There are two different types of nebulizer designs.  The most common is the compressor nebulizer.   This type uses an aerosol compressor to vaporize droplets of medicine which are inhaled through the use of a nebulizer kit and mouthpiece (or sometimes a mask).  Perfect for using at home.

The other type is the ultrasonic nebulizer.  This design uses high-frequency sound waves to turn liquid medicine into a mist which is then inhaled using the same nebulizer kit.  The results are the same, but Ultrasonic nebulizers tend to be quieter, more portable, and usually deliver medications quicker for shorter treatment times.  

We have both types available for you to choose from.
