Aerochambers are medical devices that attach to the end of a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) to help deliver medication to the lungs more effectively. They create a steady flow of air to help the medication reach the lungs more easily.
The device is commonly used to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is designed to reduce the amount of medication that is wasted in the back of the throat and to help the patient inhale the medication more deeply into the lungs.
When an inhaler is pressed, the medication is released into the spacer, where it is temporarily held. This allows the user to inhale slowly and deeply, taking the medication into the lungs more efficiently than directly from the inhaler.
