About atomizing mouthpiece

Using an atomizing mouthpiece for atomization can effectively avoid the loss of drugs, and make a large amount of drugs deposited in the lungs. The therapeutic effect is remarkable, which is what we often say " directly to the lesion".

2. It is better to choose an atomized mouthpiece for throat diseases. The medicine does not pass through the nasal cavity and is not blocked by multiple parts of the nose. The medicine can directly contact the lesion.

3. For lower respiratory diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, asthma, etc., using a mouthpiece for atomization treatment can make the drug better deposited in the alveoli and small airways.

About Respirators

When using a mask, drugs will pass through the nasal cavity and oral cavity, and the oral cavity is the main one. Compared with the atomizing mouthpiece, the deposition rate of the drug is relatively low, but it is reasonable if it exists. Please choose the atomizing mask for the following people——

Parents can choose an atomizing mask to atomize the child, and the effect will be better.

2. Similarly, it is safer and more convenient for elderly patients to use nebulization masks.

3. People who are accustomed to using atomization masks.

The choice of mask and mouthpiece can be decided according to the above suggestions combined with the actual situation.
