« Purchase of “renewal” for my 12-year-old girl who is asthmatic since she was 4 years old. For some time, she has been sleeping with two pillows, one of which was not wrapped, and I have noticed a worsening of sneezing. So I try to wrap this 2nd pillow to limit its reaction to mites. Stay tuned…
PS: The rest of the bedding is protected for a long time and I am very satisfied with ProtecSom products. »

2017 : An encouraging year for CombiHaler® !

The year 2017 has been fruitful for CombiHaler®, our spacer for mechanical ventilation circuits. Several scientific publications published this year reveal the eagerness of the scientific community to work with our spacer for mechanical ventilation circuits, developed jointly with “l’Université de Tours”.



By studying the feasibility to connect CombiHaler® on different types of circuits (high flow nasal canula and single-limb non-invasive ventilation), the first 2 articles (Madney, 2017 and Harb, 2017) have opened up new prospects for the use of CombiHaler®.

The last article published in October (Rodriguez, 2017) presents encouraging results for the treatment of pulmonary infections that requires high antibiotics concentrations. By increasing the dose delivered directly de the patients’ lungs, the dose of antibiotics to the site of infection is increased, systemic side effects are reduced, and antibiotic resistance accrual is potentially limited.

This enthusiasm from the scientific community hints at a very bright future for CombiHaler® and its evolutions of our range of spacers for mechanical ventilation.

Valved holding chamber TipsHaler® optimized for lung deposition of inhaled corticosteroids

In order to provide an actual progress to patients as well as caregivers, this initiative represents an opportunity for ProtecSom-OptimHal to introduce the valved holding chamber, TipsHaler®.

TipsHaler® is an innovant medical device which allows to limit upper airway depositions and to promote drug deposition in the deep lung, where the medicine is needed.

 

Mask OrHal® avoids nasal inhalation

Partitioned pediatric mask OrHal® will also be presented, which prevents from medicine deposit in the nose, and allows more deposition of drugs deeper in the lung during inspiration.

 

Dust mite bedding covers : a full fledged medical device

As well as our valved holding chambers, we will also show dust mite bedding covers as Texaal® Coton and Texaal® Polyester as well as Noxaalon® and Noxaalon® Bamboo ProtecSom-OptimHal covers design, manufacturing and control process is ISO 13485 (standard of fabrication for medical devices). It protects patients from dust mite allergens.
