The Aerochamber Plus Mouthpiece, with its innovative design and user-centric approach, plays a pivotal role in enhancing the effectiveness of asthma treatment. By bridging the gap between the inhaler and the user, it ensures that the maximum amount of medication reaches where it’s intended, leading to better management of respiratory conditions. For patients, this translates to peace of mind, knowing that they’re getting the most out of their medication. With the indicator, this is the only valved holding chamber (VHC) available. When patients struggle to use Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs), the medication dispensed by the MDIs may end up on the back of the throat or on the roof of the mouth. The AeroChamber Plus® Anti-Static Valved Holding Chamber (VHC) assists patients in correctly inhaling MDI medications. AeroChamber Plus® VHC is a prescription-only device for patients who may struggle with the coordination and control required to use MDIs correctly. Multiple mask sizes are available to accommodate patients of varying ages. Indications For Use: This product is intended for use by patients who are being cared for or treated by a physician or other licensed healthcare professional. These patients will use the device to administer aerosolized medication from most pressurized Metered Dose Inhalers. The home, hospitals, and clinics are among the intended environments for use.
