Portable nebulizers are compact devices that are designed for medication delivery directly into the lungs. These devices are mostly preferred by patients with active lifestyle. Since table top nebulizers do not provide the advantage of medication delivery on the go portable nebulizers offer this advantage. When patients with chronic lung diseases travel, a portable nebulizer will offer better benefits compared to inhalers. Portable nebulizers can more efficiently deliver bronchodilators and corticosteroids in these patients as the drugs are delivered directly into the lungs.
In this type of nebulizers ultrasonic waves are generated by an electronic oscillator which creates vibrations in a vibrating element placed in contact with the liquid drug. The high frequency vibration of the vibrating element converts the liquid drug into mist. The mist is then inhaled by the patients and it is then directly delivered to their lungs. These nebulizers are only available as portable models. The disadvantage in this model is that the medication gets heated when it gets converted into an aerosol. This is not suitable for thermo labile drugs. Try ultrasonic nebulizers like Flyp Portable Vibrating Mesh Nebulizer for best results.
Also called the atomizer, these nebulizers have a compressor that pass compressed air or oxygen into the liquid drug at high velocity which converts the liquid drug into a mist. The patient then inhales the aerosol. The only disadvantage in this model is that it makes noise while working. Try the Drive Compact Portable Compressor Nebulizer for fast and effective medication delivery.
This technology uses a mesh bearing laser drilled holes vibrates on top of the liquid reservoir. The vibrations causes the liquid medicine to escape through the holes as mist. In nebulizers using vibration mesh technology the liquid drug does not get heated like the ultrasonic nebulizers and there is formation of less liquid waste. They are silent devices and are less noisy while operating.
For maximum results the nebulizer should be properly cleaned and the parts such as air filters, mouth piece, mask, and tubing should be replaced regularly.
