The inhaler is an effective way to treat ENT diseases. Mostly this applies to the upper and lower respiratory tract. Comprises a device from a compressor, a mask and such an important detail as a sprayer.
What is a nebulizer for an inhaler?
The atomizer is just that part of the device that ensures the grinding of the drug into fine particles of exactly the size that are set by the user. Only in such shredded state the medication falls not only in the upper respiratory tract (nose, nasopharynx, mouth part of the pharynx), but also the lower ones (larynx, bronchi and trachea). A jet of compressed air from the compressor enters the reservoir of the nebulizer, mixes there with the drug and eventually turns into an aerosol. Outside the fine particles of air with the drug are released through the deflector and through the valve.
Types of nebulizers for an inhaler
Sprays look and work differently, depending on the kind of inhaler itself. The nebulizer for compression inhalers has an elongated shape: a nozzle with a mouthpiece protrudes from the cylinder-shaped reservoir with a valve. A mouthpiece and a mask for inhaling the drug are then attached to the nebulizer. It is this device that has a nebulizer for the Microlife inhaler.
The screen nebulizer for an inhaler looks slightly different. It is suitable only for membrane nebulizers. In a circular nozzle there is a metal membrane made of a special composition. The drug, when forced through a tiny opening of the membrane, is effectively sprayed. For example, the nebulizer for the Omron inhaler works.
The atomizer for ultrasonic nebulizer also has the form of a cylinder. In its composition, it has a drug reservoir and a small plate, which when vibrated, crushes the drug to very fine particles.
