What is an AeroChamber?

An AeroChamber, also known as a spacer, is a medical device used to improve the delivery of inhaled medications. It is typically used with a metered-dose inhaler (MDI), such as Salamol or Clenil inhaler.

What are the benefits of using an AeroChamber?

Some people struggle to use their MDIs incorrectly, the AeroChamber helps overcome the coordination challenges needed when using an MDI. Proper inhalation technique is crucial for getting the medication deep into the lungs, but this can be difficult for some people, especially children or those with breathing difficulties. With an AeroChamber, patients can take a slow and deep breath, and the inhaled medication is temporarily held inside the chamber. This allows them to breathe in the medication effectively without the need for perfect timing between actuating the inhaler and taking a breath. Without a spacer, a some of the inhaled medication may stick to the mouth and throat, never reaching the lungs.
