- A piezo element vibrates the mesh substrate
- The mesh pushes the liquid through its holes
- The result is a consistent mist of medication particles
Mesh nebulizers have several advantages, including:
- Portability: They are compact and lightweight
- Efficiency: They deliver medication quickly and efficiently
- Ease of use: They are easy to use and are preferred by patients over jet nebulizers
- Suitability for high-cost drugs: Their high nebulization efficiency makes them suitable for expensive drugs
- Good for ventilated patients: They don't require gas flow to generate an aerosol, which is beneficial for ventilated patients
