5 best spacers

A spacer is a kind of camera for transpiration of an inhalant into the lowest parts of the lungs, thereby enhancing the effect of the procedure. The main factor leading to the acquisition of the spacer is often the simplification of inhalation. People with asthma are aware that aerosols require the synchronization of inhalation and pressing the valve. The spacer makes the procedure as simple as possible, even for the youngest children who are difficult to teach to use the device themselves, all you need to do is shake the medicine bottle, insert it into the adapter, spray it and inhale through the mouthpiece on the other hand. Turning the spray into a cloud and precipitating large particles on the walls of the chamber, slows down the speed of drug delivery to the respiratory tract, and this helps to avoid coughing and discomfort.

Although today there are not so many brands of spacers on sale, they all have differences between them. There are models with silicone masks, with a sound signal warning of inhaling too fast, of different volume and purpose (for a child or an adult); also used for the manufacture of different materials. To simplify your choice, we have created a rating of the best spacers for aerosol inhalations, according to their relevance and reviews on the Internet.

TOP 5 best spacers

5 Free-breath Baby Flow

Free-breath Baby Flow was created specifically for children under 5 years old, but this does not exclude the possibility of using a spacer for inhalation in adults, because the manufacturer launched additional masks for sale (small, medium, large). The volume of the chamber is 175 ml, which is optimal for the baby’s lungs. With the Free-breath spacer, you can be sure that the exhaled air will not remain inside the device and will not fall back into the lungs.

The device is made according to GOST, in the open access you can find declarations of conformity. The best sterility will provide a cap on a mouthpiece. A big advantage will be the cuff developed by the company, which perfectly fixes the vials for inhalation of various forms.

4 Air Liquide L'espace

The Italian spacer model L'espace increases the speed and effectiveness of the inhalation procedure due to direct, but soft delivery of the drug to the lower bronchus. The chamber of conical shape, with a volume of 240 ml, is made of soft eco-friendly silicone, the device can even be washed in a dishwasher. In the reviews they write that it was a good decision of the manufacturers to add a cover to the package that helps to keep the spacer clean during transportation in the bag.

The model is highly effective even at the time of the most severe asthma attacks, because its wide valve, regardless of the intensity of inhalation, transports the drug to the lungs. In the assortment there are several modifications of the spacer, for example, if the device is used by a child, then the best choice will be models with adaptive masks, there are only 3 of them: for babies under 2 years old, for kids from 2 to 6 years old and for children from 6 years old.

3 Aerocamhamber

Bright colors distract the attention of the child for a successful inhalation. Universal adapter suitable for all types of vials.

The spacer valve opens only when inhaled, which prevents the expiration of air into the chamber. AeroChamber delivers no more than 2 microns of drug particles to the airways, since the larger ones usually remain in the middle of the lungs, not reaching the alveoli. Judging by the reviews, the spacer is especially common in pharmacies in Ukraine, but in Russia it will be more difficult to find it, but you can always resort to online stores for allergy sufferers.
