Carefusion HS81111 - Pediatric Advantage Mask Small Size, Soft-Fit Silicone for Ages 018 Months, Compatible with OptiChamber Valved Holding Chambers, 10 EA/CS
The CareFusion HS81111 Pediatric Advantage Mask is a small, soft-seal inhalation mask designed for infants and toddlers aged approximately 0 to 18 months. Created to pair with OptiChamber Valved Holding Chambers (VHCs), this mask enables accurate and comfortable administration of aerosolized medication via metered-dose inhalers (MDIs). Its ergonomic design features a flexible silicone edge that gently conforms to small facial contours while maintaining a reliable seal with minimal pressure.
Intended for children who are too young to use a mouthpiece effectively, the HS81111 mask ensures effective therapy by delivering medication directly to the nose and mouth with improved inhalation efficiency. Its clear construction provides visibility of the patients breathing and mask placement, allowing for accurate alignment and real-time monitoring during therapy.
Ideal for treating pediatric respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, or wheezing, the mask is made with medical-grade, latex-free materials and is intended for single-patient use to support infection control protocols in both clinical and home environments.
Key Benefits:
Child-Friendly Fit: Specifically designed for infants and small children with a soft, pliable silicone edge that molds gently to the face for a secure, leak-resistant seal.
Optimized Medication Delivery: Reduces dead space and improves the efficiency of aerosol therapy by directing inhaled medication into both nasal and oral airways.
Transparent Design: Clear mask body allows caregivers and clinicians to visually confirm placement and observe breathing patterns.
Secure Seal with Minimal Pressure: Soft-seal edge promotes better compliance and comfort during treatment, reducing resistance or distress from the child.
Durable and Reusable for Single Patient: Maintains form and performance over repeated uses for one patient, minimizing waste and increasing value.
