Abstract

A membrane nebulizer for producing aerosol in an aerosol therapy device includes a membrane having several through-holes for nebulizing a fluid; and a laminar carrier having an opening, the membrane being arranged in the opening and fastened to the carrier in such a way that the nebulizing occurs on a first side of the carrier and the fluid is present at the membrane on the opposite second side of the carrier, wherein the membrane is welded to the carrier by means of a resistance welding method.
