Irrigator is a device that provides effective hygiene of teeth, gums and oral mucosa. Dentists are increasingly recommending that their patients buy an irrigator to clean their mouth, especially those who suffer from tartar, bad breath, gum disease and frequent caries. Using this device, you can significantly improve the condition of the oral cavity and reduce the risks of various diseases. The CS Medica AquaPulsar OS-1 irrigator is a stylish design, ergonomics, excellent water pressure and nozzles, with which you can thoroughly clean the entire oral cavity, including inaccessible places.
Why irrigators are needed
Irrigators perform the following functions:
- Maximize the effectiveness of cleaning the oral cavity without a visit to the dental office.
- They prevent the development of diseases of the oral cavity, such as periodontitis and gingivitis.
- They do not allow the growth and reproduction of bacterial flora, which is the prevention of caries.
- High-quality cleaning of teeth, crowns, prostheses and other dental structures in the oral cavity is performed.
- Gums are massaged, resulting in improved blood circulation and soft tissue regeneration.
- Eliminate bad breath.
- Improve the functionality of the salivary glands.
Important! Dental constructions often become the cause of the development of various pathologies, so the use of an irrigator to clean dentures, crowns, braces and the like is recommended by many dentists.
There are contraindications for using irrigators:
- recent surgery in the oral cavity;
- severe and prolonged bleeding of the gums.
These contraindications are not permanent and absolute, therefore, the use of an irrigator can be discussed with your doctor.
Assortment of CS Medica AquaPulsar
The company produces three models of irrigators that can be used by all family members:
- Stationary - CS Medica AquaPulsar OS-1, which is described in more detail below.
- Portable - AquaPulsar CS-3 Easy. This model allows you to clean the oral cavity not only at home, but also on a trip. The device is powered by a lithium-ion battery, and the induction-type charger allows you to quickly and easily charge it. Irrigator should be charged for 16 hours, after which it can work up to five days (daily two-time cleaning). The device operates in three modes - maximum, moderate and delicate. This means that everyone can choose the best for themselves. The volume of the tank is 130 ml, weight 270 g, the pulsation frequency is 1,200-2,000 pulses per minute.
- Portable - AquaPulsar CS-3 Air +. A feature of this model is a new modern cleaning technology - micro-bubble. Water supplied under pressure is enriched with oxygen. In addition to cleansing the oral cavity, this property of the device provides a bactericidal effect.

Therefore, for those who purchase an irrigator for the whole family, the first stationary model is recommended.

The basis of the device is an integrated electrical system. The fluid container has an additional sector for storing nozzles.

Conclusion and Conclusions
Oral irrigators are relatively new devices. They help to take care of the oral cavity not only by cleaning inaccessible places from food debris, but also by performing many other functions: they prevent the development of diseases and the propagation of pathogenic microflora, clean crowns, prostheses, braces, eliminate unpleasant odors, and improve the functioning of the salivary glands. Devices with proper operation can last several years. The advantage is that the nozzles are interchangeable, that is, when they are worn out, you can just buy new ones. The cost of the device in question is quite low in comparison with analogues.
You must understand that the use of the device does not replace the use of a toothbrush. But it is better to refuse to use dental floss - it will injure the gums more severely, which can provoke inflammation. For safety reasons, turning on the irrigator while taking a shower or bath is prohibited. You also need to carefully monitor the integrity of the cord and prevent it from breaking or kinking. Reviews of the CS Medica AquaPulsar OS-1 irrigator indicate ease of use, therefore, it can be used by children under the supervision of adults, as well as persons with disabilities.
