Hey

this might be a dumb question but does anyone know if they have redesigned the inhaler? I think this could be an interesting project- it is such a mundane item that I wonder if we could make more esthetically pleasing or more portable? I would like to know if anyone has 'designer' medical equipment. Do famous people use the same plastic things we do?

If anyone has insight into this, I'm just curious.

Thank you

Hi @faroes

How are you today?

What an interesting question! I don't think I have ever seen a "Celebs, they are just like us" tabloid with someone using an inhaler. Cool discussion topic. Let me tag a few other members and see what they have to say.

Do you think think they should re-design the inhaler? Do you think the design is fine? What are your thoughts about this ubiquitous medical device?

Take care,

I have a bricanyl reliever inhaler and I love it as all I have to do is twist it, but I have noticed that it looks a little bit like a darlek from Dr who. I also have a brown preventer inhaler, but i can't use it without a spacer as it's too strong for me to use.
