A redesigned, battery-powered nasal irrigator to address usability and packaging issues.
In response we created the world's only handheld saline nasal irrigation device with gentle powered suction that relieves allergies, congestion, snoring, and more. With over one million satisfied customers, it's a growing success story.
Naväge approached Nottingham Spirk to create a second-generation version of their battery-operated nasal irrigator, designed for users suffering from sinus infections, allergies, and similar ailments.
The original device, while effective, presented significant challenges:
-
It required assembly for each use.
-
It leaked frequently.
-
It lacked proper flow control.
-
Its packaging was bulky and costly to produce.

Our innovation team developed a streamlined solution.
We replaced the cumbersome bottles with compact, concentrated saline pods that snap easily into place, simplifying use, eliminating leaks, and reducing packaging size.

One unexpected breakthrough delighted Naväge executives.
The original model required users to detach, rotate, and reattach the nasal dock to alternate nostrils (as the saline flows into one nostril and out the other). This process was considered an unfixable inconvenience. However, we developed a rotating dock base that turns effortlessly and clicks securely into position, eliminating the need for reassembly. Additional improvements included:
- Valves for precise flow control.
- Enhanced aesthetics and ergonomics of the device.
- A newly engineered pump, replacing the third-party component used in the original.
The redesigned Naväge nasal care system has received overwhelmingly positive consumer feedback. The Starter Bundle, which includes the Naväge Nose Cleaner, 18 SaltPods, standard nose pillows, and batteries, boasts over 31,000 ratings on Amazon with an impressive 4.4 out of 5 stars.
This second-generation innovation has transformed Naväge into a standout consumer health product, setting a new standard in nasal irrigation technology.
