inhalator
Airway delivery apparatus
An inhalator is a device for administering medication or other substances through inhalation.
The term is now largely displaced by inhaler in medical contexts, though inhalator persists in some technical and industrial applications: emergency oxygen inhalators, anesthesia inhalators.
