Jackson Membrane

Jackson membrane is the American version of Jones membrane, which is used to treat respiratory diseases such as influenza and pneumonia. It is a structure consisting of two layers of artificial polymer material connected to each other with glue.

Jackson created the membrane in 1952, but it was not widely used until after World War II. After a doctor saw the difficulties of using rubber bags to combat respiratory diseases in wounded soldiers, he began to develop a membrane.

At the beginning of its appearance, the membrane was intended to treat pneumonia. It was a more effective and convenient method of treatment than outdated methods of using rubber bags, such as injecting antibiotics into the pleura. Even now, Jackson's membrane is one of the most effective methods of treating pneumonia: the infectious agent gets between the layers of membranes, thereby reducing its concentration in the inhaled air. Such a membrane can remain in the body for 4-7 days, which contributes to
