Thera Care Saline Nasal Spray is a 1.5-ounce bottle containing a 0.9% sodium chloride solution. It uses a medical-grade High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) delivery system with a conical actuator nozzle designed for wide-stream dispersion. The unit includes a dual-valve backflow prevention mechanism, which is a functional feature that helps maintain the sterility of the remaining solution after the bottle has been opened and used.
Specifications indicate the bottle wall is rated for 0.5 bar of internal pressure, ensuring that it can withstand the rapid manual compression required to create a spray. However, the practical reality of this nozzle design is that it produces a higher flow rate than "micro-mist" versions. To avoid an overwhelming sensation for a child, it is helpful to use "pulse-squeezing"—short, quick bursts—rather than one long, sustained squeeze.
The rigid plastic tip is a basic, durable design that lacks the soft-touch coating of some premium brands, but it includes an integrated safety seal for the initial purchase. This spray is a cost-efficient option for high-volume use in households where multiple members may need saline relief. It is an isotonic solution, meaning it is balanced to minimize irritation of the nasal membranes.
- 1.5-ounce size is portable and fits easily into standard first-aid kits.
- Dual-valve system helps prevent contamination from entering the bottle.
- 0.9% saline concentration is balanced for comfortable daily use.
For a gentler, more atomized spray specifically for infants, the NoseFrida Saline Mist offers a pressurized delivery system.
To keep your medicine cabinet organized, consider using adjustable shelf risers so you can see smaller bottles of saline behind larger items.
