Neb - Mask

Neb - Mask

Nebulizer Mask is a face mask interface for nebulizer medication delivery, designed for patients — particularly young children, the elderly, or those with limited cooperation — who cannot reliably hold a mouthpiece in place during nebulized treatment. The mask delivers medicated mist over the nose and mouth throughout the breathing cycle.

Masks are available in adult and pediatric sizes and attach to standard nebulizer T-pieces. OxyCare supplies nebulizer masks alongside complete nebulizer setups and as standalone replacement accessories.
