How does the Flexineb E3 deliver medication, and why is this effective?
The Flexineb E3 converts prescribed medications or saline into a fine mist that the horse breathes directly into its airways, enhancing delivery deep into the lungs. A flexible mask seals gently over the muzzle, increasing inhalation efficiency. This targeted approach helps manage airway inflammation and respiratory conditions more effectively than oral or injectable routes by acting right at the site of need.
What respiratory issues can Flexineb E3 help address in horses?
Horses commonly experience respiratory conditions like Recurrent Airway Obstruction (RAO), Inflammatory Airway Disease (IAD), and Exercise‑Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH). By delivering aerosolized drugs and natural therapies directly to the lungs, Flexineb E3 supports airway clearance and may improve breathing comfort, exercise tolerance, and overall respiratory health when used under veterinary guidance.
Can I walk my horse while using the Flexineb E3?
Yes. Because the Flexineb E3 is silent and portable with a rechargeable battery, you can place it on your horse while walking or moving around in a calm environment. This flexibility can support deeper breathing and make the session more comfortable for horses that prefer gentle activity during use.
What should I consider when cleaning and maintaining my Flexineb E3?
After each use, clean the medication cup with distilled water and a drop of mild dish soap, then air dry to protect the delicate mesh. Disinfect the mask and parts with approved wipes or mild disinfectants. Avoid harsh chemicals and immersing electronics. Regular cleaning prevents residue buildup, helps maintain performance, and ensures safe, effective use.
How often should I replace the nebulizer cup?
The medication cup contains a gold‑plated mesh that gradually wears with use. When used with saline only, it may last up to about 100 procedures, but medicated or thicker solutions decrease lifespan. Regular replacement ensures consistent aerosol quality and reliable dosing, helping maintain treatment effectiveness and avoid compromised respiratory care.
