In addition to removing debris, and disrupting bacterial biofilms so as to make these bacteria more susceptible to various cleansing agents, the devices may be configured to deliver an antiseptic agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, or a fragrance to the body cavity surfaces, or deliver UV light to sanitize the surfaces. Methods for cleansing the surfaces of body cavities such as the nasal passages and vaginal cavity are also described herein. Systems including one or more cleansing devices and one or more cleansing formulations are further described.

  • Patent number: 11756452
    Abstract: Described herein are anatomical models for medical training, surgical planning, or patient demonstration. The anatomical models include a replica of a target body part that may be altered, unfinished, or deformed so that an anatomical component may be attached thereto to complete the replica and provide visual training with respect to symmetry and other aspects of medical or surgical procedures. For example, the anatomical models may be altered, unfinished, or deformed to simulate a post-surgical deformity. Systems and methods including the anatomical models are also described herein.
