LiteAire® valved holding chamber for pMDI drug delivery is an innovative and effective alternative to plastic holding chambers when performance, portability, and storage are critical.

LITEAIRE is a pop-up spacer constructed of paperboard, with an internal volume of 160 cc. FDA cleared, the LITEAIRE spacer’s pMDI drug delivery performance is as effective as plastic spacers. LITEAIRE is supplied flat in a dispenser box of 25 devices, measuring less than a box of tissues for easy storage in health offices. When your students need their pMDI treatment, LITEAIRE easily pops up and can be reused by the same student over multiple doses.

LITEAIRE Valved Holding Chamber is the ideal solution for a compact spacer when storage is an issue and portability a must: first aid kits, crisis management Go Bags, field trips and athletic bags.
