Parts Description

What are Compressor Nebulizer Systems Used For?

People suffering from breathing problems, such as Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), or Cystic Fibrosis, are often prescribed medicines that minimize or control the symptoms of their disease. Compressor Nebulizer System is a means of delivering these prescribed medications to the lungs of the patients. Medications and compressor nebulizer systems should be used as directed by physicians to maximize the benefits.

How Does it Work?

Most medicines that come in use with a compressor nebulizer system are created in a liquid form. This liquid medication is placed in the nebulizer cup. The compressor is connected to the nebulizer by flexible tubing and generates a specific pressure and airflow that essentially “drives” the nebulizer. The pressurized air produced by the compressor initiates the ability of the Nebulizer to break down the liquid medication into a very fine mist. This mist, often known as an aerosol cloud, is then propelled out of the nebulizer and inhaled into the lungs, where the medicine is readily absorbed. This penguin pediatric compressor nebulizer works best for children and has a child-friendly design to make your child comfortable and relaxed.
