AEROCHAMBER Plus* VHC

The Clinical Evidence is Clear

For over 20 years, Trudell Medical International has developed, manufactured and marketed some of the world’s most effective aerosol drug delivery devices. Our strength lies in product development around core capabilities in mechanical, electronic and biomedical engineering design, complimented by a state-of-the-art aerosol research laboratory and the experience gained by marketing products into over 96 countries world-wide.

Throughout these past 20 years, over 300 in vivo and in vitro peer-reviewed articles have been published and recognized in journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of Pediatrics, Lancet, Archives of Childhood Diseases, Pediatric Pulmonology and CHEST, to name a few. As a result of the evidence-based clinical application of the AeroChamber* brand of valved holding chambers (VHC), the AeroChamber Plus* VHC has become the world-wide market leader in valved holding chambers and is the only full line of products specifically designed for each patient type.

Studies conclude that the AeroChamber Plus* VHC is effective not only in adults suffering from chronic airway obstruction, but also in infants and children.¹  The results of a study conducted in the UK among asthma sufferers and parents of children with asthma concluded that the AeroChamber* VHC is the preferred choice as it is easy to use, easy to learn, most portable and most modern.²
