PRESSURE BARRIER DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE
A beneficial agent dispensing device comprises a dispenser body comprising a pressure chamber and at least one dispensing port. A flexible primary container stores the beneficial agent contained within the body. The arrangement is such that pressure in the pressure chamber depress the flexible primary container to expel the beneficial agent through the dispensing port. The beneficial agent dispenser can be configured to deliver the beneficial agent intranasally.
HEAT-NOT-BURN DEVICE AND METHOD
A device for converting a consumable into an aerosol with high heat without burning the consumable by packaging the consumable around a susceptor for inductive heating so as to reduce the oxygen content within the consumable. The susceptor can be a flattened piece of steel wool. The encasement can be a coating applied to the consumable can be packaging inside an encasement through which the aerosol can pass. Efficiency of the to create a porous shell. The device can have a receiver with an airtight seal and an airflow controller to optimize the aerosolizing process. The device can also have a recognition system to detect a sign on the consumable-containing package an execute the appropriate administration protocol.
INTRANASAL DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC OPIOID OVERDOSE DETECTION AND NALOXONE DELIVERY
A wearable-intranasal device for opioid overdose detection via overdose-associated increases of carbon dioxide in exhaled breath, and automatic delivery of naloxone in response. The device comprises a wearable nasal clip with drug reservoir(s) containing naloxone, and a CO.sub.2-sensitive hydrogel occluding or encapsulating the naloxone. The hydrogel transitions from a solid state to a liquid or gas state when exposed to an increase in CO.sub.2, thereby unblocking the drug reservoir(s) and releasing naloxone. The device provides a novel disposable, stimuli-responsive, naloxone delivery system, designed to trigger automatically in response to physical symptoms of an overdose without the need for bystander intervention.
Terpene Inhalant
An inhalant includes an absorbent pad containing a terpene formulation that can calm, energize, open up airways, increase clarity and enhance cognitive function on its own or in conjunction with the cannabis experience including but not limited to converting the THC jitters to a more pleasant mellow experience. The absorbent pad within a vessel to keep formulation and salts stored, A salt adjacent to the absorbent pad within the vessel to emits negative ions so when inhaling through the olfactory passageway it enters the bloodstream and increases serotonin thus giving a sense of well-being.
Smart oscillating positive expiratory pressure device with feedback indicia
A respiratory therapy device having a diagonal feedback array, and methods for the user thereof.
Vaporization device systems and methods
Provided herein are systems and methods to generate an inhalable vapor in an electronic vaporization device. The vaporization device may generate a vapor with one or more defined characteristics. In some cases, the vapor may have a predetermined aerosol number density and/or a predetermined average aerosol diameter. The vaporization device may generate a vapor from a vaporizable material. In some cases, the vaporizable material may be a liquid material housed in a cartridge. The vaporization device may comprise a rechargeable power storage device.
Inhalation device for the purpose of inhalation of a droplet mist
An inhalation device having a reservoir for storing liquid before being discharged, and a discharge head for dispensing the liquid in droplet mist. The discharge head has a nozzle arrangement for generating the droplet mist and housing on which a discharge channel is provided for use as a respiration piece or for attachment of a separate respiration piece. A main axis of extent of the discharge channel encloses an angle of >0° with a central dispensing direction. In alignment with the central dispensing direction of the nozzle arrangement, either an aperture is provided in the housing through which aperture the droplet mist emerges from the discharge head if it is not sucked into the discharge channel by respiration of the user, or a liquid buffer is provided for receiving the droplet mist if it is not sucked into the discharge channel by respiration of the user.
INHALER
An inhaler housing (101, 201, 301, 401, 501) comprises a locating portion configured to receive an aerosolized medication canister (102, 302, 404, 502). The inhaler housing also comprises an outlet (101b, 301b, 501b) comprising a mouth-piece (101c, 303c, 401c, 501c). At least one flow directing element 101d, (301d), 501d is disposed within the housing. The at least one flow directing element is configured to direct a flow of aerosolized medication toward the outlet. A space enclosed by the housing is configured to reduce a velocity of said aerosolized medication prior to said aerosolized medication reaching the outlet for inhalation by a user. An inhaler (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) comprising a similar housing with at least one flow directing element and an aerosolized medication canister is also disclosed.
Valved flexible bag spacer device for a nebulizer
Provided is a spacer device (110) for delivery of drugs via a nebuliser device, the spacer device (110) comprising a bag (112) and a body (118) including inlet (114) and opposed outlet (116), the inlet (114) and opposed outlet (116) being provided on, and integral with, the body (118). The body (118) and bag (112) combine to form chamber (120) for receiving aerosolised medication. The inlet (114) and outlet (116) each are in the form of a port that is in fluid flow communication with the chamber (120). The inlet (114) and outlet (116) define, and are separated by, a broad V-formation formed as part of the body (118). The body (118) further includes an elliptical lower perimeter (118.1) defining flange (118.2), for demountably receiving bag (112).
DOSE MEASURING DEVICE AND METHOD IN INHALERS
A dose measuring device and method in inhalers is provided. The device has an inhalation mouthpiece with an outlet conduit for the passage of inhaled air; a powder sensor measuring the density of solid particles suspended in air inside the outlet conduit; a barometric pressure sensor measuring the pressure of the air inside the outlet conduit; and a control unit detecting an inhalation produced in the inhalation mouthpiece by analyzing the pressure of the air inside the outlet conduit; and calculating, using the combined information of the powder sensor and the pressure signal of the barometric pressure sensor, a dose of solid particles suspended in the inhaled air going through the outlet conduit in the detected inhalation.
