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 1):
A nasal rinse device, comprising:\n a body surrounding a chamber; 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 has a distal portion and a proximate portion and defines an elongated interior cavity that is unobstructed along a longitudinal axis of the nasal rinse tip and that extends from an opening at the proximate portion toward a plurality of exit apertures at the distal portion, the distal portion defining a 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 cavity and so as to redirect the intercepted flow of nasal rinse solution around the flow obstruction and to the plurality of exit apertures for ejection.
