Collapsable Asthma Inhaler Expansion Chamber (CAIEC)

thingiverse

I designed a device to optimize the performance of inhalers for asthma, ensuring compactness when carried in a pocket or purse. Upon discovering that the expansion changer provided by my pharmacy wasn't covered by my insurance, costing $40, I realized it was overpriced and unnecessary. This led me to create an alternative solution that could be just as effective. After researching available options on Thingiverse, I found them lacking, so I took matters into my own hands and designed a custom expansion chamber. Through iterations, I refined the design until it met my needs and now serves as my go-to inhaler accessory. I believe this tool can greatly enhance medication delivery in inhalers, making it accessible to more individuals; thus, I encourage others to explore printable options that make it easier for everyone to benefit from this innovation.
