Abstract
A system for irrigating and cleaning nasal cavities is provided. In some embodiments, the system includes a stand configured to hold an aqueous solution container. A primary incoming tube leading to a face mask device configured to be worn by a user. In one embodiment, the solution is gravity fed directed through the primary incoming tube into at least one port of the face mask device. A drain line leads from the face mask device to a collection container.
Claims9
A face mask device for irrigating and cleaning nasal cavities of a user, the face mask comprising:
- an incoming supply port configured to receive an incoming supply tube configured to flow aqueous solution through the incoming supply port;
- a pair of supply tubes connected to the incoming supply port;
- a pair of holding baskets, wherein the pair of supply tubes feed into the pair of holding baskets, wherein the pair of holding baskets are configured to be positioned into the user's nostrils;
- a pair of drain tubes connected to the pair of holding baskets, wherein the pair of drain tubes lead to a drain line;
- a sleeve positioned at a bottom portion of the face mask, such that the pair of drain tubes pass through the sleeve to the drain line and the sleeve includes at least one passageway enabling excretions evacuation coming out from the user's mouth to be directed towards and into the drain line;
- a three way valve positioned to control the flow through the incoming supply port and to direct the flow to a supply tube of the pair of supply tubes such that flow of aqueous solution is enabled to be directed to a desired nostril of the user's nostrils such that the three way valve is operable to alternate the flow of aqueous solution between the user's nostrils;
- wherein each holding basket is configured to bring in the aqueous solution into a nasal cavity of the user's nostrils while letting out excretion flow to the pair of drain tubes from each holding basket, and
- the face mask configured for use by a user that is positioned in a lying down supine position.
