Holding Chambers For Nebulizers

Holding chambers are used with Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs) to help deliver prescription medication into a patient’s lungs. Without a holding chamber, the delivery of medication relies solely on a patient’s breathing technique, which is often inconsistent or performed incorrectly. This is especially true for young children and elderly patients, as they can lack the proper coordination to administer and inhale the medication correctly. Inconsistency and incorrect performance can result in the loss of medication leading to improper and insufficient treatment.

Not all holding chambers are the same, though. Conventional plastic holding chambers have static walls that attract the medication, so a lesser dosage reaches the patient’s lungs. What’s more, many MDIs are now formulated with hydro fluoro Alkan (HFA) propellants that have a higher static charge. As a result, more medication collects on the walls of the holding chamber and never reaches the patient’s lungs.

There is a solution: PARI holding chambers supplied by a trusted name like Nebology. The non-electrostatic walls of the PARI Vortex Non-Electrostatic Holding Chamber do not attract medication, meaning you’ll be able to inhale a full dosage to maximize respiratory treatment.

Nebology carries a variety of holding chambers and accessories, such as the PARI Adult Holding Chamber Mask for adults PARI Infant Holding Chamber Mask for babies. Get the most out of your respiratory treatments with holding chambers and accessories designed to properly deliver medication.
