Nebulizers have been commonly used to transform liquid formulations and suspension into medical aerosol and deliver aerosolized medications in the treatment of patients with pulmonary diseases.
Three types of nebulizers exist:
(1) jet nebulizers: commonly used for the treatment of patients with pulmonary diseases. They are bulky and require a power source, and they can be difficult to use because of their need for compressed gas and additional tubing, inefficiencies in drug delivery.
(2) ultrasonic nebulizers: more efficient and compact than jet nebulizers, but can not be used to deliver proteins or suspensions. Also they have many other limitations: large residual volumes, an inability to aerosolize viscous solutions, and degradation of heat-sensitive materials.
(3) mesh nebulizers: use lower-frequency waves to force liquid medications through multiple apertures in a mesh to generate aerosol, suitable for more drug delivery such as suspensions, liposomes, and nucleic acids.
Advantages of mesh nebulizers include consistent and improved aerosol generation efficiency, a predominantly fine-particle fraction reaching into the peripheral lung, low residual volume, and the ability to nebulize in low drug volumes, and more efficient than jet nebulizers and can provide higher drug doses to patients.
With Aerosoon’s advances in the development of vibrating mesh technology and mesh nebulizers, there achieves more improvement of aerosol drug delivery to patients for respiratory health management.
Powered by Li-polymer battery or electricity (micro USB), NebSmart and iNebcare portable mesh nebulizer is doing better and works more efficient and reliable: silent operation, short treatment times, increased output efficiency, and minimal residual volume.
