A spacer is used with a metered dose inhaler (MDI) to enhance the delivery of medication to the lungs. It allows for better coordination between inhalation and the release of the medication, reducing the risk of the medicine being deposited in the mouth or throat. This device also helps to slow down the aerosolized medication, allowing for deeper inhalation and improving overall lung deposition, which can increase the effectiveness of the treatment.
