DEVELOPMENT

IDEHALER®-POCKET

A VIRTUAL VALVE HOLDING CHAMBER

Based on dynamic fluid properties, an innovative new vertical holding chamber has been developed for a mesh nebulizer.

The IDEHALER®-POCKET offers a virtual valve nebulization system.

In terms of performance, the IDEHALER®-POCKET allows to:
  • increase the inhalable ratio - up to 77%,
  • deliver a 4µm particle size aerosol.

The IDEHALER®-POCKET offers the advantage to be
  • very small and portable,
  • easy to use.
