Electronic nasal aspirator

Posted on by admin

Which aspirator is best to choose for a newborn, and how to use a baby nozzle pump correctly?

Snot is an eternal problem for young children. What to do if the baby is still so small that he cannot blow his nose on his own?

Table of contents:

Nasal rinses do not do their job. What remains? Nasal aspirators or nozzle ejectors come to the rescue. The market for these devices today is wide and diverse. You can choose both manual and electronic options. Upon closer inspection, you will be able to see which type suits you best.

What should you use an aspirator for?

The type of snot and its origin may vary, but there are a number of reasons why you should suck it out:

  • They prevent the baby from breathing, especially during feeding or sleep.
  • When too much mucus accumulates, especially if it turns greenish or yellowish, there is a risk of complications. Regular-looking snot can turn into rhinitis, sinusitis and even otitis media. The auditory tube in babies is still very wide and short, which means the distance between the nasal passage and the middle ear is minimal.
  • When your nose is clogged, you have to breathe through your mouth, and this puts your respiratory system at risk. A direct path opens for bacteria and there is a danger of hypothermia of the pharynx, and there it is not far from general inflammation.

Rules for choosing a nozzle pump

A nozzle ejector is absolutely necessary for a baby, but the choice of model and operating principle depends entirely on the convenience of the mother.

When setting yourself the task of choosing a good aspirator, it is important to consider the following characteristics:

  • ability to regulate power;
  • ease of washing after use;
  • the presence of a fuse that comes into effect when the mucus collection tank is full;
  • silent way of operation;
  • application is possible in different age groups;
  • the presence of additional functions: there are electronic devices where the baby will be distracted from the process by a pleasant melody, and devices with a spray function can also be convenient.

Nasal aspirators are divided into 4 main types:

  1. aspirator-syringe;
  2. mechanical aspirator;
  3. electronic aspirator;
  4. vacuum aspirator.

What type of aspirators is best? Let's figure it out together by exploring the market for modern devices.

Types of aspirators

Aspirator-syringe

What does a syringe look like? Outwardly, it resembles a “pear” made of rubber or silicone. The volume of the “pear” may vary. This aspirator for newborns is sold together with a nozzle that can be used repeatedly. It also has a limiter. After use, all parts should be washed thoroughly in hot water and soap. It is recommended to sterilize the nozzle itself or treat it by immersing it in a solution of hydrogen peroxide (3%).

  • simple design;
  • if purchased at a pharmacy, the product is environmentally safe;
  • low price.
  • there is a danger of damaging the mucous membrane;
  • the suction force cannot be adjusted;
  • it is difficult to assess the sucked volume and type of mucus.

The syringe performs its functions, but this method can be called “blind”, since the contents are not visible after suction

An ordinary medical syringe is suitable for this method. It is advisable to take a syringe of minimal volume. There is a wider selection in children's stores. Suction machines are found here in the form of toys, colorful and funny.

Proper cleaning of the nose with a syringe is done like this. You need to squeeze the “pear” with one hand, blowing out the existing air from it, and then place the nozzle in the baby’s nose, after which the hand unclenches and sucks the mucus inside the “pear”. At the end of the procedure, wipe the nozzles with a cotton swab and blow out the contents of the syringe onto a napkin. Perform these manipulations until the baby's nose is completely free. Cost: 100 rub.

Mechanical

The operating principle of aspirators of this type is similar, but the appearance may differ. In general, the design looks like this: a thin, long transparent silicone tube with an air valve at the end. One end with a nozzle is inserted into the little one’s nose, and the opposite end is intended for the mother. It should suck in air, pulling sniffles out of the baby’s nose. Mom's protection is provided by a valve and a special disposable filter.
  • compactness;
  • ease of use;
  • efficiency;
  • It is possible to monitor the quantity and quality of snot.

Some aspirator models are offered with reusable tips that require boiling or sterilization after each use. Nozzle ejectors with replaceable nozzles require the regular purchase of new disposable nozzles, which must be changed after each use.

If you get used to using mechanical aspirators, they can become a very convenient device.

Popular models

  • Русский
  • The most affordable of these options is the Marimer model. Its price ranges from 200 to 280 rubles. The manufacturer recommends steaming the nozzle after use rather than boiling it.
  • Another good option is Narhinel. Its cost ranges from 300 to 400 rubles. The kit includes two disposable nozzles with filters. You can purchase a set of additional replacement nozzles (10 pcs.).
  • Parents often prefer the Otrivin Baby model. It also comes with 3 disposable nozzles with filters. The price for this device is 280 rubles. Thrifty parents advise changing not the attachments, but the filters, using regular cotton wool instead. Aspirator for newborns Otrivin is the choice of modern mothers.
  • From an ergonomic point of view, the most successful model is Pigeon, developed by the Japanese. The price for it is 770 rubles. The nozzle has an inclined shape and is most comfortable for a child's nose. The tip is made in the shape of the letter U. This development is a joint work of designers and otolaryngologists. The reservoir and the nozzle here are one whole, and therefore the structure is easy to apply to the baby’s nose. The tube has the optimal length for sucking out mucus. You will find photos and videos of each aspirator model on the Internet.

The Pigeon aspirator can be called a leader for its undoubted convenience and ergonomic shape

Electronic

This type of device runs on batteries. The device should be inserted into the baby’s nose with the nozzle and press “Start”. The unit operates almost silently, and for the child’s comfort there is a number of musical compositions, and there is also a useful function of spraying saline solution into the nasal cavity.

  • effective work in removing mucus;
  • convenience for the child;
  • available additional capabilities: use as an aspirator and as a nebulizer for medicinal solutions; this function is especially important for sinusitis and sinusitis.
  • high price;
  • cannot be used too often, otherwise there is a danger of drying out the mucous membrane.

Among the manufacturers of electronic models, we list the following brands: Coclean, Сleanoz, WC-150 B.Well. The latter is the most popular model. It contains 12 melodies that help distract the child’s attention during the session. Cost: cut

An electronic respirator is more expensive than others, but it allows mothers to quickly remove all the mucus without hysterics and crying.

Vacuum

This type of aspirator requires connection to a vacuum cleaner. It consists of a special tube with additional attachments for the vacuum cleaner and for the spout. One tip is brought to the little one’s nose, and the other is inserted into the vacuum cleaner. One nostril should be closed with your finger, after which you need to turn on the vacuum cleaner. This device works well for sucking out stubborn, thick snot that cannot be sucked out with a syringe or mechanical aspirator.

  • it is very convenient to regulate the vacuum;
  • the suction is very effective due to the duration of the cycle (pauses are 30 seconds);
  • no pain;
  • there is no danger of infecting the assistant.
  • the operation of a vacuum cleaner can frighten a child, so it is advisable to use a silent version of the vacuum cleaner;
  • high price.

The most popular is a series of mechanical models from the Arianna company. At home, the best option would be a convenient new product from this manufacturer called Magic, the price of which ranges from 700 to 800 rubles. You can clean your spout in just a couple of moments.

The Baby-Vac aspirator has proven itself well. Suction control is automatic and continuous suction is convenient. The operation of the vacuum cleaner should be switched to the lowest possible mode or the window on the pipe should be opened. The convenient shape of the nozzles provides protection against insertion into the nostril too deeply. The set includes two nozzles. How much does such a unit cost? The price of the device is approximately 990 rubles.

Among the disadvantages, we list the excessive noise and vibration of the vacuum cleaner, which can frighten a small child. The device can be used no more than 2-3 times a day.

We make an aspirator ourselves

Mom and dad can make an aspirator for newborns with their own hands. To make such a device, you will need a gastric or urological catheter and a simple pipette. There are two options for connecting parts:

  1. The catheter should be cut off at the rounded end, and then a piece of glass pipette should be placed on it.
  2. In another case, the rounded part of the catheter is inserted into the pipette, then mucus is collected in it, avoiding getting into the tube. The difficulty in this case is that it is difficult to select the appropriate diameters of the catheter and pipette.

Is sterility necessary?

You can clean the tips by rinsing them under running water and soap. If desired, you can pour boiling water over them or use a special solution for disinfection. Sterile cleanliness is not required because the nose is not sterile. Through it, even without the use of a nasal aspirator, often impure air comes in.

Regular laundry soap will help kill germs and ensure cleanliness.

Rules for using the aspirator

Different types of nozzle ejectors require different operating conditions and appropriate preparation. All requirements are set out in the instructions that come with the unit. Let us list the main principles of suctioning mucus using nozzle ejectors:

  • The child should be laid on his back or his head slightly tilted back, for which a towel rolled into a roll is used. A saline solution should be dropped into the nose to soften the mucus. Instead of saline solution, you can use the following drugs: Marimer, Salin or Humer, then wait 15 seconds.
  • When using a manual aspirator in the form of a pear, squeeze the rubber part with your hand, and then carefully insert the tip into the nasal passage. The free nostril should be pressed slightly. Then you need to slowly unclench your hand, the rest of the injected solution is absorbed along with the snot. Remove the pear and squeeze out the mucus onto a napkin. Wipe the nozzle and start treating the second nostril.
  • Before use, the aspirator with vacuum must be assembled by connecting the tip and two flasks. The conical flask is connected to the hose, after which the vacuum cleaner can be turned on. The power of the nozzle pump is regulated using a hole in the cylindrical flask. Depending on the need, it is opened or closed. There is no need to cover the other nostril. The vacuum cleaner is turned off, and then the aspirator is removed.
  • When using a vacuum aspirator in manual mode, remove the conical tip. The freed end serves as an opening for mucus suction. The device must be disinfected as follows: remove the flask, wash all parts, and sterilize the tip itself.
  • When using the electric format of the nasal aspirator, you should put on the silicone nozzle and then insert it into the nostril. The device is turned on, and the second nostril is covered with a finger. The baby does not have to be laid down; a sitting position is possible for the procedure.

Having got the hang of it, mommy can remove the accumulated mucus from the baby’s nose without much hassle.

Useful tips

  1. In order not to harm the baby, you need to carefully read the instructions before using the nozzle pump.
  2. Do not use herbal infusions to rinse a newborn's nose. They may cause allergic reactions. The appearance of snot is not a signal to use vasoconstrictor drugs such as Nazol, Otrivin or Xidin. The baby is quite capable of overcoming snot without using it, and besides, it is not entirely safe for the health of a newborn baby.
  3. The best time to suck out snot is before meals or before bed, this will make the process that follows easier. First, you should rinse and clean the nose, and only then apply medicinal drops (Otrivin, Vibrocil, Pinosol, etc.).
  4. Nozzles should be changed to prevent re-infection of the child's body. For example, the Otrivin baby aspirator comes with 3 nozzles, and it is also possible to additionally buy replacement nozzles in a set of 10 pieces.
  5. The disposable nozzle must be disposed of after use. The rest is treated with steam, boiling water or a disinfectant solution. The disposable pads included in the kit, as in the Otrivin model, cannot be used twice or used to clean the noses of different children.
  6. Keep in mind that automatic and vacuum devices excessively dry out the mucous membrane. After using them, be sure to moisten the nose with saline solution. A pediatrician may recommend treating snot that torments a baby for more than three days and causes discomfort with vasoconstrictor drops. To do this, you should use products with a minimum concentration: Nazol baby, Otrivin or Phenylephrine.

After the procedure, you can put medicinal or moisturizing drops into your nose.

Precautionary measures

In their practice, pediatricians sometimes recommend the use of additional means for sucking out snot, but do not forget to warn parents to be as attentive and careful as possible. When using a nasal aspirator, there is a danger of harming the baby:
  • it is possible to injure the inner surface of the nose due to the fact that the baby may twitch during the procedure (this happens when using any type of device);
  • if you use the vacuum device carelessly, the nozzle can stick to the mucous membrane and lead to its damage, including bleeding;
  • Do not leave the tip in the spout, and avoid inserting too deeply.

The aspirator should have soft edges and stops to prevent the nozzle from being inserted too deeply. When carrying out the procedure, it is important to be calm and confident, while at the same time not forgetting about a sense of proportion.

We should not forget that liquid snot flows out on its own. The most important thing is not to let them dry out. Excessively thick snot will not respond to any type of device. Use aspirators only when absolutely necessary; the rest of the time, try to maintain a comfortable temperature and humidity in the room. Use special solutions to thin mucus.

Contraindications for use

Before purchasing an aspirator, be sure to consult an ENT specialist about existing diseases for which the use of these devices is not permitted. You should absolutely not use them if:

  • the child has regular nosebleeds;
  • there are tumor formations in the nose, sinuses or nasopharynx;
  • absolute obstruction of the nasal passages.

    Electric nasal aspirators - review of the best models and reviews from mothers

    An electric nasal aspirator is a device for clearing mucus from the nose. Its design usually includes:

    • colored plastic case hiding the insides;
    • inside the case there is a small compressor that pumps air out of the tip;
    • a plastic or silicone tip that expands or is equipped with a limiter for insertion into the nostrils;
    • a transparent plastic container designed to collect mucus coming from the tip opening;
    • replaceable batteries in the compartment under the cover.

    The aspirator is suitable for newborns as the safest and most effective snot aspirator.

    Electric aspirators are effective and convenient.

    To use an electronic nozzle suction device, you need to insert the tip of the device into one nostril and press a button. The pump will turn on, which creates an air flow that draws the mucus with it. It remains in a special tank that can be removed and washed.

    Advantages of electric aspirators:

    • Easy to use.
    • Continuity of absorption (mucus is removed quickly).
    • Safety of use (there is a limiter).
    • Easy to clean from collected mucus.
    • The manufacturer puts 2 attachments in the package. While one is cleaned and disinfected, you can use the other.
    • The transparent reservoir helps to evaluate the result of cleansing.
    • Some models can not only suck out snot, but also moisten the nose by injecting saline solution.
    • Some aspirators are designed to play melodies that distract the baby from the procedure. They turn on when you press a button.

    The baby aspirator has only two disadvantages: the high price and the need to buy additional batteries. The first drawback is more than compensated by the effectiveness of the procedure compared to pears. Unlike mechanical aspirators, electric aspirators do not require replaceable nozzles. And the batteries don't run out so quickly that it puts a big dent in your budget.

    B.Well

    The B.Well electronic nozzle ejector comes with 2 nozzles of different shapes: you will be able to choose the most convenient option for the baby’s nose. The device memory contains 12 popular melodies for children. While you are cleaning your baby's nose, he will be captivated by the music, and the procedure will go unnoticed. Why extra tears?

    • Age – 0+.
    • Weight - 250 g.
    • Device dimensions: 93x150x40 mm.
    • Powered by a pair of 1.5 V AA batteries.
    • Material: plastic + silicone.
    • Color: yellow + white.
    • Melodies - yes (12).
    • Aerosol function - no.
    • Country of origin: Great Britain.

    The average cost is rubles.

    “Before I bought an electronic aspirator, I tried to use two models. The first one is a pear. It is cheap, sucks out snot well, but it takes a very long time - the baby is spinning and crying. Then the vacuum aspirator connected to the vacuum cleaner received my attention. Convenient, fast. But as it turns out, my daughter can’t stand the noise of the vacuum cleaner and starts crying so much that the mucus only increases. The last hope was an electronic nozzle ejector from B.Well. This is heaven and earth. Now cleaning your nose is not only a quick and effective procedure - but also fun. After all, children's songs are very amusing. And in search of the source of the sound, they forget about everything bad.”

    We invite you to read another review about this model from Olga from Moscow, and we publish the video that the author shot for it right here:

    Coclean

    20% (compared to the previous model) increased suction power helps to more effectively suck mucus out of spouts. And this is combined with reduced noise levels! The tips for insertion into the nostrils have been perfected - they now have a slightly curved cone shape. The device can be used as a sprayer.

    • Age - 6 months +.
    • Weight - 300 g.
    • Device dimensions: 92x192x52.5 mm.
    • Powered by a built-in battery.
    • Charging time is from 8 to 12 hours.
    • Continuous operation time - 25 minutes.
    • Material: plastic + silicone.
    • Color - blue + white.
    • There are no melodies.
    • Aerosol function - yes.
    • The capacity of the spray reservoir is 15 ml.
    • The volume of the container is 5 ml.
    • Country of origin: South Korea.

    The average cost is rubles.

    “I wanted to find something easy to use and multifunctional. And the Coclean New aspirator satisfied my requirements, so my choice fell on this model. Of course, 8 thousand rubles for an aspirator is a lot, but I got the opportunity not only to remove accumulated mucus from the child, but also to quickly spray the nose. It’s difficult with kids and regular sprays: if the child is lying down, the spray doesn’t want to splash down. But holding a baby vertically in your arms and splashing at the same time is inconvenient. That’s why I don’t regret my choice—my son’s nose is always clean!”

    Cleanoz

    This is a nozzle ejector that does not require cleaning, since the mucus accumulates in a special bag located behind the tip. After each procedure, you need to remove the nozzle and replace it with a new one.

    • Age – 0+.
    • Weight - 330 g.
    • Device dimensions: 150x60x240 mm with packaging (device length without it - 160 mm).
    • Powered by three AAA batteries (included).
    • Material: plastic + latex.
    • Color - blue + white.
    • There are no melodies.
    • Aerosol function - no.
    • Replaceable nozzles - yes (3 pieces included).
    • Packaging for transportation is included - 12 pcs.
    • Country of origin: China.

    The average cost is rubles.

    “A good aspirator that copes with its function - clearing mucus from small noses. But I didn’t like the fact that each procedure requires a new attachment. Yes, it’s hygienic, but how many replacement tips do you need to buy! They are sold separately in packs of 10. For some reason they put transport packages with them. It turns out that it needs to be transported more often than used for its intended purpose.”

    Bremed

    A relatively inexpensive aspirator that combines the functions of a nozzle ejector and an irrigator.

    • Age – 0 +.
    • Weight - 340 g.
    • Device dimensions: 146x40x158 mm.
    • Powered by a built-in battery.
    • Charging time - up to 6 hours.
    • Continuous operation time - 25 minutes.
    • Material: plastic + silicone.
    • White color.
    • There are no melodies.
    • Aerosol function - yes.
    • The capacity of the spray reservoir is 5 ml.
    • The volume of the container is 3 ml.
    • Country of origin: Italy.

    The average cost is rubles.

    “We bought an electronic aspirator when our 5-month-old son caught a cold. He secreted a lot of mucus, which flowed down his throat. I was afraid that he would choke and, while our dad was rushing to buy something, I tried to get the snot out with a pipette. It turned out bad.

    Nasal aspirators for newborns (types of aspirators and how to use them)

    An aspirator is a necessary item in the home first aid kit for every family with a newborn child.

    A nasal aspirator is a simple device for sucking mucus from a child's nasal passages. People call it “nozzle sucker”.

    Why is a runny nose dangerous in a newborn?

    Mucus and dust accumulate in the baby's nasal passages, and crusts may even form. This is not always a consequence of a cold. It’s just that in the rooms, especially in winter, the air is very dry, which does not have a very good effect on the mucous membranes of the child’s nose.

    As a consequence of this, the baby may develop rhinitis, simply a runny nose.

    • The mucus prevents him from breathing, the child cannot suckle the breast or sleep peacefully. This is very dangerous for the baby. He cannot breathe through his mouth, and his nose is clogged with mucus. Some parents try to put drops into their nose for a runny nose. But they will not improve the baby's condition.
    • The baby is still helpless; he cannot blow his nose on his own. A runny nose can lead to breathing problems and the most unpredictable consequences.
    • Abundant mucus, if not removed, can enter the baby's middle ear cavity through the internal auditory tube. This can cause a serious illness - otitis media. And require much more labor-intensive treatment using antibiotics.

    Therefore, in the first months of a baby’s life, it is important to consult a pediatrician. He will prescribe treatment.

    And to avoid the use of medications for a runny nose, a small device - an aspirator - will help. Using it, you can quickly and easily remove nasal discharge.

    Types and characteristics of nasal aspirators

    What types of aspirators are there?

    In the form of a syringe

    This is the most primitive and cheapest type of aspirator (about 50 rubles). It consists of a rubber bulb with a soft silicone tip.

    It's easy to use:

    1. Squeeze the pear.
    2. Carefully insert the tip into the nasal passage.
    3. Slowly release the pear.
    4. Along with the air, mucus will also be absorbed.
    5. After finishing the cleansing, the syringe must be thoroughly rinsed and boiled.

    The big disadvantage of this aspirator is the lack of a limiter on the tip. You have to insert it “by eye”, so there is a danger of causing injury to the mucous membrane of the nose.

    The second disadvantage is that the bulb is opaque, so it is not visible whether the liquid contents have been sucked out of the nose.

    Mechanical

    Each company advertises its own aspirator, but the type and principle of operation are always the same.

    • A mechanical aspirator is a tube with a reservoir for mucus and has a replaceable filter that prevents mucus from entering the adult’s mouth.
    • Its tips are soft and often replaceable, so the risk of mucosal injury is low.
    • The principle of operation is simple - an adult inserts the tip of the tube into the child’s nose and sucks in air.
    • The secretions enter the transparent tank with air, where they remain.
    • After use, the device is either thrown away (if disposable) or sterilized.
    • Such aspirators cost around 200 rubles. Some models require the purchase of disposable tips.

    Electronic

    This is one of the most expensive, but also the most effective types of aspirators. Its positive aspects:

    • Soft silicone tip with stopper.
    • Automatic removal of mucus and crusts. Just insert the tip into the nasal passage, press the button, and the device will do the rest.
    • There is a transparent container for collecting mucus. You can clearly see how and how much of it was removed from the baby’s nose.
    • The ability to rinse the baby’s nose with water – plain boiled or sea water.
    • The power of the device is low, so the risk of injury to the mucous membrane is low.
    • The small size of the device and the ability to operate on batteries allow you to take it with you on the road.
    • Many electronic aspirators can play several tunes, which serves as a distraction during the operation to clean the baby’s nose.

    The disadvantage of this device is its rather high cost (from one and a half thousand rubles) and fragility.

    Vacuum

    This is a fairly new type of aspirator.

    • The principle of its operation is based on connecting the device to the tube of a regular home vacuum cleaner (!) through a mouthpiece.
    • The tip of this type of aspirator is removable.
    • Both attachments must be disinfected after use.
    • Many parents are alarmed by the fact that the mucus will be sucked out by a vacuum cleaner. After all, it has quite a strong suction power.
    • There's no need to worry. The device contains a flask - a collector, and as soon as a vacuum of continuous suction is established in it, the spout is quickly cleaned, literally in a few seconds.

    The advantages of this type of aspirator are safety, efficiency of use, durability. This type of aspirator is considered one of the best.

    The disadvantages include the noisy operation of the vacuum cleaner, which can frighten the baby, and the rather high price - about 1,300 rubles.

    How to use an aspirator

    • Regardless of the type of aspirator, be sure to read the instructions.
    • Use the device only when absolutely necessary. Its frequent use leads to drying and malfunction of the mucous membrane of the nasal passages, weakening its protective properties.
    • For allergic rhinitis, it is better to use anti-allergy drugs.
    • Before performing suction, it is advisable to moisten the nasal passages with saline solution, a decoction of chamomile or sage. At the same time, the thick mucus thins and the crusts soften. When carrying out the irrigation procedure, hold the child upright so that moisture does not enter the respiratory tract.
    • Before purchasing an aspirator, consult your pediatrician.
    • When suctioning, hold the tip straight, avoiding suction to the nasal walls. Otherwise, you can injure the mucous membrane, causing bleeding.
    • If you don't know how to use a nasal aspirator or are simply afraid, ask an experienced nurse for advice. Carry out the first procedure under her guidance.

    Sequence for cleaning the spout

    1. Read the instructions for use of the device carefully.
    2. When performing the procedure, follow the rules for using the aspirator.
    3. Prepare a saline solution or decoction of the desired herb.
    4. Hold your baby upright in your arms or make him recline.
    5. Make sure that the baby does not worry, otherwise you may accidentally damage the nasal mucosa.
    6. Turn the baby's head to the side and carefully drop 3 to 5 drops with a pipette into one nasal passage.
    7. Sprays should not be used for newborns and infants up to one year old.
    8. Close the other nostril with your finger.
    9. After instillation, insert the tip into the nasal passage and suck out the mucus.
    10. The child remains in an upright position during the entire procedure.
    11. Do the same with the other nasal passage.
    12. Rinse the device after use and disinfect it.
    13. How often to perform the aspiration procedure depends on the rate of mucus formation in the child’s nose.

    An aspirator is a necessary device for successfully combating rhinitis in a child. Consult your doctor and buy this device. And then the problem of a runny nose will be solved easily and simply.

    Video: cleaning a newborn’s nose from mucus

    Somehow things didn’t work out for us with aspirators. I bought several types and they all sit idle. The baby was born small and all these devices were one and a half times larger than his nostrils! I simply washed his nose with sea water and then cleaned it out with a cotton swab.

    Oh, I saw an elephant, I remembered all these manipulations so clearly) I, however, only had this type of aspirator, I have nothing to compare it with, but I didn’t need it. I was more than happy with this elephant. A very smooth nozzle that, even if desired, will not injure the baby’s nose. The volume of the container itself is quite sufficient to pull out all unnecessary things from the spout with good force. If the nozzles are dry, you can always soak them with Humer or Aquamaris. And pull it out without any problems. Wonderful handy item! And no need for any hassles!

    We just recently got rid of these nasty snot. We used an ordinary pear, but it had such a long tip that I was afraid to stick it too deep, so I trimmed it a little, then everything went easier. But it would be better not to know what a respirator is, I feel so sorry for the baby when you do this procedure, especially so small, you want to cry yourself. Vibrocil was also dripped after removing the snot.

    At first there was an elephant pear, which was of little use, then I bought Otrivin Baby, but I never got the hang of it (I couldn’t hold the baby with one hand and pinch one nostril, and with the other hold the device itself and suck it in) a couple of times the foam filter allowed mucus to pass directly into me mouth (I’ll say something with something) then in the end I got sick. And these attachments are expensive to buy (250 rubles for 5 pieces or something) then I bought them with B.Well kids batteries exactly as in the photo for 1300 rubles and did not regret it. Always helps out. We lost the silicone attachments and easily found where to buy them. I recommend .

    Nasal aspirator: operating principle, types, popular models

    An aspirator is an effective device that is used to cleanse the nose in young children. With the help of this device you can cope with a runny nose and significantly improve your baby’s well-being. That’s why it’s so important to choose the right device and learn how to use it.

    Nasal aspirator

    This term refers to a device that is used to remove secretions from the nasal cavity. Aspirators can have different operating principles.

    The functioning mechanism is based on creating different pressures between the nose and the device. Thanks to this, it is possible to deduce the secret.

    Aspirators are used for infants and children under 3 years of age who cannot blow their nose. This device is used in the following situations:

    • runny nose in a child under 3 months old - the use of vasoconstrictors in this situation is strictly limited;
    • a viral disease in a child under 3 years of age, which is accompanied by severe catarrhal manifestations - severe nasal discharge, inflammatory lesions of the nasopharynx;
    • allergic rhinitis;
    • foreign object in the nose;
    • teething - this process is often accompanied by rhinitis and inflammation.

    Principle of operation

    Modern devices include a tube and a container for collecting secretions. They are also equipped with a tip and a syringe. In addition, there are electronic and vacuum devices that do not have a tube.

    The appearance of the device depends on its type. The simplest device looks like an ordinary syringe. The mechanism of operation is as follows:

    • the device collects thick secretions from the nose;
    • the tip is placed in one nasal opening, pressure appears, which ensures the removal of mucus out;
    • mucus penetrates the reservoir, and the passages of the nose are cleared;
    • the desired suction effect is ensured by a special vacuum cleaner, mother’s mouth or an electronic system.

    There are quite a few varieties of such devices, each of which has certain features.

    Mechanical

    This device is a tube that is equipped with a disposable nozzle and a container for collecting mucus. The secretion is drawn out due to the pressure created by the mother's mouth. The mucus accumulates in a special reservoir.

    Electronic

    This is a fairly simple and convenient device. Some models not only collect secretions, but also provide moisturizing and rinsing of the nasal passages. A transparent reservoir is used to collect liquid.

    Vacuum

    This is the most effective device that resembles a modern otolaryngological “cuckoo” device.

    The device is highly effective and helps clean the deepest areas of the nose. The vacuum effect is provided by a special vacuum cleaner.

    The device is absolutely safe for the child, as it regulates the suction power. The threat of damage to the mucous membranes is minimal.

    What can be replaced

    The nasal aspirator can be replaced with a small rubber syringe. It must be equipped with a small tip.

    How to choose an aspirator for a child, says Dr. Komarovsky:

    Techniques of use, safety rules

    To achieve optimal results, you need to adhere to these recommendations:

    1. Before the procedure, you need to achieve optimal thickness of the secretion. To solve this problem, you need to drip your nose with saline solution. For this purpose, you can only use a pipette. Sprays are contraindicated for young children.
    2. Squeeze the aspirator bulb, place it in the nasal opening and gradually release your hand. Due to the pressure difference, the secretion will enter the reservoir.
    3. If using a mechanical device, put on the disposable nozzle, place the tip in the nostril and draw in air using the tube. The secret will fall into the container, which is located at the bottom of the device.
    4. The electronic device is turned on using a button. The tip should be placed in the nasal opening. In this case, the second nostril should be closed with your finger. This will help create a vacuum inside the nose.
    5. When using a vacuum device, you also need to insert the tip into the nose. It is important to do this as carefully as possible so as not to damage the baby’s mucous membranes.

    An aspirator is a very effective device that helps cope with runny nose in newborns. To achieve good results, it is very important to strictly follow the instructions.
