LinAqua forte (Otolaryngological product) Instructions for Use
Therapeutic Category
Medical device for moisturizing, cleansing, and protecting the nasal mucosa
Properties
Hypertonic seawater solution. The seawater included in the solution contains ions Cl–, Na+, SO42-, Mg2+, Ca2+, K+, HCO3–, Br–, as well as trace elements, including zinc, selenium, iodine. The hypertonic seawater solution has an increased sodium chloride (NaCl) content of 17-23 g/l.
It helps reduce swelling of the nasal mucosa by removing excess fluid from the intercellular space due to the difference in osmotic pressure.
Trace elements of the Adriatic Sea water improve the function of the ciliated epithelium, exerting a stimulating, restorative, cleansing, anti-inflammatory effect on the nasal mucosa, and increase its resistance to the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms.
Calcium and magnesium ions stimulate the movement of ciliated cells of the mucosa, contributing to the removal of microorganisms and foreign particles from the nasal cavity, and normalize the rheological properties of mucus.
Iodine, sodium ions, and chloride ions have an antiseptic effect and also activate the production of protective mucus.
Zinc and selenium ions stimulate the local immunity of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses.
Calcium ions have an anti-allergic effect.
Carbonates, sulfates, and chlorides normalize the production of nasal mucus.
Scope of Application
Relief of nasal congestion of various origins and facilitation of nasal breathing in inflammatory diseases of the nose, paranasal sinuses, and nasopharynx, including those of allergic nature: acute and chronic rhinitis; acute and chronic sinusitis; nasopharyngitis; allergic rhinitis; adenoiditis.
