Is it safe to use a vacuum cleaner to clean a baby's nose?

Yes, it's completely safe. Baby Vac works when connected to a household vacuum cleaner, but it doesn't use its full power . Thanks to its patented design, the device automatically regulates suction , maintaining a gentle, constant level—ideal for removing secretions without damaging the delicate nasal mucosa. By allowing continuous cleaning, it helps effectively clear the entire nasal cavity.

Is using Baby Vac painful or uncomfortable for the child?

No, Baby Vac is painless . While some children may feel uncomfortable at first when their nose is touched, most quickly adjust. It's important to consider that a buildup of secretions can lead to more serious discomfort, such as ear infections or breathing difficulties. Using Baby Vac promptly helps prevent these complications.

Can I use Baby Vac on newborn babies?

Yes, it's completely suitable for newborns . In fact, it's especially useful at this stage, as babies can't blow their noses on their own and tend to breathe exclusively through their nose.
