Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> The present invention is a nostril irrigator, which cleans the inside of the nostrils, that is, the nasal cavity and nasal mucosa, to treat allergic nasal inflammation, empyema, colds, and bronchitis. This invention relates to a nostril irrigator used for treatment and prevention.

<Prior Art> Currently used nostril irrigators include large treatment devices used by otorhinolaryngology specialists and pump type devices used by patients at home. These devices are not only large and complex in structure, but also difficult to operate and inconvenient to carry. In addition, with these conventional irrigators, if one is not used to them, the liquid may enter the trachea or be inhaled suddenly, irritating the nasal mucosa, making the user uncomfortable to use.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> As a result of his own experiments, the inventor of the present invention determined that the invention has remarkable efficacy in the treatment of allergic nasal inflammation, and also decided to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional method. To achieve this purpose, it is an object to provide a nostril irrigator which has an extremely simple structure, can be obtained at low cost, and can be easily handled at home without having to wait for a long time at a hospital. Another purpose of this invention is to use a new nostril irrigator to alleviate the damage caused by the passage of the nares irrigator into the nostrils, which is caused by extremely sensitive stimulation of the nasal mucosa, and to relieve the discomfort caused by its use. .

<Means for solving the problems> The present invention is an attempt to solve these objectives, and its gist is a irrigator that uses a container containing a nostril washing liquid and a conduit that guides the washing liquid into the nostrils. In addition, the conduit is provided with an insertion holding part that fits the nostril entrance to maintain an airtight space between the conduit and the nostril, and a suction adjustment means is provided to gently suck the cleaning liquid into the nostril by the patient's own suction. The feature is in the nostril irrigator.

<Example> A preferred example of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a container for storing water or a nostril cleaning liquid 2 containing a cleaning agent in water, and the amount of the nasal passage cleaning liquid 2 is the amount normally used for one cleaning.

Reference numeral 3 designates a conduit for guiding the nostril washing liquid to the nostrils, and an insertion holding part 4 is provided at the upper part of the conduit to be inserted into the entrance of the nostril and comes into close contact with the conduit 3. A continuous porous body 5 is loaded as a suction force adjusting means for gently suctioning the cleaning liquid into the nostrils. This continuous porous body 5 is
It uses a sponge-like material, and can be loaded and replaced depending on the frequency of use.

FIG. 2 shows a different embodiment from FIG. 1, in which the suction force adjustment means of the conduit 3 is replaced by the continuous porous body 5
Tie the pipe diameter of conduit 3 like a bench lily pipe 6
It has a structure that allows the nostril washing liquid to be gently sucked when suctioning from the nostrils.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment different from FIGS. 1 and 2, and its feature is that the storage container 1 and the conduit are integrated, and the conduit is connected to the hole 10 at the entrance 9 of the storage container 3 is inserted through it, and the stopper 7 is tightly attached. In this case, the storage container 1 is provided with an air hole 8 to allow air to be taken in from the outside during suction and used for cleaning. Regarding the integrity of the conduit 3 and the storage container 1, the conduit 3 and the storage container are connected by some means so that the nostril irrigator of the present invention can be lifted up with one hand, and the conduit 3 is connected to the nostril through the nostril. Any device may be used as long as the cleaning liquid 2 can be sucked, and therefore, it is not limited to the above embodiment. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the form of the storage container and the conduit have nothing to do with the gist of the present invention. In addition, by providing two conduits 3 or by making at least the upper half of the conduit 3 into a bifurcated tube, the whole can be made into a Y shape so that two nostrils can be washed at the same time.

The method of using the present invention consisting of the above configuration is as follows:
Store a predetermined amount of the nostril cleaning liquid 2 in the storage container 1, insert the upper part of the conduit 3 into the nostril entrance and bring it into close contact with the insertion holding part 4, and when cleaning one of the nostrils, open the nostril that will not be cleaned. This is done by holding the nostrils in place and gradually suctioning the nostril washing liquid 2, while spitting out the suctioned liquid from the mouth. When cleaning two nostrils at the same time, it is done in substantially the same manner as above.

<Effects of the invention> According to the invention, since it has a structure consisting of a conduit and a storage container containing a nostril cleaning solution, it can be easily manufactured and can be easily used at home by patients suffering from allergic rhinitis such as hay fever. can do. In addition, in this invention, the insertion holding part can fit closely to the nostril, so air does not enter from the outside, and a suction force adjustment means is provided.
Even when the patient suctions the nostril cleansing liquid into the nostrils, it is possible to comfortably clean the nostrils by avoiding sudden suction of the nostril cleansing liquid.
