| 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. |
