NeilMed Sinus Rinse Kit – 50 Premixed Packets

Overview

The NeilMed Sinus Rinse Kit is a squeeze-bottle system for rinsing the nasal passages with saline while the head is held upright. The bottle holds 8 oz (240 mL) and has a one-piece rounded cap that rests against the nostril; the user controls the pressure and volume by squeezing. Each premixed packet contains USP-grade sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate (purity 99% or higher) and makes an isotonic, pH-balanced solution with one packet, or a hypertonic one with two or more. This listing is the kit with 50 regular packets, sold on Amazon as a single kit.

The packets contain no preservatives, drugs, iodine, BPA, gluten or latex. NeilMed lists the kit for saline nasal irrigation, moisturisation and daily nasal hygiene and as a rinse before using a nasal corticosteroid spray. The cap has no push-and-pull components, which NeilMed says makes the bottle easy to clean, and NeilMed’s box label says to replace the bottle every three months.

Things to consider

• Never use tap water straight from the tap: NeilMed’s box label says to use distilled, micro-filtered, commercially bottled or previously boiled water, or tap water that has been sterilised.
• Rinse the bottle after each use, let it air dry, and replace it every three months (box label).
• NeilMed states the kit is suitable for use after sinus surgery and during pregnancy and says to consult a physician with any concerns; its box label says not to rinse if the nasal passage is completely blocked.
• Use lukewarm water; do not use the solution hot or cold (box label).
