Abstract:
A device for irrigating or washing the nasal cavities and the rhinopharynx which comprises a bell-shapes nozzle, adapted to be sealingly pressed to a nostril of a user, and a connection tube which connects said nozzle to a bag adapted to contain a solution, wherein said bell-shaped nozzle has elliptical shaped sections orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle, said sections having a major symmetry axis and a minor symmetry axis of different length; and wherein said bell-shaped nozzle has a tip end and has three holes arranged at said tip end of said nozzle for the outflow of a solution in three streams diverging from each other toward each of the three meatus of the nasal cavities, each hole communicating with a tubular joint positioned inside said nozzle and connected to said connection tube, said holes being radially arranged on the symmetry plane which includes the major symmetry axes (a) of said nozzle.
