Rossmax Aero Spacer with Infant Mask 0 – 18 Months

Patients of all ages that use a standard meter dose inhaler- commonly referred to as an asthma pump, should consider using a Rossmax Aero Spacer. The Rossmax Aero Spacer makes it easier to inhale the medication from the MDI, as well as increases the effectiveness of the delivery of medication from the pump. Instead of inhaling directly from the MDI, a dose from the MDI is puffed into the spacer and then inhaled via the mouth piece of the spacer. The benefits of this are two-fold:

1) Inhaling the medication from the MDI (asthma pump) is much easier, there is no need to try to coordinate breathing in at the exact time the MDI is pressed, which is something babies, children and many adults alike struggle to do. It is very common for asthma patients to use the incorrect inhaling technique with their MDI, and be unaware of this. The patient can simply breathe a few normal breaths whilst the mask is applied to their mouth/ nose. The one-way valve ensures the medication is held in the spacer until the patient breathes it in, and the anti-static walls will prevent the medication from sticking to the walls of the spacer.

2) The use of a Rossmax Aerospacer increases the effectiveness of the medication by up to 70 percent. (Asthma & Respiratory Foundation New Zealand) The medication from the MDI is more likely to reach the lungs as it is released slower over a few breaths. When all the medication is released at one time, a large amount of it may remain in the mouth and throat, rather than the lungs. The spacer helps deliver the medicine directly into the lungs, instead of the mouth and throat.
