ABSTRACT:
A duel system for flushing and vacuuming the sinuses comprising a main plate (1) having two voids (42 and 43) with collars (44 and 45) extending below. The voids hold two containers (25 and 26) with lids (9 and 10). Wing clips (2) attached to the main plate (1) holds adjuster plate (5) in recess (32) having mortise (33) within. Adjuster plate (5) accepts suction tube (39) and saline tube (40), with nose plugs (7E and 7F) on their ends. Wing clips (2) when rotated, allows adjuster plate (5) to be picked up and rotated, reversing tubes (39 and 40) and nose plugs (7E and 7F). Tubes (38, 39, 40 and 41) are secured in slots (27, 28, 29 and 30). Air compressor (24) creates pressure in pressure container (26) through pressure tube (41). The pressure pushes saline through saline tube (40) that passes up through lid (10), mortise (33), hole (6) in adjuster plate (5), and has nose plug (7F) on the end. Saline passes through nose plug (7F), up one nostril through the sinuses and down the other nostril. Saline enters nose plug (7E) on the end of suction tube (39) which passes down through hole (6) in adjuster plate (5), mortise (33), and through vacuum lid (9). Saline is drawn through nose plug (7E), suction tube (39), and into vacuum container (25). Congestion is also drawn along with the saline. The vacuum is initiated when valve (12) is covered. Vacuum lid (9) is connected to vacuum attachment (21) with vacuum tube (38). Vacuum attachment (21) controls the amount of suction. Tube (38) communicates with a conventional vacuum cleaner hose (34), or vacuum pump (8). The systems can be used separately or together.
