A patent has been issued for an irrigation and aspiration device and method developed by Aardvark Medical Inc. The device aims to address nasal and sinus congestion, which is a common problem for both children and adults. Current strategies for congestion relief, such as medications and blowing the nose, have limitations and side effects. The device combines saline irrigation and suctioning to provide relief, especially for infants with bronchiolitis. It offers improved control, ease of use, and diagnostic capabilities. The device includes an irrigant reservoir, an aspirant reservoir, and a nozzle with separate irrigation and aspiration lumens. The patent was filed by Peter C. Baker and published online on February 6, 2024. [Extracted from the article] |
