Researchers reported the drug-free bedside air filter significantly reduced patients’ symptoms such as wheezing and tight chests. The temperature controlled laminar airflow treatment, called Protexo, filters out airborne triggers such as dust particles and mites, pet hairs and powders that cause irritation and inflammation of the lungs. The machine achieved results equivalent to those made by expensive drugs and would lead to less time in hospital.
“This device makes a significant difference to people’s lives, with an effect as big as very expensive treatments, and it helps prevent the triggers of the disease,” said Prof John Warner, a consultant pediatrician at St Mary’s Hospital and professor of pediatrics at Imperial College London, who led the study.
