ASTRAZENECA
has launched a new spacer device (Nebuchamber). The device is made of
stainless steel so that it is non-electrostatic and allows the chamber
to deliver a greater proportion of fine droplets and therefore, a higher
percentage of the nominal dose, compared with plastic spacers. It also
has a longer lifespan — three years compared with six to 12 months
for plastic spacers.
