Manual Nasal Aspirator (Bulb Type)
The manual bulb-type nasal aspirator is a non-powered suction device for clearing nasal secretions from infants and young children. It uses a compressible bulb body and a tapered nasal tip to create negative pressure when released, drawing mucus from the nares into the bulb chamber.
Product Description
Key Features and Capabilities
- Soft pink compressible bulb body for hand-operated suction control.
- Clear tapered tip with a rounded atraumatic end for gentle nasal insertion.
- One-piece, compact construction that supports repeated manual use and simple cleaning.

Clinical Applications
The aspirator supports neonatal care, pediatric care, home healthcare, and ENT practice for relief of nasal congestion. It is used for infants and young children with upper respiratory infection, allergic rhinitis, or environmental irritant exposure. The device also supports routine secretion clearance in community health settings and newborn care environments.
Technical Specifications and Highlights
The aspirator uses a hollow bulb body with a tapered tip and no electrical power source. Its compact hand-held form supports portable use in neonatal units, pediatric wards, outpatient clinics, and home environments.

| Detailed Specs | The manual bulb-type nasal aspirator is a simple, non-powered suction device designed to clear nasal secretions from the nares of neonates, infants, and young children who have not yet developed the ability to blow their nose independently. The device consists of a hollow, compressible bulb—manufactured from medical-grade natural rubber or silicone—attached to a smooth, tapered nasal tip with a rounded, atraumatic end that prevents mucosal injury during insertion. The caregiver compresses the bulb to expel air, gently introduces the tip into the infant's nostril, and slowly releases the bulb to generate controlled negative pressure that aspirates accumulated mucus into the bulb cavity. The aspirated secretions are expelled by compressing the bulb into a tissue or waste container, and the device is cleaned with warm soapy water between uses. The bulb aspirator is widely used in pediatric wards, neonatal intensive care units, ENT outpatient practices, and home environments for the symptomatic relief of nasal congestion associated with upper respiratory infections, allergic rhinitis, and environmental irritant exposure. |
