Mesh nebulizer

In the treatment of a number of respiratory diseases, in many cases, administration of inhalations is indicated using a special device called an inhaler or a nebulizer. With its help, the drug falls directly on the mucous membrane of the diseased organ. This leads to a speedy recovery. In the inhaler chamber, the drug is converted into a condition that resembles fog or vapor. But the very principle of the operation of instruments is different. Mesh nebulizer is one of the types of inhalers. They appeared relatively recently, but are gaining popularity.

The operating principle of the nebulizer mesh

In this apparatus the aerosol is created by means of a vibrating mesh (membrane). It is thanks to its presence that the instruments have received such a name, because in English mesh is a mesh. Therefore, the nebulizer mesh is also called membrane.

The medicinal solution is sieved through it, resulting in the formation of particles that will affect the respiratory tract. The membrane oscillates with a lower frequency, because it becomes impossible to violate the structure of substances consisting of large molecules, for example, antibiotics or hormones.

Drugs that are used in therapy should be agreed with the doctor. For treatment with a nebulizer, the doctor can prescribe drugs of such groups as antibiotics, antiseptics, bronchodilators, mucolytics, hormonal, antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs.

The advantages and disadvantages of the device
