Ultrasonic nebulizers – Expensive but efficient

People who suffer from any respiratory disease knows the benefits of owning a nebulizer and how efficiently it can administer medication. It is a great tool that aid in quick relief from any breathing problem as the medications are converted into aerosol for direct inhalation into users' lungs. As a nebulizer converts the medication into mist form it is inhale by the sufferer, and though an inhaler does the same job patients prefer nebulizer over the latter because it is not very user friendly. Especially kids find it very difficult to use an inhaler as it requires coordination and hand strength to hold it throughout the medication process, and so even adults are not comfortable using this medical equipment.

Though there are different types of nebulizers in the market, people prefer to own an portable ultrasonic nebulizer, but why? Because the technique ultrasonic nebulizers employ to covert the medication into aerosol is different from the conventional nebulizer machines and it is efficient too. A piston-style air compressor is used in standard nebiluzers to convert the medication into mist form whereas ultrasonic nebulizers covert the medicines into mist with the aid of high-frequency vibrations. Some ultrasonic nebulizers require water to act as medium to carry vibrations from the transducer to the medicine cup while there are also machines that function without water. The latter is more convenient especially while travelling.

Also, ultrasonic nebulizers produce consistent, uniform and smaller particle size compared to standard nebulizers because the air produced by compressor in the latter are vary in strength, while in ultrasonic devices it is steady and reliable too. Why size of particles are given more importance because only if they are small and uniform, can reach easily penetrate into lungs and so users can get relief soon. Also, time taken by ultrasonic nebulizer machines for the treatment are relatively lesser. And, they are very quite unlike the compressor-style units, and hence users can carry out their medication peacefully and watch television or listen to music.

There are also studies done on ultrasonic nebulizers and how advantageous they are over the standard units and results show that people with respiratory disorders find these devices better aid in their treatment and hence are very useful. Since it their that matter here and though ultrasonic nebulizers are expensive, they don't mind shelling extra bucks, and they feel these devices are worth paying. So, buy an ultrasonic nebulizer and enjoy the full advantage of the medication.
