20150157773 | IRRIGATION AND ASPIRATION DEVICE AND METHOD - An irrigation and aspiration system is disclosed. The system can be configured to aspirate and irrigate alone, sequentially or concurrently. The system can be configured to aspirate and irrigate the nasal cavity. The system can be manually controlled. The system can have removable and easily cleanable reservoirs for aspirant and irrigant. | 06-11-2015 |
20140378342 | IRRIGATION AND ASPIRATION DEVICE AND METHOD - Irrigation and/or aspiration devices and methods may be configured to aspirate and irrigate alone, sequentially, or concurrently. The devices and methods may provide a base with a removable head, and adapted for partial or complete separation of the irrigation and aspiration functions. The devices and methods can be configured to aspirate and/or irrigate the nasal and sinus cavities. The devices and methods may be manually and/or automatically controlled. The devices and methods may include removable, and/or replaceable, and/or refillable, and easily cleanable reservoirs for aspirant and irrigant. The device head and/or aspirant reservoir may comprise a diagnostic device, i.e., test device and/or container after use of the devices and methods. | 12-25-2014 |
20110282268 | Methods and Systems for Delivery of Fluids and Aerosols to Tissue Surfaces, Cavities and Obstructed Passages such as Intranasal Ostia - Methods and systems for delivering fluids, aerosols, and/or acoustic energy to target sites on tissue surfaces and within body cavities or lumens, obstructions or undesired materials associated with body cavities and tissue surfaces and, particularly, target sites on tissue surfaces or at obstructions within natural orifices, such as ear, nose and throat passages and, particularly, nasal passages and cavities, are provided. In one aspect, methods and systems for delivering fluids and/or aerosols to target sites such as nasal passages at generally high frequency (e.g., sonic and ultrasound) pulsation rates and at multiple, alternating pulsation rates are provided. | 11-17-2011 |
20110282251 | Methods and Systems for Delivery of Acoustic Energy to Tissue Surfaces, Cavities and Obstructed Passages such as Intranasal Ostia - Methods and systems for delivering fluids, aerosols, and/or acoustic energy to target sites on tissue surfaces and within body cavities or lumens, obstructions or undesired materials associated with body cavities and tissue surfaces and, particularly, target sites on tissue surfaces or at obstructions within natural orifices, such as ear, nose and throat passages and, particularly, nasal passages and cavities, are provided. Delivery of acoustic energy may be accomplished using a flexible, expandable member adapted to be expanded at a target site using an acoustically transmissive material for delivery of acoustic energy to tissue surfaces in irregularly configured tissue cavities and passageways. | 11-17-2011 |
