SouthmedicUsing a swivel adapter to improve patient comfort and provide optimal aerosol delivery whether the patient is lying down or is vertical, Southmedic offers the OxyKid Aerosol Mask. The mask design provides directional flow to mouth and nose, generating a higher percentage of respi- rable dose and greater aerosol efficiency while preventing the aerosol from going into the eyes. It is also available in OxyMask, OxyPlus, and OxyTyke sizes. 705-726-9383; www.southmedic.com
Providing silent drug delivery for infants through adults, Aerogen offers the Aeroneb Solo nebulizer. The Aeroneb Solo uses vibrating mesh nebulization technology to create a fine-particle, low-velocity aerosol optimized for deep lung deposition. The device maintains drug integrity when aerosoliz- ing solutions, suspensions, proteins, and peptides, because it does not heat, degrade, or shear medications and does not affect ventilator parameters. It operates for both intermittent and continuous nebulization and can be refilled without interrupting ventilation. 866-423-7643; www.aerogen.com
