Our company supports April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams. This press release is the dream of 'StandardBrush Inc.'.
In the medical field, while nasal care is fundamental, a method that satisfies safety, comfort, and sustainability has not been established.
Conventional treatments with cotton swabs or gauze involve risks of mucosal damage and bleeding, as well as patient discomfort and psychological burden on nurses.
This product addresses this issue by focusing on the unmet area of the 'nasal vestibule' (the entrance to the nasal cavity).
The nasal vestibule is where most inhaled foreign substances are captured and accumulate, yet it has not been sufficiently approached as part of daily care.
This product adopts an approach of 'gently washing off' rather than scraping, using a high-density, ultra-fine brush moistened with water.
This simultaneously achieves non-invasive, highly safe care, a comfortable user experience with high patient acceptance, and efficiency that can be performed in a short time.
This care is a minimally invasive approach to the epithelial level (nasal vestibule), not deep into the mucous membranes, making it easy to introduce as daily care and excellent for sustainability.
The quality of nasal breathing directly affects overall physical condition and QOL.
This product aims to redefine the basic act of 'keeping the nose clean' and establish a new standard of care in the medical field.
The nasal vestibule is said to have the function of capturing and filtering about 80% of invading foreign substances. Nasal discharge contains many bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, which also exist as a certain percentage (about 10-40%) of the normal flora in the nasal cavity. Furthermore, the daily act of 'touching the nose' makes it a site prone to becoming a starting point for local inflammation and infection. If a virus were to enter here, its effects could not be ignored. In other words, the nasal vestibule is a critical area that can become the 'entrance' to many disease risks.
Caring for this area gently and regularly not only maintains local cleanliness but also promotes awareness of nasal breathing, which may in turn contribute to improving the overall physical condition, including the reduction of symptoms such as coughs and phlegm.
