The Breath-A-Tech® Anti-static Spacer is a hand-held, portable valved holding chamber (VHC), that is placed between a metered dose inhaler (MDI, or 'puffer') and the patient's mouth, to function as a reservoir from which an aerosol medication is dispensed in order to minimise delivery of large aerosolised particles. Intended for adults and children. The Breath-A-Tech Anti-Static Medium Mask can be used with the Breath-A-Tech Anti-Static Spacer when the patient is unable to used the mouthpiece of the spacer alone.
