Livingstone Disposable Cardboard Asthma Spacer (25)

The Livingstone foldable cardboard asthma spacer is a disposable dual-valve MDI holding chamber that delivers effective drug output at a fraction of the cost of a plastic spacer. It has a pop-open-go assembly for immediate use in an attack, a clear-view window to monitor delivery, and is individually packed. Single patient use. Pack of 25.

Why choose a cardboard asthma spacer

A spacer is not an accessory to a puffer - it changes how much medication reaches the lungs. Used straight from an inhaler, a large share of the dose lands in the mouth and throat; through a holding chamber the aerosol is captured and can be breathed in over several breaths. That is why Asthma First Aid uses a spacer, and why having one available matters more than which material it is made from.

The economics are the point of a cardboard asthma spacer. Plastic chambers are expensive enough that schools, workplaces and first aid rooms hold one or two; at a fraction of the cost you can put one in every first aid kit, every classroom and every vehicle. Livingstone states the dual-valve design meets and often exceeds the performance of plastic holding chambers, so the saving is not paid for in drug delivery.

It is designed for the moment it is needed. Pop-open-go assembly means no fiddling during an attack, the clear-view window lets you confirm the aerosol is actually being delivered, and it folds flat enough to live in a bag, a pocket or a kit. Each unit is individually packed to avoid cross contamination, and it is single patient use - reusable by that one patient across multiple doses, then discarded when worn or damaged.

Common uses

Schools, childcare, workplaces, sports clubs and first aid rooms - anywhere an asthma emergency could happen and a spacer needs to be on hand for whoever needs it. Because each is individually packed and single-patient, a pack of 25 lets you stock every location without an infection control problem. Where a durable reusable chamber is wanted instead, the E-Chamber Spacer 510ml is the semi-disposable option, and spacer masks fit young children who cannot use a mouthpiece. A peak flow meter supports ongoing monitoring. Also stocked for childcare and school first aid.
