Caring for your baby's health:

A runny nose is very common for babies and toddlers. One of the major issues is that babies and small children are not able to blow their nose and it will take some time before they learn to breathe through their mouth.

A stuffy nose will hinder breathing, can cause discomfort, and may lead to more serious health problems concerning the ear, nose, throat and the inferior respiratory tracts. Therefore it is very important to keep the nasal cavity clear. The Baby-Vac™ Nasal Aspirator is by far the best alternative for this purpose. Designed by an award-winning Hungarian scientist, the Baby-Vac™ Nasal Aspirator effectively and safely removes mucus from the nasal cavity in an efficient and gentle manner. The Baby-Vac™ has been clinically tested and approved. It is recommended by pediatricians and ENT specialists from around the world. Baby-Vac™ Aspirator is also FDA registered device. Research conducted by the Medical University of Vienna, shows by using Baby-Vac™, the removal of secretion from the nasal cavities will accelerate recovery in case of sickness, improve breathing and help in the prevention of further disease.

Isn't it too drastic to clean a baby's nose with the vacuum cleaner?

The Baby-Vac™ sucks with the help of the vacuum cleaner, but not with its strength. The device self-adjusts, and the vacuum cleaner makes it possible to suck continuously allowing the secretion to be removed from all parts of the nose, without harming your baby.

Isn't it painful to use the Baby-Vac™? Isn't it unpleasant?

Using Baby-Vac™ is neither painful or unpleasant for the baby. If you would like, test it on yourself to get a sense of what your baby will be feeling. The suction of the mucus may feel awkward at first, but a child quickly becomes used to this and is not bothered by the suction.

Can the Baby-Vac™ be used on infants?

Yes. Baby-Vac™ is safe to use on newborns and even premature babies once discharged from the hospital. When a baby cannot breathe through its mouth, it can neither suck nor sleep, so it is particularly important to remove mucus for infants. Remember, it has been specifically designed and clinically proven to be gentle and safe for newborn babies.

How often should the Baby-Vac™ be used?

As often as the child requires his/her nose to be blown.

Are there anyside-effects of the Baby-Vac™?

No, there are no side-effects. Using Baby-Vac™ is similar to blowing your nose.

Is it necessary to use a vacuum cleaner?

Yes. The only way to remove secretions from the nasal cavity is to use continuous suction, and that is best provided by a vacuum cleaner.

Isn't the child afraid of the Baby-Vac™?

It depends on the child. Some are afraid at first, but quickly get used to it. Usually it's the noise of the vacuum cleaner which is frightening. Once children realize the benefits, some even try to use it alone; however it is recommended that parents handle the apparatus.

Is the procedure sterile enough?

The entire Baby-Vac™ doesn't need to be sterile. It's enough to sterilize the evacuator (A) by putting it into boiling water occasionally. Remember to always wash the device with hot soapy water before and after use.
