This study aims to determine if a portable VHC could improve MART therapy effectiveness outside of the home. 

Expert insights from UK respiratory specialists and school nurses on fall and winter asthma triggers and advancements in asthma care and innovative technologies supporting better management among children and adolescents.

This study evaluated the medication delivery performance of hypertonic saline when delivered via a nebulizer with breath actuated technology (inhalation) attached to an OPEP device (exhalation).

This study was presented at the American Thoracic Society Conference in 2023.

Given the more recent availability of mucus plug detection as part of the FRI technology, we wanted to investigate this association further.

This study assessed people with COPD suffering with mucus hypersecretion, post exacerbation in Wales, UK, following treatment with a handheld, OPEP device or the ACBT breathing technique.

The use of a model that includes soft face tissue simulation and an anatomically correct oropharyngeal airway is an effective means to evaluate MDI+valved holding chamber with a mask. We report a study in which several child-mask spacers (n=5/group) were evaluated using a model of a 4-year-old child.

This study was undertaken to inform clinicians as to the respective rescue medication drug delivery performance using the new portable spacer compared to the commonly recommended spacer as well as the MDI alone (assuming perfect coordination).

Short-acting beta2 agonist (SABA) monotherapy is typically required to provide as needed short term relief of bronchoconstriction. The salbutamol EasyHaler† DPI has recently become available in the UK as an alternative to delivery by pressurized metered-dose inhaler. Our study evaluated delivery from this DPI at different inhalation flow rates.

This laboratory study compared three different OPEP devices, each with a distinctly different mechanism of action in producing the OPEP. Key in-vitro performance parameters were compared.

We report a study in which several child mask VHCs were evaluated using a model of a 4-year-old child to deliver fluticasone.

Medikro to distribute Aerobika* OPEP Devices to patients in Finland and Sweden.

Various improvements have been made to the basic jet nebulizer design with the intent of delivering more medication to the distal airways while still providing aerosol within the respirable range of 3 – 5 μm.

Positioning of the tongue during inhaler medication delivery is something that is not thought about by either users or caregivers.

More consistent dose delivery was achieved with the breath actuated technology rather than breath enhanced. Delivering medication only when the patient inhales would result in more stable therapy if I:E ratio was to change with disease< progression or if the patient took breaks to talk during treatment.

Online marketplaces offer convenience and a vast array of options making them an attractive choice for purchasing medical devices.
