SinuPulse Nasal Sinus Irrigation System

Post by Uncle_Bob » Mon Nov 30, 2009 4:53 pm

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with a Nasal Sinus Irrigation System?

I'm looking into buying this one as a drug free solution for nasal congestion

It seems to have pretty good reviews

Looks similar to the one I use http://www.hydromedonline.com/hp.html?r ... 5QodWw1lmw. I like the Grossan gadget, had the earlier nasal adapters for my WaterPik yrs ago. Might scan Grossan's site for info, he's an ENT, with an interest in diving and working with firefighter's who often have horrible ongoing probs from smoke, so he's done his homework on the biochemistry and biology. Might help you evaluate the one on Amazon.

Hey Bob, let me know how it holds up. While the reviews for the machine's efficacy are good, a lot of people state it stops working after a while and leaks. Have you noticed any leaking from it?

I have the Grossan and I love it. It has held up great for me so far no signs of wear or problems. Mine is just over a year old. It has helped me greatly.

No leaks yet. The build quality of this machine does not appear to be great. I've broken the lid tiny plastic hinge off one side of the lid already.

Overall I like using it as it seems like a good hygiene thing to do.

It has not cured my sinus congestion, neither has the over the counter drugs.

I've got an appointment at the ENT doctors later today
