What is a Nebulizer?

A nebulizer is a medical device which is used to deliver medication in mist form. It can be used to inhale drugs into the lungs and is commonly used to treat respiratory disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and cystic fibrosis among other respiratory disorders. These devices are helpful for those patients who have difficulty using inhalers.

The components of nebulizers include a medication cup, compressor or ultrasonic element, mouthpiece or mask and tubing. Nebulizers can work in different ways, including jet nebulizers which use compressed air or oxygen to create a fine mist. On the other hand, ultrasonic nebulizers use high-frequency sound waves to generate the mist and mesh nebulizers use a vibrating mesh to aerosolize the medication. Nebulizer has various applications in the healthcare domain reflecting the positive impact on the patent landscape.
