Are nasal Spray bottles or Pressurized Spray Cans considered a nasal wash, nasal rinse or nasal lavage system?
There are various spray products and in our opinion, they are only moisturizers and cannot be considered as nasal wash systems by any means. It is not possible to get a sufficient volume lavage using a spray system. You can also check with your doctor. For a true nasal lavage, wash or douche, one needs volume. With a few seconds squeeze on NeilMed’s SINUS RINSE bottle, you get at least 15 mL (1/2 oz.) to 30 mL (1 oz.) or even a higher volume of rinse. With a few seconds spray from the pressurized cans or few sequential squeezes on spray bottles, you may get a minuscule volume of 0.1 mL to 5 mL at the most. Certainly, it will have a good moisturizing effect, but will not wash out the excessive mucus or allergens. They definitely have a place for applying moisture to the sinuses, but will not do the required nasal hygiene or cleansing NeilMed’s SINUS RINSE will provide.
