Mesh technology
Active mesh nebulizers use the vibration of a piezo element to vibrate a mesh substrate
that is in contact with a fluid reservoir so that the movement of the mesh pushes the liquid
through the holes in the mesh. The main advantage of mesh nebulizers are:
-
Portability (AC or battery)
-
Energy efficient – many treatments from one charge/set of batteries
-
Fast (high output rate), short treatment times (3–10 min)
-
Possibility of low residual volume (0.1–1.25 ml)
-
Quiet operation
