Handheld Spacer for Inhaler

Definition
Spacers are devices used with nebulizers and metered-dose inhalers, featuring a reservoir where aerosol medication is dispensed. They typically use an open mouthpiece for inhalation.
Purpose
They help hold drugs after aerosolization, minimizing the delivery of large aerosolized particles that would otherwise deposit in the mouth instead of reaching the lower airways.
Material & Design
Often made of plastic, spacers are usually tube-shaped for easy handling and effective medication delivery.
Function
Spacers improve drug delivery to the lungs while reducing drug loss in the mouth, ensuring better treatment efficiency.
