AeroTrach Plus®  Valved Holding Chamber ("VHC")

for Tracheostomy Patients


Features/Benefits
  • AeroTrach Plus® VHC is a unique product designed specifically for spontaneously breathing tracheostomy patients with standard 15mm tracheostomy tube connections.
  • Clear Comfort Right Fitadapter simplifies visualization and cleaning of discharge.  It also means the connection will fit securely for exceptional aerosol delivery, without excessive torque when connecting or disconnecting the device.
  • AeroTrach Plus® VHC provides consistent, high performance aerosol drug delivery performance across a wide range of formulations. The unique, integrated valve and baffle "Flow Dynamic System" enhances fine particle dose delivery to the lung. The sensitivity and resistance of the valve is gauged to the patient population targeted by the AeroTrach Plus® VHC.
  • The sensitivity and resistance of the AeroTrach Plus® VHC valve is designed to operate at minimal resistance thresholds.
  • Exhalation is directed away from the patient's eyes for increased delivery safety. Certain formulations might cause unwanted ocular side effects if there is contact with the aerosolized medication.
  • AeroTrach Plus® VHC utilizes a 149-ml. chamber that is made from a unique, flexible, shatter resistant polymer blend, which improves aerodynamics and facilitates particle size selectivity to ensure the maximum fine particle dose. 
  • Clear, easy to follow instructions available.

 

A recent paper in the journal of Laryngology and Otology, pointed out that the tracheostomy patient population has not been able to take advantage of pMDI technology. This is because no other spacer/holding chamber is specifically designed for this application. Until now this patient group has mostly been treated by cumbersome and less efficient small volume nebulizers.

AeroTrach Plus® VHC has been specifically designed to be effective in delivering aerosols during the inspiratory phase, to spontaneously breathing patients who use a standard tracheostomy tube with a 15mm connector. The product incorporates the same unique valve and baffle system found in the AeroChamber Plus® VHC to ensure optimum fine particle aerosol delivery from most pMDIs.   Its unique clear Comfort Right Fitadapter ensures visibility of any discharge, indicating the need for additional cleaning of the device.
