Our patent-pending device enables the efficient delivery of medication from a metered-dose inhaler to a child's lungs. It combines a valved holding chamber for medication with a mask that fits snugly on a child's face.

Uniquely, this device is produced from inexpensive materials as a single flat sheet that can be easily assembled by the user. This design strategy makes our device inexpensive to produce and distribute and thus makes it available to many patients who could not afford existing alternatives.
