Hand-held Performance

The performance of medical inhalers for conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is crucial. Proper drug delivery can mean the difference between controlling symptoms and experiencing a potentially dangerous, life-threatening flare-up. For many patients, an inhaler can provide rapid relief during breathing emergencies or prevent asthma attacks through regular maintenance dosing. However, some treatments may require a nebulizer to accommodate various medication doses and patient abilities.

In either situation, patients want a well-functioning device that is also comfortable and easy to use. With technologies that can support a range of performance needs as well as provide color coding for brand identification, Avient can work with you to enhance the safety and effectiveness of your patient inhalation devices.
