Suppliers of one litre rigid container of sterile water for inhalation

Hello down there,

We just learned that Vyaire discontinued the distribution to Canada of the 1L sterile water rigid plastic bottle we were using with our Optiflow nasal high flow therapy as a risk mitigation for 1 L bags. This was our only source of this format from Canada. Wondering if anyone has alternative source in your country we could inquire with the manufacturer for distribution here?

Two litre bags are not ideal for the respiratory therapist because of the added weight and possibly increasing waste, but remain an option.

Thanks!
