FEND

Backed by science, FEND is a new hygiene system that cleanses the upper respiratory airways to strengthen the body’s natural ability to help keep the lungs cleaner and healthier. The FEND system includes a patented Mister device that uses a proprietary calcium-enriched saline solution. The FEND Mister device then creates perfectly sized particles that exit the device in a mist that is inhaled through your nose. When inhaled deeply, it helps your upper airways capture and eliminate airborne contaminants before they reach your lungs. In addition, FEND helps reduce the number of airborne contaminants you exhale back into the air. 

Every day, we breathe billions of airborne contaminants in and out. Some of these contaminants enter our upper respiratory airways.

When a contaminant enters our nose or mouth, our upper airways act as a natural air filter for our bodies, keeping us well. This is possible because the upper airways are lined with mucus.

The mucosal lining is the key player in all of this. The mucus naturally captures airborne contaminants and ensures they are safely eliminated (by swallowing them into our digestive system). Sometimes though, the mucosal lining wears down, whether by stress and anxiety, age, pollution, or an over-abundance of airborne contaminants.

FEND helps strengthen our body’s natural ability to cleanse and strengthen the mucous, preventing contaminants from finding their way into our lungs and be exhaled back into the air.

The FEND system includes a patented Mister device that uses a drug-free calcium-enriched saline solution. The FEND Mister device then creates perfectly sized particles that exit the device in a mist that is inhaled through your nose. When inhaled deeply, it helps your upper airways capture and eliminate airborne contaminants before they reach your lungs. In addition, FEND helps reduce the number of airborne contaminants you exhale back into the air. 

The FEND Mister is not a nasal spray. In fact, it’s not inserted into your nose at all.

Unlike nasal sprays, the FEND System is designed to generate a gentle, safe mist that is inhaled into the upper airways vs. inserted and sprayed into the nose.

Similar to how a humidifier works by creating a mist from water, the mist is created from the proprietary calcium-enriched saline solution. And unlike most nasal sprays, it is drug-free.

The reason we use the FEND Mister device is because the mist particles derived from the solution are smaller than what a nasal spray bottle creates. This enables the solution to stick to the mucus lining in your nose, trachea and main bronchi, which are just at the top of our upper airways. Typically, when we breathe, talk, or cough, the airflow is so strong that it breaks the mucus into little droplets, like wind makes sea mist (at the beach). FEND prevents this break up from happening. FEND rejuvenates the mucosal lining to help it capture and eliminate airborne particles.

To get started, you'll have to "prime the FEND" (sort of like when you get a new soap dispenser!). Check out this video for a quick how-to. Then, here's another quick video to show how to actually use and hold the new design properly.

A few additional tips and tricks for using your FEND:

1. Squeeze the top and bottom together firmly and hold for a mist. You may feel a small click when you press the FEND together all the way and you’ll notice this ends the mist. This is normal, but if you press it together too fast you won’t get the full mist.

2. You’ll need to hold the FEND upright for it to work. For best results, make sure your FEND is held upright and is tilted downward slightly. If used upside-down, you may need to re-prime the FEND by pumping it a few times to get a mist again.

3. You may experience what we call a “drool” where a bit of liquid builds up near the nozzle. Simply shake out the “drool” to allow the mist to come out.

We recommend using FEND every 6 hours, up to 3 times a day. Typically, when you wake up, at some point during the afternoon, and before you go to bed.  Regular use of your FEND helps to continually strengthen the mucosal lining, creating a strong filter against small airborne contaminants.

FEND begins to take effect within about 15 seconds of use

We are all bombarded daily with airborne contaminants. The benefit of using FEND regularly is FEND rejuvenates your mucus lining and strengthens your body’s natural ability to keep airborne contaminants from finding their way into your lungs.

Just as washing your hands helps protect you, it also helps you remove any contaminants from your hands so not to spread to others. FEND is a new patented hygiene system for the upper respiratory airways that helps keep your lungs clean, AND reduces airborne contaminants from being exhaled into the air.

We always recommend using FEND on a daily basis, up to 3 times per day regardless of your plans. With each use, FEND lasts up to 6 hours. Some people feel better having FENDed before entering public or crowded settings.

We recommend you use FEND after you take any test that involves a swab in your nose or throat.

No. Once you breathe in the FEND solution, it goes to work immediately, calming and strengthening the mucosal lining of your upper airways to capture and eliminate airborne contaminants - helping you inhale and exhale cleaner air. Sneezing and blowing your nose will not diminish this effect.

FEND can be used indoors or outdoors - in fact, anytime and anywhere. It is light and portable so you can take it with you. When used outdoors, best results are achieved when you are protected from the wind.

Our FEND solution consists of two naturally occurring elements: calcium and sodium. What makes it unique is the proprietary proportion of each in the solution. The solution does NOT contain any drug element and is safe to use. 

For the most efficient use of FEND, we recommend inhaling the mist deeply two times, which lasts up to 6 hours each time. With this in mind, it is best to use FEND three times per day, but it is safe to use more frequently, if needed.

FEND is a safe, proprietary calcium-enriched saline solution, and is drug-free. Safe for anyone to use, kids included. If you have any concerns, please consult your doctor before regular use by your child.

Airborne contaminants can carry many different elements, such as smoke, pollutants or allergens. In all cases, FEND strengthens your body’s natural ability to help keep the upper respiratory airways and ultimately, your lungs cleaner and healthier.  FEND is a drug-free, safe to use upper respiratory airways hygiene system. However, if you have any specific concerns based on your personal situation, we recommend you consult your doctor before regular use.

FEND is a drug-free, safe to use upper respiratory airways hygiene system. With all medical conditions, we recommend consulting your doctor before regular use.

When the mist from the FEND device is properly inhaled (two times, deeply), we often hear people say they feel their nose is a little moist, or there may be a little tingle inside their nose. FEND is drug free and safe. However, if you have any symptoms that persist or seem out of the ordinary, we always recommend consulting with your doctor if you have any concerns.

Tip the Mister and observe the cloud. This is created by a metal mesh at the top. You may notice a green light at the bottom indicating operation. FEND Mister will run for 10 seconds before it stops automatically. This is a power saving feature. Tilt again to restart.

Over time, the calcium-enriched saline solution can build up on the mesh inside the Mister device. The following will clean and reset your device between bottles of solution and help care for your FEND Mister. 

1. Detach the glass vial from the bottom of the Mister and fill it half-way with fresh water

2. Heat the half-full glass vial in a microwave for 10 seconds (Never put the Mister into the microwave). Make sure the vial is a comfortable temperature before handling

3. Re-attach the vial, then tip the Mister to run the device. You should see a full mist cloud come from the device. If not, repeat the previous steps

4. Fill with fresh FEND solution and enjoy!

DO NOT leave the FEND Mister in the hot sun.

When traveling, it is recommended to remove batteries and detach the vial, then close the vial with the provided cap. 

Tilt the Mister and check that there is a green light underneath. If there is no green light, check to make sure that the top is securely fastened. It is possible to attach the lid and leave a gap.  Make sure that the lid is engaged at three points, and that it is fully tightened.

If the top is secure and there is no green light, you may need to replace the batteries Make sure battery polarity (+/-) is correct.

If there is a green light with fresh batteries, your mesh may be clogged. This can happen from the FEND solution build up on the mesh. The process below will help to unclog and keep your device clean between bottles of solution:

Use this convenient approach: 

1. Detach the glass vial from the bottom of the Mister and fill it half-way with fresh water

2. Heat the half-full glass vial in a microwave for 10 seconds (Never put the Mister into the microwave). Make sure the vial is a comfortable temperature before handling

3. Re-attach the vial and tip the Mister to run the device. You should see a full mist cloud come from the device. If not, repeat the previous steps

4. Fill with fresh FEND solution and enjoy!
