured to remain outside a nasal passage of the patient and a second end configured for entry into the nasal passage of the patient; and (b) an introducer configured for engagement with a nostril of the patient and containing a passageway configured for slidably receiving the injector. The injector is moveable between a storage position preceding the engagement and an engaging position pursuant to the engagement. The device may further include a locking connection assembly that is useful in other devices. | 06-20-2013 |
20160030282 | DEVICE OF CONTROLLED PROVISION OF SEA WATER IN THE NOSE - 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 ( | 02-04-2016 |
20160058961 | System and Method of Nasal Aromatic Delivery - A system and method are disclosed for administration of pharmacologically- or therapeutically-active essential oils by inhalation from a nose-attached device. | 03-03-2016 |
