Sinusitis

purpose of pulsatile warm saline nasal washing

• washes out the invading pathogens (bacteria, virus or fungus) and inflammatory mediators — so your natural immune system can overcome the residual invading pathogens successfully.
• helps nasal mucociliary clearance to remove invading pathogens
• removes biofilms to improve the medical treatment of rhino-sinusitis
• antibiotics can not effectively penetrate and eradicate the pathogenic bacteria in the biofilms
• biofilms play a very important role for medical failure of chronic rhino-sinusitis
• helps you breathe easier, because salt water can shrink swollen nasal mucosa
• reduces the use of medications to avoid probable side effects
• helps wound healing and prevents wound infection after nasal and/or sinus operations
• highly recommended by ENT specialists as best adjunctive therapy with medication or surgery for sinusitis

When to use pulsatile warm saline nasal irrigation

• you can use pulsatile warm saline nasal irrigation with or without medication ( please consult your doctor )
• you can use pulsatile warm saline nasal irrigation before and after sinus surgery to have better result

• topical antibiotic irrigation can provide higher antibiotic concentration locally — so better therapeutic result
• topical antibiotic irrigation has much lower systemic antibiotic concentration — so much lower systemic side effects
• topical antibiotic irrigation is a new therapeutic method developed in recent years, so only sinus professionals are familiar with it
• nasal irrigator is a vey important tool for the success of topical antibiotic irrigation, Sanvic pulsatile nasal irrigator have been recommended by ENT specialists for several years in hundreds of sinusitis patients with success
