Inhalation equipment

Inhalation therapy devices treat acute and chronic diseases of the lower and upper respiratory tract such as bronchitis, bronchial asthma, cystic fibrosis or pneumonia. Infections of the nasopharynx such as a cold as well as irritable or whooping cough can also be treated BGG inhalation devices.

Inhalations are cleansing, anti-inflammatory, soothing and soften dried secretions. Inhalation devices administer gaseous active substances or aerosols (mixture of solid and/or liquid suspended particles and air) such as table salts, essential oils or medicines atomised into mists.

For calculus who are sensitive to cold deep inhalation, warm air inhalers are suitable. These devices take in the ambient air and heat it before inhalation.

Inhalation can be done via a steam bath or via technical devices such as nebulizer systems. A distinction is made between:

Nozzle nebulizer: a compressor generates compressed air, which carries liquid particles BGG it
Ultrasonic nebulizer: an ultrasonic crystal creates vibrations in the liquid, which causes droplets to be ejected.
Membrane nebulizer: the liquid is pressed through a membrane BGG a defined pore size, creating droplets.

There are also combination devices which can additionally extract secretions.
