In this article, we will consider the AquaPulsar OS-1 oral irrigator.
The use of this device is a good way to prevent a variety of dental pathologies and diseases of the throat. This device can provide high-quality and complete oral hygiene, so dentists often recommend that patients use this useful device.
General characteristics and description
Everyone wants their teeth to be healthy. However, just cleaning them is not enough. Mouth sanitation is ideal, but visiting a dentist every time can be problematic. Manufacturers have created an excellent device, which is popularly called a personal dentist. This is an irrigator.
Processing the oral cavity with this device extends the life of dental products, perfectly cleans areas under crowns. Indeed, if an infection or food particles gets in, the root of the tooth can become inflamed.
Doctors say that the irrigator:
- improves the microflora of the mouth;
- struggling with an unpleasant odor, especially in a smoker;
- cleans teeth in people with their non-standard structure;
- provides sanitation of gingival pockets and interdental spaces;
- promotes healing of the mucosa and better survival of the implants (however, it is better to use it only some time after installation).
The AquaPulsar OS-1 irrigator is intended for comprehensive care of teeth and gums, as well as for the entire oral cavity. Its action is based on the supply of a stream of liquid under pressure, with which you can clean all hard-to-reach places, including the side walls and cervical areas of the teeth that cannot be reached with a toothbrush, without damage to the enamel and soft tissues.
Directly to the teeth, mucous membranes fit tightly at a certain angle. This causes the formation of gingival pockets, which are shallow, narrow folds. Their cleaning in the usual way is almost impossible, but it is in these areas that the bulk of pathogens develop. You can remove them only with the help of an irrigator. This unit is designed for use by the whole family.
Four detachable nozzles equipped with special rings that have distinctive elements - different colors are included with the irrigator.
If it is assumed that more people will use the irrigator, then nozzles can be purchased additionally. In addition to the initial cleansing effect, this device simultaneously massages the gums, which helps to strengthen the microcirculation processes in the gingival tissues, which is necessary for the prevention of periodontal pathologies.
The operating mode of this device
In addition to the ability to adjust the strength of the fluid flow, the AquaPulsar OS-1 irrigator also allows you to choose an operating mode, of which there are only two:
- “Spray” mode, with the help of which direct cleaning of the oral cavity is performed, as well as massage of soft tissues and mucous membranes.
- The "Jet" mode, in which the water flow, in addition to the precise direction, can be supplied with a pulsation. This mode is used in order to thoroughly clean the most inaccessible and contaminated places - cervical areas, gingival pockets, spaces between teeth, etc.
What other features does the AquaPulsar OS-1 irrigator have?
Applicable fluids
In addition to ordinary clean water, various solutions with preventive and medical effects can be poured into the container of the irrigator. They can be a variety of balms, rinses, liquids for irrigators, well-filtered herbal infusions, chlorhexidine. The effect of their use is significantly enhanced precisely when using an irrigator, since liquid can enter all hard-to-reach areas. With a normal rinse, this is not possible.
Indications
Despite the rather high universality of this medical device, there are specific indications and limitations for its use.
The following are indications for the use of the AquaPulsar OS-1 irrigator:
- treatment and prevention of periodontal pathologies;
- hygiene of orthodontic and other devices - prostheses, braces, crowns and others;
- massage of gums and mucous membranes.
Contraindications

- a short period after surgery in the oral cavity;
- incessant bleeding of the gums, presumably caused by the use of this device.
In all situations not mentioned in the lists of indications and contraindications, the AquaPulsar OS-1 irrigator is considered an excellent device for oral hygiene.
Design Features
This device belongs to the category of stationary and receives power from the electrical network. This means that there is no need to constantly charge the battery.
The basis of the hygienic apparatus is a special electronic unit in which a fluid reservoir is fixed. It has a double multifunctional lid, which has a built-in compartment with cells designed to store nozzles. There are only five cells, therefore, nozzles of five family members can be stored and used simultaneously. In the central zone of the main unit is a hole that is designed for the handle of the irrigator. A hose leaves the bottom of the handle, with which fluid is supplied. In the upper section there is a button for removing the nozzle. On the case of the irrigator, in the center, there is another button with which you can turn off or turn on the water supply. On the front area, on both sides of the cell for the handle, two handles are placed. The right one is used to turn off the power, and the left one is used to adjust the power of the liquid stream.
She has two boundary positions, but there are no intermediate ones: to change the power of the fluid flow, it is necessary to smoothly turn the handle. The lowest power value is when the regulator is in the left-most position. The rotation is made to the right, clockwise. The main distinctive design feature of this irrigator model is that in the process of its application it is possible not only to clean the oral cavity in two modes, but also to quickly change them. The switch for these modes is the color ring on the removable nozzle. To change modes, you just need to crank it.
