Product info
"Healthcare professionals are always looking to utilise new and innovative resources in the management of their patients...."
The Funhaler has been specifically designed for children and incorporates an incentive module with a spinning disc and whistle, encouraging children to take their medication by making it fun and entertaining. Parents also benefit from use of the Funhaler as their child's correct breathing technique ensures proper medication.

How does it work?

It's just so simple and easy to use......

Place the Funhaler mouthpiece in the child's mouth or if using the mask, place the mask over the child's mouth and nose. The Funhaler's unique internal spinner and whistle encourages the child to breathe normally. Whilst the child is breathing through the Funhaler the parent applies the correct medication dosage. The child enjoys the sound of the whistle and watches Wally the Whale spin during inhalation and exhalation.
