Mesh inhaler for children
Nowadays, inhalations in childhood are carried out with the use of special devices called nebulizers. One of the types of nebulizers used in diseases of the respiratory system in children is the electron-net. Its other name is mesh inhaler.
The operation of this device is based on the presence of a mesh membrane in such a nebulizer. Through it, medicinal substances are sprayed on the smallest suspended particles that fall into the lower respiratory tract.
pros
- In the mesh nebulizer, the drug in liquid form is converted into an aerosol, which facilitates its entry into the respiratory system.
- Such a device allows the use in the treatment of rather viscous solutions.
- Unlike ultrasound models, mucolytics, hormonal drugs or antibiotics are not destroyed in the mesh inhaler.
- The device is distinguished by low weight and low noise operation, which favorably distinguishes it from compressor nebulizers.
- Inhalation using a mesh device can be carried out at any position of the patient, including the recumbent.
- In the electron-net nebulizer, you can track how the procedure is performed with particular precision.
- Virtually the entire drug that was poured into the mesh inhaler, gets into the respiratory tract. In addition, the medicines in this device are spent economically due to the activation of breath.
- The device allows inhalation of a sleeping child.
- Due to its compact size and battery life, this type of nebulizer can be used not only at home, but also at work or while traveling.
- The device is unpretentious in care and easy to clean.
Minuses
The main disadvantage of mesh nebulizers is their high cost. A considerable price limits the wide distribution of devices of this type, despite the significant number of advantages of these devices.

Instructions for use
- Before use, all parts of the inhaler must be cleaned and rinsed.
- After inserting the batteries, the treatment solution is poured into the spray chamber of the device, taking into account the permissible level.
- Carefully closing the camera, set a mask or mouthpiece, apply to the face of the child and offer him to take deep slow breaths.
- After the procedure is completed, the appliance is turned off, allowed to cool, and then cleaned.
- The device should not be turned on if there is no drug in the spray booth.
