Nasal aspirators, also known as nasal mucus removers or nasal septisers, are available in four different versions. All work according to the same principle. A special grommet is held under the nose, or a little bit inserted into the nose and the nasal secretion is sucked by means of a vacuum. The differences lie in how the vacuum is created. There are devices with a manual Ball Pump, nasal Aspirator in which the vacuum is created with the mouth via a hose. In addition, devices are also available in which a battery-powered pump provides the suction power and those to a normal vacuum cleanerbe connected.

Nasal aspirators, which are connected to a normal vacuum cleaner, are so-called nasal aspirators. Important in these nasal aspirators is that the suction of the secretion is not done by the vacuum cleaner, but with its support. The devices reduce independent of the setting on the vacuum cleaner, the suction force on a normal nose brushing corresponding force.

A rubber ball filled with air is first brought together to suck the nasal mucus. Then the handle is loosened more or less quickly, causing the air to flow back into the ball and suck the secretion out of the nose. These nasal aspirators are particularly suitable for easily flowing secretions and the suction power is easy to dose.
