An advanced medical device: the Top-Spacer nebulisation chamber for horses

An effective interface for treating the respiratory tract

Lung health remains a major priority for maintaining the sporting capabilities of the high-level equine. Using a nebulisation chamber for horses becomes essential to treat conditions such as equine asthma. The Top-Spacer from the Greenpex laboratory allows standard metered-dose inhalers (MDI) to be adapted to the horse's morphology. This device creates a reservoir where the veterinary medicine particles remain suspended before inhalation. This technology ensures that the active ingredient penetrates deep into the bronchi and pulmonary alveoli. Without this adapter, a large part of the treatment would evaporate or remain blocked in the upper airways. The Top-Spacer therefore ensures precise administration and reduces the waste of costly veterinary medicines.

GREENPEX expertise for respiratory comfort

The GREENPEX laboratory designed the Top-Spacer to offer perfect ergonomics during daily care. This nebulisation chamber for horses attaches directly to one of your animal's nostrils. It is compatible with the majority of pressurised sprays prescribed by veterinarians for respiratory inflammations. Its robust structure withstands repeated handling in the demanding environment of stables. The device allows the horse to breathe naturally while receiving its therapeutic dose without stress. This equipment is particularly recommended for horses suffering from emphysema or chronic dust allergies. By choosing the Top-Spacer, you provide a direct care solution that acts instantly on bronchial comfort. It is the essential tool for stabilising the respiratory condition of an athletic horse or an elderly companion.

Why include the Top-Spacer in your veterinary care?

A safe and targeted method of administration

Inhaled treatment offers considerable advantages over conventional systemic treatments. Using a nebulisation chamber for horses allows lower doses to be used for identical efficacy. The active ingredients act locally on the respiratory mucosa, thus limiting side effects on the whole body. The Top-Spacer facilitates the management of acute respiratory crises directly in the stall or at competition grounds. Its maintenance is simple, guaranteeing impeccable hygiene between each respiratory care session. Thanks to this adapter, the owner can strictly follow their veterinarian's protocol without technical difficulty. This is a major advance for the long-term management of horses with chronic lung fragilities.

Frequently asked questions about nebulisation for horses

What is nebulisation used for in a horse's daily life?

Nebulisation via a nebulisation chamber for horses is used to deliver veterinary medicines directly into the lungs. It is commonly used to administer bronchodilators or corticosteroids to reduce inflammation of the bronchi. This process is essential for treating airway obstruction caused by pollen or mould. It immediately improves airflow, thus facilitating the animal's breathing and oxygenation. It is an essential complementary care for sport horses whose performance depends on their breath.

How to effectively use a nebulisation chamber for horses?

Using a nebulisation chamber for horses such as the Top-Spacer requires calm and precision during application. First insert the metered-dose aerosol into the adapter provided for this purpose at the end of the chamber. Then apply the other end against the horse's nostril so as to create a sufficient seal. Trigger a spray and let the horse take several deep breaths to properly inhale the product. It is advisable to accustom the animal to contact with the device before proceeding with the first actual treatment. Regular cleaning with soapy water after each use guarantees the longevity and cleanliness of the equipment.

What is the recommended frequency for nebulising your horse?

The frequency of use of a nebulisation chamber for horses depends strictly on your veterinarian's prescription. As part of a maintenance treatment for equine asthma, sessions may be daily, morning and evening. In the event of an acute crisis, the frequency may increase to quickly relieve the animal's respiratory distress. It is crucial to respect the indicated doses for each spray in order to avoid any overdose. The Top-Spacer allows for regular care that stabilises pulmonary inflammation over time. Regular clinical follow-up makes it possible to adjust the protocol according to the evolution of the respiratory condition.
