Nebulizers are drug delivery devices that are used to administer medication in mist form directly into the respiratory tract. Nebulizers break the medication into small aerosol droplets that can be inhaled directly from the mouthpeice. (Aerosol is the mixture of liquid and gas). Nebulizers are commonly used for the treatment of cystic fibrosis, asthma, COPD and other respiratory diseases. Compact and lightweight, our portable nebulizers are cost-effective and guaranteed to provide freedom to those with active lifestyles.
It is mandatory to have an evaluation of nebulizers for better clinical outcomes.
Handheld Nebulizers, as the name suggests are the most compact and portable versions of nebulizer therapy machines that can be held in your hand. They also fall under the vibrating mesh nebulizers or ultrasonic nebulizers, providing quick 5-minute treatments. Tabletop nebulizers on the other hand are known for delivering more power and varied medication delivery speeds. They can be classified as piston pump nebulizers as they use compressors to pass a jet of air through the medication.
Mesh nebulizers are driven by a 'piezo-element' and use ultrasonic frequencies to vibrate the mesh which converts medicine to mist. Ultrasonic nebulizers, by contrast, produce ultrasonic waves directly into the solution causing aerosol to be produced at the liquid surface. Jet nebulizers simply work along with an air compressor that shoots a jet stream which converts medication to mist inside the medication cup.
No, there is basically no difference between pediatric or adult nebulizers. they can be used inter-changeably. The only uptake is that pediatric nebulizers feature child-friendly designs to attract kids.
Although choosing between a handheld and tabletop nebulizer rests solely on preferences of the user, the clash between jet, mesh and ultrasonic types is clearly stated by researchers - Ultra sonic nebulizers are said to be most compact and efficient but expensive option. Jet nebulizers being the cheapest but less effective choice with Mesh nebulizers falling between the both categories.
