Abstract:
A device for nasal lavage is described. The device ejects a gentle flow of fluid under pressure. The fluid stream provides a high quantity of fluid at low pressure. The low pressure fluid stream is more comfortable for a user than a high pressure fluid stream that is delivered by some types of pressurized cans of solution.

Claim (Index 11):
A nasal rinse device, comprising:\n a body surrounding a chamber, wherein the body is configured to resist a change in shape when a pressure change occurs within the body; a valve; an actuator having a fluid path that is fluidly connected to the chamber when the valve is in an open position; and a nasal rinse tip configured to redirect a flow of nasal rinse solution exiting the actuator as a spray, wherein the nasal rinse tip defines multiple exit apertures in fluid communication with an elongated interior tip cavity into which the actuator extends, the elongated interior tip cavity being unobstructed along a longitudinal axis of the nasal rinse tip, and wherein the nasal rinse tip defines an internal stop forming a flow obstruction positioned along the longitudinal axis of the nasal rinse tip so as to intercept the flow of nasal rinse solution as the flow of nasal rinse solution moves along the longitudinal axis of the nasal rinse tip and throughout the elongated interior tip cavity and so as to redirect the intercepted flow of nasal rinse solution around a central portion of the flow obstruction and to the multiple exit apertures.
