The Porta-Neb nebuliser is widely used within our hospitals and through their recommendations its perfect for home use too.

Porta-Neb has a high capacity piston compressor rated for continuous use so it will meet the highest possible demands without the need for cooling down periods.

Modern design. Easy to keep clean. Large storage compartment. Facility to hold the Drug Chamber (vertical) whilst not in use.

The SideStream option is suitable for all types of medication (bronchodilators, corticosteroids and antibiotics).
However if you are regularly using corticosteroids or antibiotics you may wish to consider the VentStream option which uses a more efficient Drug Chamber that only dispenses the drug when you breath in.

The Porta-Neb SideStream Nebuliser is supplied ready for use and includes:

Nebuliser chamber (10 ml max)
Adult Face Mask
Child Face Mask
Air Line
Inlet Air Filter
4 Replacement Inlet Air Filters included FREE

3 yr Manufacturers Warranty.

All standard Drug Chambers ("Nebuliser" is the more correct term") operate by passing a continual flow of compressed air through a tiny "venturi tube" within the chamber holding the drug to be dispensed.

The drug is dispensed as a continual stream of tiny particles small enough to penetrate deep into your lungs.

Because of the continual stream much of the drug is lost into the atmosphere - this wastage is taken into account when your drug is being prescribed.

Additionally any particles of drug not absorbed by your lungs are also exhaled into the atmosphere.

The SideStream system supplied as standard with your Porta-Neb is an excellent quality and efficient standard design nebuliser.

VentStream is more sophisticated. It also uses compressed air and a venturi tube. However through a system of simple valves it only distributes the drug when you actively breathe in. This produces significantly less waste and a much higher proportion of the drug is inhaled.
VentStream also includes a long vent hose (optional use) so that when you exhale the particles of drug not absorbed can be sent outside via a window or door. This reduces contamination protecting your immediate environment and other people around you.

Ventstream cannot be used with a face mask as you need to breath through the mouthpiece to activate the nebulisation. Ventstream is an option that replaces the standard Sidestream pack.

The VentStream system can be used with any air compressor with a minimum output of 7 litres per minute.
