Little Sucker oral and nasal suction device

This nasal suction device helps clear running noses and mucus from our sinuses. As an ALS patient with a tracheostomy,, I can’t blow my nose anymore. This is a great help!

Description

Since Steve’s tracheostomy, he can no longer blow his nose. He has dealt with seasonal allergies his entire life, so this is a problem. We tried using a mouth yankauer, but it was too big for Steve’s nose even though Steve has a big nose. Not to mention it was a little gross.

Our respiratory therapist brought us one of these to try. They work great to clean out Steve’s sinuses. We have not sucked his brains out, yet. Our respiratory therapist orders them for us but Sheila found similar ones online. it connects to the tubing of our suction machine and clears his sinuses and helps with drainage that causes coughing.
