The AeroChamber Plus has a valved holding chamber which makes it easier than inhaling from a conventional inhaler. With an AeroChamber Plus, medication is delivered straight into the airway, a useful method for those suffering from lung diseases. It also makes it easier to coordinate breathing in and pressing your inhaler, which can often be difficult for many patients.

Metered dose inhalers such as Ventolin have a pressurised canister that releases a set dose each time. The AeroChamber Plus attaches to the inhaler, conveying the treatment straight to the airways in the lungs and increasing the effectiveness of the medication. Moreover, it helps to reduce the side effects as it prevents the medication from hitting the back of the throat.

With a mouthpiece on one end of the plastic tube, a soft seal at the opposite end to hold the metered dose inhaler and a valve to control the dispensed treatment.

How do I assemble the AeroChamber Plus?
