Bulb Syringe Aspirator

So relieved to find this product. Our aspirator the hospital gave us split at the seam and no longer worked, and we couldn't find one that worked as well anywhere else. Looked in every store and pharmacy in the area, and online usually just the same is sold as in stores. This one has amazing suction and has been a total lifesaver. It's actually even slightly better than the one we had from the hospital, I think because the bulb is a little bigger it has more suction. Can't say enough good things about it, especially in light of how horrible the ones in stores are. I am so glad we ordered 2 one for the diaper bag and one for home.

this is exactly the same as the aspirator I got in the hospital when my son was born--it works better than any other I've been able to find in stores, and it comes in an individual sterile package, just like hospitals have.

I am editing this review about a year after the original review which follows the "Original Review" header below.

I use this syringe several times a day to spray (not as a suctioning mechanism), and the two other brands of syringe I had before this one both came apart at the seam within a couple of months. So I was assuming that that's the way it was going to go. But the first instance of this brand of syringe that I have been using lasted over a year. But based on this single bit of anecdotal evidence I'll keep buying this brand unless things change radically.

Also, it seems that my original conjecture, that this syringe might not separate as quickly as the other brands because it has a slightly larger aperture, may have been correct.

Original Comments:

There is more than one version of this type of bulb syringe on Amazon. They all look pretty much the same, so one problem is that, at least on the ones I've seen, there is no identification code or text on the syringe itself that would allow you to differentiate between versions. This particular one has a 2 oz. capacity (although I don't see it documented anywhere on the website or it's links). Also, this syringe is sterile, so it comes in a plastic enclosure which documents the manufacturer as AMSINO and the product name as AMSure.

Generally, when they mention it, all the reviewers agree that it was exactly, or almost exactly, like the one they were given at the hospital. But they sometimes complain that the suction capability of the syringe is not the same as the one they had seen before. And they complain that the syringe separates along the "equator" seam between the top part and the bottom part where the two are fused together.

First, all the versions are going to separate eventually. I don't know which versions are better fused but I suspect that the warmer the liquid that the syringe is exposed to, the faster it will separate. The glop they use to make the fusion isn't documented of course, so it's a crap shoot.

On the issue of suction power here is my take: One important difference between versions is the size of the opening at the tip. That size is not documented in the specs either. This one has a larger opening than others I've seen and that causes the suction strength (or the spray strength if that's how it's being used) to be lower than that on versions with smaller apertures. Also, if you are spraying, the smaller aperture on other versions will cause you to have to squeeze harder to get the liquid out, and that pressure could well result in the seam separating faster in those other versions.

This is the same bulb we got from the hospital when my daughter was born. I like it simply because it's very easy to squeeze. We've had other aspirators that are simply difficult to press, making sucking boogers out of your fussy child's tiny nose more of a chore than it already is. Hard to write a raving review for a manual aspirator, but this is the best one we've used.

Love this aspirator. It's the kind that most hospitals use. It's the most flexible material I've seen so it works like a dream. Loved the price, too. The only other store that sells it is Babies R usbut it's a little but more money to buy it. Would recommend this to ANYONEthe best booger sucker out there.
