Cleanoz® has been invented by Dr. Jose Bensoussan, a French E.N.T. from Lyon, France.

Cleanoz® is the result of 5 years of intensive research. As a medical professional, Dr. Jose Bensoussan sought to create a product in response to his patients’ real needs.

Before 2002, Dr. Bensoussan collected and gathered information from unsatisfied patients with ineffective and unhygienic existing nose cleaners.

From 2002 to 2005, Dr. Bensoussan researched existing products and began the development of Cleanoz®. He invented the new concept of disposable nozzle pieces to replace existing washable products (international patents pending).

While on vacation with his family at the beach in August 2004, Dr. Jose Bensoussan asked his children David (13 years old) and Barbara (10 years old) to help him with the design of the electric nose cleaner. Using her own imagination, Barbara drew a nose cleaner shaped like a duck. As this moment, a dolphin jumped out of the water in front of the family and the dolphin shape was decided upon immediately. They were all convinced by the smoothness of the dolphin shape for a nose cleaner, and the design research based on that draft commenced. Who could have imagined that a child’s drawing could inspire the creation of an effective device that millions of mothers would use throughout the world.

The dolphin shape is soft, smooth, and harmless for a baby. The first draft was soon created, and many more drafts followed until the exclusive design of Cleanoz® was born (US Design Patent 542915).

Cleanoz®MB001 has been marketed in the US since January 2006.

In February 2008, the new Cleanoz® MB002 replaces Cleanoz® MB001.
