Abstract

Aerosol therapy is a modern method of instrumental therapy that aims to deliver medication to the patient’s respiratory tract in the form of an inhaled aerosol. Nebulizers are the oldest form of aerosol generation. Although they have been in common use for many years, their fundamental design and performance have changed little over the past 25 years. The development of mesh nebulizer technology has expanded the ability to deliver medical aerosols to infants and young children via nasal cannula and tubing. Benchmarking analysis identified several critical deficiencies in existing portable mesh nebulizer designs, particularly related to ergonomic handling and aesthetics. This study aimed to develop a design with a stronger and more durable outer frame, which is ergonomically comfortable to hold and visually appealing, to improve the user experience and increase the appeal of this medical device. The methodology in this study was based on the Karl Ulrich product design and development method. Seven design concepts were created using CAD and the prototyping process used 3D printing from PLA.
