NASAL
IRRIGATION –
Nasal
irrigation uses saline - just water & salt - to cleanse the nose. A wide
variety of applicators have been used over the years. Lavage or nasal
wash bottles direct a saline based solution into the nose. Their
effectiveness is limited since the saline solution tends to flow much
over the top of the bio-film in a superficial manner. Neti-pots
rely on simple gravity and require the head be tilted in an awkward and
uncomfortable position. They too are limited in effectiveness, messy to
use, and present similar disadvantages although both may be helpful in
providing temporary relief.
PULSATILE
IRRIGATION –
Pulsatile
irrigation's gentle pulsating action applies Bernoulli's principle and
the Venturi Effect to deliver a cleansing salt-water solution in an
easily controlled and effective manner. These principles explain how the
upper sinuses drain into the lower sinus creating a siphon effect;
when the lower sinus cavities of a patient have been cleared with
pulsatile irrigation. The oscillating stream of saline washes away the
thick, bio-film and frees your cilia to help you clear your sinuses of
infections and foreign substances that can lead to chronic infections.
Imagine rain drops falling from the sky landing on the soil with a
gentle force that breaks apart soil particles. As this process
continues, runoff water travels over the ground, collecting more soil
particles dislodged by the rain and transports them to a new location.
Pulsatile irrigation mimics a cleansing process present in nature.
IS THE SINUPULSE ELITE®
BETTER THAN A NETI POT?
ABSOLUTELY - CLINICALLY PROVEN 100X MORE EFFECTIVE!
 |
Neti pots may be good for watering your house plants but not your nose.
Don't be fooled by cheap,
messy, uncomfortable, and marginally effective neti pot devices. The SinuPulse
Elite®
pulsatile irrigation method is
used by world champion professional sports teams for proven and effective
allergy and sinus relief. Published clinical studies report it is up to
100X more effective at removing bacteria. Invest in your sinus health with
the most advanced nasal irrigation system available - The SinuPulse Elite®.
Your health deserves nothing less! |
Clinical
studies demonstrate that pulsatile irrigation is up to 100X more
effective [1], [2], [3] at cleansing and removing bacteria
than steady stream irrigation used by neti pots. Neti pots may be
adequate for nasal washing but can not break down biofilm, the thickened
layer of mucous that forms as a result of chronic allergy and sinus
problems. The intermittent lavage or pulsatile action of the
SinuPulse helps to massage nasal and sinus tissues, promote blood flow,
restore ciliary function, and remove bacteria.
