Karachi university students create world's smallest nebuliser | The Express Tribune
Final-year students at the Pharmacy Department of the University of Karachi have introduced the world’s smallest rechargeable nebuliser, designed to provide on-the-go respiratory therapy for patients with breathing issues.
The device, which is less than an inch wide, runs for up to 35 minutes on a single charge that can last for two days before needing a recharge.
The students said the device, which is eco-friendly and made from bioplastics, is ideal for use in offices or during Travel.
Equipped with micro-USB and USB-C charging capabilities, the wireless, soundproof nebuliser offers patients discreet and portable respiratory support.
Group leader Abdul Rahman noted that standard nebulisers in the market are often bulky, noisy, and priced at around Rs 8,000 to Rs 10,000, while their innovative device costs less than Rs 2,000.
The team hopes their affordable and environmentally-friendly invention will make respiratory therapy accessible to more people, especially children and elderly patients suffering from asthma or chest infections.
The nebuliser was developed by Abdul Rahman Siddiqui, Taha Ishaq, Syed Waliuddin, Syeda Arshiya, Zohaib Salman, Maham Zaidi, Priyan Khan, and Tuba Saleem, who aim to tackle pressing healthcare challenges in Pakistan.
