Special Pack of 5 SYRINGE EAR CARA 21 3 oz

For about 4 years, I have been using a 3 oz syringe to irrigate my nasal passages. The irrigation has cut down considerably on sinus infections, but none of the syringes lasted more than a month or two, sometimes even less. Without exception, the bulb separated at the seam where the upper and lower half were joined. This was regardless of whether I paid $2 or $6 each, they all had the seam and they all separated after what I thought was much too short a period of use.

I ordered the Cara syringe because the product photo seemed to indicate there was no seam. I have been fooled by product photos before, but this time the syringe matches the photo. There is no seam Furthermore, the syringe has a 2 year warranty, which suggests the manufacturer expects it to last.

The confidence is justified. Or at least this syringe is far better than all those tried previously. As of this writing I have been using the syringe daily for 6 months and it shows no sign of weakness. I expect it to continue working for many more months.

Now my problem is what to do about all the likely unneeded syringes. Because I had experienced so much trouble previously, I ordered 6 of these syringes rather than one or two because I wanted to be prepared. Previously when ordering syringes I had order 4, 5, or 6 so it would not be necessary to order every month. But this time it appears that those 6 are likely to get me through a number of years.

The syringe is labeled as an ear syringe and has a guard on the nozzle to prevent it from being inserted too far in the ear, but it also works as a nasal syringe. I find that the spout goes into the nose as far as the other syringes by pressing the guard gently against the nose.

The spout diameter is not as large as those on the previous syringes, probably to prevent too much pressure on the ear drum. But this is making it a more effective syringe for my purposes. With the previous syringes, the liquid injected into a nasal passage either drained out of the same nostril or ended up in my mouth. However, with this syringe, very little is draining out of the nostril; most is going into the mouth or passing through to the other nostril. I am sure I am getting a better nasal irrigation with this syringe than with the others.

The bulb of this syringe is a bit softer than those on the previous products, but it sucks up more liquid than they did. And this bulb is more consistent than the others with respect a getting a good quantity of liquid each time.

I highly recommend this syringe.
