Spacers are designed to assist with metered dose inhaler (MDI) aerosol medication delivery, Spacers aim to improve inhaler technique and increase the amount of medication that is inhaled.
Spacers are particularly useful for:
- Patients with poor inhalation technique - Children - Patients requiring higher doses - Sufferers of nocturnal asthma - Patients prone to develop candidiasis with inhaled corticosteroids
The unique design of the Able Spacer assists in improving inhaler technique, by providing a space between the inhaler and mouth this reduces the speed that the medication particles enter the mouth, this means that a larger proportion of the medication particles can be inhaled.
The Able Spacer:
- Saves space as the inhaler can be discretely stored inside the Spacer when not in use. - Improves inspiratory rate as the in-built coaching signal informs patients of incorrect usage. - Suitable for tidal breathing - Suitable for both adults and children - Is easy to dismantle for simple cleaning.
