Portable nebulisers are great for efficient, fast and high does relief on-the-go treatment. These lightweight, compact devices give you the flexibility and freedom to live life with fewer interruptions, but with the knowledge that you can receive the medication you need should a situation arise.
You should always notify your GP or health care professional if you plan to travel. You should check if you can use a travel nebuliser and will need to ensure you still have a prescription for the medications to be nebulised.
It’s very important to continue to use a nebuliser safely when you are away from home. Do make sure you take everything you need in order to maintain a healthy cleaning routine and any extra parts you may need.
Parts such as mouthpieces, masks, tubing, filters and the nebuliser’s chamber need to be changed regularly, as per manufacturers guidance.
Portable nebulisers are a great option if you have a busy lifestyle, have children or if you aren’t always at home for treatment. Portable nebulisers are battery-powered and are extremely compact and small, enabling you to carry them around easily.
Please note: If you require regular treatment, such as several times a day or several times each week, a portable nebuliser will not be suitable. You should instead consider a home nebuliser such as the Neb Pro.
You should use your nebuliser as frequently as instructed to by the prescription for your medication. If unsure, consult your prescriber.
It is critical that your nebuliser chamber, mask and mouthpiece are cleaned after every use. It is a quick process and it is important that this is done daily.
The tubing that connects the nebuliser to the chamber does not need to be washed – only the mask and chamber need washing.
Wash your nebuliser after each use by:
The importance of using washing up soap
Using soapy water creates a surface which the liquid medications cannot stick to. If the medication sticks to the side of the chamber, it cannot be administered properly and effectively.
The importance of air drying
Although you may think it is better, manually drying the chamber and other parts of the nebuliser with a cloth will create static. This static will cause the medication to stick to the sides of the chamber and the other parts, reducing the effectiveness of your treatment.
The importance of daily cleaning
Leaving medication residue and water in the chamber, mouthpiece and mask can be a haven for bacteria. If not cleaned after every use, this bacteria would be taken down into the lungs and poses a risk of infection.
We offer a range of high-performing portable nebulisers for on-the-go treatment from leading brands, including Philips and Microlife.
Our small portable nebulisers provide effective relief in the same way as non-portable devices, so you can enjoy relief wherever you go.
All types of nebulisers require liquid medication that is transformed into a mist to provide relief. Common medications include:
Hypertonic saline solutions – These are strong and highly concentrated saltwater solutions. They are breathed in as a fine mist during nebulisation to relieve breathing discomfort. SinuAir salts are an effective dual-purpose saline solution that can be used with your nebuliser and during nasal irrigation.
Antibiotics – Your doctor may prescribe a certain medication for your nebuliser; the specific antibiotic will depend on the individual.
Bronchodilators – These are medications that relax the muscles in your lungs and widen your airways to make breathing easier.
