The RhinoPinch® Nasal Clip is a cushioned, adjustable plastic clip designed to apply gentle pressure just below the bridge of the nose to help stop bleeding during an anterior nosebleed (epistaxis). Lightweight, comfortable, and easy to use, it removes the need for the person to hold their nose manually.
The RhinoPinch® Nasal Clip is a lightweight, cushioned device designed to control nosebleeds quickly and comfortably. Developed in partnership with NHS Scotland, this adjustable plastic clip applies gentle pressure just below the bridge of the nose—where most nosebleeds occur—to help stop bleeding without the need for manual pressure.
Made from soft, flexible, latex-free material, the RhinoPinch® fits securely and comfortably on the nose, making it suitable for adults and children over seven. It can be used in homes, schools, workplaces, and first aid settings, providing a simple and effective way to manage anterior nosebleeds (epistaxis).
Each clip is disposable, individually wrapped, and CE marked, ensuring safety and hygiene.
The RhinoPinch® Nasal Clip is designed for anyone who may need a quick and simple way to manage a nosebleed. Suitable for adults and children over 7 years old, it can be used safely and comfortably in a wide range of settings, including at home, in schools, workplaces, sports clubs, and by first aid responders.
It is particularly useful for first aiders, teachers, nurses, and paramedics who need a practical way to stop an anterior nosebleed without direct hand pressure. The clip allows the person experiencing the bleed to remain hands-free while steady pressure is applied to the correct area of the nose.
The RhinoPinch® is designed for anterior nosebleeds only, which occur just below the bridge of the nose. It should not be used for posterior bleeds, where blood flows further back into the throat — these require medical attention.
Lightweight, latex-free, and CE marked, the RhinoPinch® offers a straightforward, safe, and comfortable option for managing nosebleeds wherever they occur.
