Administer Inhaled Medication Quietly, Easily, Conveniently

The Flexineb E3 is a quick efficient method of inhalant delivery. It is

• a targeted delivery system, directing concentrated medication to the lungs and small airways.
• an easy-to-use drug delivery device that produces a very fine mist of aerosolised inhalant for the horse.
• robust and silent to ensure the horse is not disturbed.
• available in three sizes of silicone mask.
• compact, portable and battery operated for use where mains electricity may not be readily available.
• totally silent in operation.
• a very efficient device with 10mls of liquid aerosolised in less than twelve minutes.

There aren't any hoses, wires or awkward valves to deal with, keeping the whole experience calm and easy for both stable hand and horse. Commonly, around 10 minutes of treatment is all that is necessary. Up to three hours use from a single charge is normal.

The most frequently occurring lower respiratory tract disorders are:

• Recurrent Airway Obstruction (RAO) also known as Heaves,
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD),
• Inflammatory Airway Disease (IAD) and
• Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Haemorrhage (EIPH).

Typically, their treatment includes frequent systemic administration of drugs.

Flexineb E3 is so effective because the size of the particles of the aerosol is critical to getting it to where it needs to be - in your horses LOWER respiratory tract. The average particle size from the ultrasonic nebuliser is 4 microns for optimum penetration into the small airways.
Flexineb produces 71% of aerosol particles to the size required for the lower respiratory tract. The remaining 29% hit the upper respiratory tract & trachea. Most other nebuliser companies wont tell you how much aerosol gets to the lower lung.

Additionally Flexineb can be used to administer metered-dose inhalants using the MDI adapter. Treatment can be completed

• within fifteen minutes leaving more time for exercise and training.
• by the owner, reducing the need for visits from a veterinarian.

Flexineb E3 is available as

• Full Nebuliser System for both MDI (metered dose inhalant) and wet nebulisation.

A full range of spares is available.

Minimise the risks associated with medications having with-holding periods.

Because dope & drug testing is done at a molecular level these days, you cannot afford to have any carry-over of a banned substances when preparing an animal for a competitions or racing. That means hygiene and cleanliness are paramount to avoid costly and embarrassing mistakes being made. To lessen the risk even further, we recommend using different coloured masks for different types of inhalant.

We suggest, therefore, that the green mask be reserved for inhalants and therapies that do not have a withholding period. Store the Green Mask and the associated med cups with only those inhalants. The system still needs to be maintained hygienically, but provided everyone (stable hands included) plays the game, there will not be any embarrassing cross contamination and hence disqualifications and subsequent penalties. Mistakes will still occur of course but you will have done as much as you can to minimise the risk.

You will need regular training of, and reminders to, all staff to maintain the standard.

You can then use the other coloured masks (Blue and Pink) with other medication groups as you deem necessary. It is all about careful medication administration pre competition and giving your stable hands a very clear visual prompt as to which system to use.

We recommend that you regularly consult your veterinarian for advice regarding diagnosis and treatment protocol for your horse.
