A horse inhaler that makes daily stable use easier: featuring two vibrating mesh membranes, a compact design, and no external compressor or air hose.

* Manufacturer specifications from the existing product description; these values are not the subject of the particle size analysis shown below. Design may vary by model.
Fewer accessories, fewer complications: the focus is on a straightforward process and a compact nebulizer unit.
Two vibrating mesh membranes create an aerosol mist from the filled liquid. Particle sizes have been laboratory tested.
No external compressor unit and no air hose connected to the inhaler: practical for use in the stable or on the go.
The low weight and compact design allow for flexible handling around the horse.
EquiAirLite is intended for inhalation in the stable, on the paddock, and on the go. Conceived as part of a veterinary-supervised respiratory therapy, for example for equine asthma. The device does not provide a diagnosis and does not replace treatment.
Horses up to approx. 58 cm muzzle circumference and approx. 800 kg.
Muzzle circumference from approx. 59 to 70 cm. Also suitable for draft horses.
Saline solution and brine are the intended liquids. Other preparations only if they are suitable for vibrating mesh devices and prescribed by the attending veterinarian. Oily or highly viscous solutions can clog the membrane.
Set, shown in grey. Blue and pink versions have the exact same setup.
Commissioned by TRANDADEV UG, an independent testing institute analyzed the aerosol particle sizes of the EquiAirLite® dual-mesh nebulizer unit.
Backgrounds: Orientation of where droplets tend to deposit in mammals (under 5 µm, 5–10, over 10). Not a result of this study.
Bar from Dv10 to Dv90, white marker = Dv50. Scale 0 to 15 µm.
In mammals, as a rough guideline: droplets under approx. 5 µm can reach deeper into the respiratory tract, droplets over approx. 10 µm tend to deposit in the nose, throat, and large bronchi. Equine lungs are not human lungs. This study did not measure deposition in the animal, only the size distribution of the aerosol. For EquiAirLite, half of the volume is below 5.8 µm, ten percent below 2.7 µm, and ninety percent below 11.2 µm.
| Parameter | Measured value |
|---|---|
| Dv10 | 2.7 µm |
| Dv50 | 5.8 µm |
| Dv90 | 11.2 µm |
The size distribution of the generated aerosol droplets was measured under defined laboratory conditions using a 0.9% saline solution. The study is a technical measurement, not a clinical efficacy study, and not a regulatory product approval. It is not possible to deduce from these values alone where the aerosol deposits in the equine respiratory tract.
Two vibrating mesh membranes work within the EquiAirLite® nebulizer unit. They nebulize the filled liquid without an external compressed air compressor.
Dv50 is the median of the droplet volume obtained from laser diffractometry. MMAD refers to the mass median aerodynamic diameter. Both parameters are determined using different methods and should not simply be equated.
The mentioned laboratory test was conducted with 0.9% NaCl. Beyond that, only use solutions suitable for the device and recommended by a veterinarian. Check the user manual and clean the nebulizer unit as instructed.
