Ultrasonic Nebulizer

As you can see, the differences can have a big effect on your nebulizer treatment. For those who are looking for the most up to date technology, check out vibrating mesh technology (VMT) with the PORTABLE ULTRASONIC NEBULIZER. It uses vibrating mesh to create an aerosol. This is the best of both worlds because it is silent but does not add any heat to the medication. Remember to check with your health care provider if you have any questions about what kind of nebulizer would work best for your treatment.
