Inhalation therapy saline solution, isotonic

90 devices · GMDN 44746

Inhalation therapy saline solution (isotonic) is a sterile, water-based liquid designed to hydrate the airways and thin respiratory secretions. Clinically, it is used to relieve dryness in patients exposed to dry environments or medical gases, and to help clear mucus in conditions like bronchitis or post-surgery care. When nebulized, it adds moisture to inhaled air, improving comfort and airway function.

These solutions are single-use, non-medicated devices typically regulated as medical devices rather than drugs. They are supplied in pre-filled containers with nebulizer adaptors and must meet strict sterility and isotonicity standards. Availability varies by region, with some markets requiring specific labeling or manufacturing controls.
