RhinoPinch Nasal Clips, Pack of 5

A series of nosebleeds swiftly taught me that the chief problem with them is that you don't have enough hands to cope. One to pinch your nose, one to staunch the blood – how do you phone for help, find something warm to wear, tidy up a bit? The answer is these wonderful gadgets. In fact they stop the flow so efficiently that you don't even need the hand for the tissues. I have used a clip several times, and I haven't had problems with the ratchets. I have even found that I am getting fewer nosebleeds, but maybe that's just luck.

I expected these nose clips to be packaged in some sort of named box with instructions. Instead they were in 5 individual plastic envelopes within the outer box. Looked like they had been packaged in someone’s back room & at virtually £2 each I expected more. IVe not tried them yet but hope they are better quality than they are packaged.

Worked very well

2021-04-02 Another purchase, another note. I saved c£50 in 2020 by re-using the clamps, AKA ignoring the instructions. I found that immersing the foam pads in warm vaseline for a few hours resulted in some absorption thereof. Using the treated clamps for their intended purpose greatly reduced their absorption of blood and the tendency of the foam to assume the properties of a brick. I would not be surprised to learn that other sustances have superior properties to that of Vaseline. I used Baby Powder to remove superfluous Vaseline and stop the clamp slipping. HTH. 2020-05-13 Original title with ** "No confidence in this device as sold." In 2003 I drove 20 miles to hospital, in the middle of the night, with my latest, most severe, nosebleed "controlled" by a large bulldog clip with the legs curved to spread the load, and some foam rubber. "I have not seen that before", said the night doctor. He was interested, in the clamp, not the patient, he thought there was money to be made. I suggested the real device needed a turnbuckle. MYAID Not tested under emergency conditions. Not trusted to work under emergency conditions. One size fits all? I do not believe it. Pawl slipped over ratchet during my tests, apparently built to a price, not a standard. I achieved more pressure and retention with a rubber band: but not controllable pressure. My opinion is still that a turnbuckle is the solution. 2020-06-14 New *** review after actually using the item. Blood pressure 118-71 15 minutes before epistaxis. Anterior blood flow, left nostril only [normal for me] + posterior blood flow. #1 Fitting the device in the location shown in the accompanying leaflet AND the pressure I felt required, seemed mutually exclusive. #2 Controlled pressure modification after installation impossible. #3 Device remained in position but never felt secure. #4 Posterior blood flow stopped c90 minutes after device fitted. #5 .1 Myaid device removed c120 minutes after fitting. .2 Minor blood flow from nostril then re-commenced for c10 minutes. I suspect time, rather than the device, solved the issue. #6 If I was designed a clamp for myself now I would stabilise its position by support over the ears and the rear of the skull and the top of the skull and below the chin. I would still use a turnbuckle. This would not be a low cost device. Apologies for the lack of the correct anatomical terminology. #7 I washed my clamp in warm saline solution with 5% Dettol. Air dried, this did not remove all the blood from the foam pads. Device could be re-used. HTH.

ALWAYS CARRY THEM WITH ME AND HAVE GIVEN THEM OUT TO FRIENDS WHO SUFFER NOSEBLEEDS WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. HELPFUL.

Received day later

These have very little grip. Not fit for purpose.

5 clips came in single ziploc bags. Otherwise with No instructions. No sealed packaging And no box. Would expect that much at least as the advertising does show a box with NHS branding on it . Otherwise a bit fiddly to use and took a little while to get in place but did the job ultimately.

Great product and very fast service

They were more comfortable than what we had

Sehr zufrieden!

Je suis très satisfait du produit

These are so much better than the nose clips with the round foam pads. The clips with the round foam pads apply so much pressure that they can be uncomfortable. These clips are adjustable for just the right pressure to stop the bleeding. In addition, they are designed with nasal anatomy in mind to apply pressure to the entire length of the nasal septum. Fitting them properly is a no-brainer.
