Abstract:
1. A powered nasal cavity irrigator comprising a rigidly constructed main body having a handle and fluid reservoir, wherein the handle and the fluid reservoir are detachably connected to each other; an outlet nozzle extending from a top end of the handle; a pump mechanism operably coupled to a power source; and a switch operably coupled to the power source for turning the pump mechanism on and off, wherein the switch is arranged at an external surface of the handle; wherein when the switch turns on the pump mechanism, fluid flows from the fluid reservoir into a first fluid coupling between the reservoir and the pump mechanism and into a second fluid coupling between the pump mechanism to the outlet nozzle; the pump has a cycle rate between 2,000 to 3,000 cycles per minute; and the fluid exits the outlet nozzle at a pressure of approximately 5 pounds per square inch and at a flow rate between 500 to 600 milliliters per minute.
