"The case is made from PA12 nylon through selective laser sintering, a polymer grade found in aerospace and medical implant applications. At just 1mm of wall thickness, it wraps tightly around the Ventolin Evohaler without adding bulk, and the slightly grainy, matte surface gives it a tactile quality that immediately separates it from the cheap silicone sleeves floating around online."
"Two halves snap together through concealed magnets, each only 0.85mm thick, so there are no visible clips or latches breaking up the surface. Subtle contours across the grip area help with one-handed use, which is the kind of detail you appreciate when you're having a mid-asthma episode and fumbling isn't really an option."
"What genuinely sets the Flow apart, though, is laser engraving. You can add a name or even upload a custom image, like a pet illustration, etched permanently into the nylon. For a parent buying one for a child with asthma, that turns a medical necessity into something personal, something a kid might actually feel proud."
The hale Flow is a colored SLS nylon inhaler case designed by Matthew Conlon, who created it from his own experience with asthma. Made from PA12 nylon through selective laser sintering—a material used in aerospace and medical applications—the case features a 1mm wall thickness that fits snugly around Ventolin Evohaler without bulk. Two halves connect via concealed 0.85mm magnets with no visible clips, while subtle grip contours support one-handed operation. Available in three colorways at £29, the case distinguishes itself through laser engraving capabilities, allowing personalization with names or custom images. This transforms the inhaler from a purely clinical tool into a personal accessory that users feel comfortable carrying and displaying.
