Nebulisers

Nebulisers work by creating a fine mist of medicine that is inhaled. Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate medication and assist in deciding the best nebuliser appliance for you to use. Medix nebulisers are used widely throughout U.K. hospitals and are now available for home use. Their high flow rate provides fast effective nebulisation of all respiratory drugs, with a minimum nebulisation time of four minutes.

Servicing  your nebuliser

The old service type arrangements have now been superseded by longer manufacturers warranties (typically 3years).With the falling price of new nebulisers it is no longer cost effective to repair or service them after the warranty expires and is often cheaper to buy a new nebuliser when parts wear out.
