HI! To answer your first question - yes, 7% saline can be bought by mail order without a prescription. But some of us use a prescription because our co-pay is less than the full cost.

As for the hand-held unit, on the ones I have owned, top is removable and can be cleaned and sterilized. Does your come apart?
