Final-year pharmacy students at Karachi University (UoK) have proudly introduced the world’s smallest rechargeable nebulizer, a groundbreaking innovation for respiratory therapy. This ultra-portable device, measuring less than an inch wide, offers a convenient solution for those with breathing difficulties. Designed for on-the-go use, this rechargeable nebulizer operates for 35 minutes on a single charge and can last up to two days between charges.
Eco-Friendly and Affordable Solution
Built from eco-friendly bioplastics, the Karachi University students’ nebulizer addresses the growing need for compact, sustainable medical devices. Perfect for people on the move, the device is ideal for use in various settings, including offices, travel, and home environments.
Cost-Effective for Wider Access
This new rechargeable nebulizer comes at a fraction of the price of traditional bulky models, which typically cost between Rs 8,000 and Rs 10,000. Priced under Rs 2,000, the nebulizer is set to make respiratory therapy more accessible for those who may struggle with asthma, chest infections, and other respiratory conditions. According to the project’s group leader, this innovation particularly benefits children and elderly patients who rely on portable, quiet, and efficient respiratory therapy.
Pioneering Innovation in Medical Devices
With this development, Karachi University students aim to redefine accessibility in respiratory care. By introducing the world’s smallest rechargeable nebulizer, they are paving the way for innovative, cost-effective healthcare solutions that cater to diverse needs.
