Uptech Go Child is an inhaler spacer designed to help children use pressurised metered-dose inhalers more effectively. It features a 350ml holding chamber and is designed for use with a compatible inhaler.
The spacer provides a chamber where the medication aerosol can be held briefly before inhalation. This makes it easier for children who may struggle to coordinate pressing an inhaler and breathing in at the same time.
Using a spacer can help improve the delivery of inhaled medication to the lungs while reducing the amount deposited in the mouth and throat.
The device is suitable for children who require inhaled treatment for asthma or other respiratory conditions managed with compatible metered-dose inhalers. It is a drug-delivery accessory and does not contain medication itself.
