Product Launch

After several challenging months, the Metered Dose Inhaler project has finally concluded! We now present to you the final product, ready for launch...

Introducing Buffer - the metered dose spacer! In trying to address the issue of Asthma sufferers not correctly using their inhalers, we've managed to combine the portability and simplicity of a standard inhaler with the added benefit of a spacer. The result retains ALL of the benefits of the regular inhaler-spacer system, but in a compact, robust, stylish, fun, and more sustainable way.

The Buffer features a clear polycarbonate body, making it super easy to identify it at a glance. The salbutamol canister is highly visible, and is already commonly recognised by most people.

The contemporary styling makes it a personal totem; something you can carry around without shame. The Buffer is also designed for continuous re-use - simply give it a wash (which is dead simple) and replace the canister. As mentioned, regular washing is simple, as there are only two parts. Just pull the silicone spacer off the main body and wash with warm soapy water! In addition to regular washing, the buffer is designed to stay hygienic effortlessly; the mouthpiece is completely concealed in its collapsed form, leaving no openings for dust or dirt to accumulate inside the inhaler. To open, simply pull on the front tab with either your teeth or fingers!

And last but not least, its still simple. Theres still only four steps to use; pull, shake, spray, breathe.





 

Is space really still the final frontier?
