A transdermal delivery system: a delivery device; a band configured to connect the delivery device to a body part of a user, the delivery device comprising: a delivery chamber that is configured to receive a substance and a heating chamber configured to heat the substance in the delivery chamber so that the substance is liquified, vaporized, or both and exits the delivery chamber into contact with the body part of the user so that the substance is transdermally absorbed.

A micro-dosing oil dispenser with the ability to dispense multiple doses after the user rapidly depresses a dispensing button. The oil dispenser may vibrate upon completion of the doses. The oil dispenser may have a felt tip for better absorption.

The inhalation device for medically active liquids (F) for generation of an aerosol comprises a housing (1), a reservoir (2), a pumping device with a pumping chamber (3), and a nozzle (6), wherein the interior volume of the pumping chamber (3) is changeable by means of linear relative motion of the pumping chamber to the riser pipe (5). Said linear relative motion can be effected by a relative rotation of a rotatable part (1A) which is part of, or connected to, the housing (1) with respect to a second part (1B) of said housing (1), in that said relative rotation can be transferred by means of a gear mechanism into said relative translational motion. A means for the storage of potential energy (7) is provided which is chargeable by means of said relative rotation, and wherein said energy is releasable to said pumping device when released by activation of a release means. A blocking device is provided which is adapted to block activation of the release means and/or release of the means for the storage of potential energy (7) during rotation of the rotatable part (1A) and/or during loading of the means for the storage of potential energy (7). Also, a method for the prevention of undesired emission of medically active liquid or aerosol from an inhalation device is disclosed.

A curcumin entrained vapor generator providing the release of an essence, or compound or substances, from a solid or powder or liquid into a vapor exiting the generator, comprising a container having an interior volume and a region disposed to contain a liquid which emits or forms a vapor, and an openable closed end distal from said contained liquid. An interior support formed to support material (e.g. curcumin or other) thereon and is included and has a plurality of openings, and is dimensioned less than said container interior dimension across said container liquid to form a large vapor passage allowing the essence of the included material to be gently released into the vapor of the liquid and released into the external environment via the container openings. Other embodiments include esthetically shaped support structures, e.g. a leaf, a plant twig-like arms, etc. and/or graphic overlays, etchings, engravings, etc.

A steam therapy assembly includes a housing that has an intake and an exhaust to pass air through the intake and the exhaust. A water tank is removably attachable to the housing and the water tank has a fluid port to pass water therethrough for filling the water tank with water. An oil cartridge contains oil and the oil cartridge is removably insertable into the housing. A vaporizing unit is integrated into the housing and the vaporizing unit is in fluid communication between the intake and the exhaust to urge air into the intake and outwardly through the exhaust when the vaporizing unit is turned on. The vaporizing unit vaporizes the water in the water tank into a steam. Additionally, the vaporizing unit vaporizes the oil in the oil cartridge thereby mixing the vaporized oil with the vaporized water.

Embodiments of a syringe-based device for procuring bodily fluid samples can include a housing having a port that can be coupled to a lumen-defining device for receiving bodily fluids, an actuator mechanism retained at least partially within the housing, the actuator mechanism including a pre-sample reservoir, a plunger operably coupled with pre-sample reservoir, a plunger cap, a plunger tube, a valve, a plunger seal, an a selectively attachable collection vial for capturing a bodily fluid sample.

The present invention provides for a method for the treatment of a viral disease, disorder or condition in a subject, the method comprising the step of administering to said subject a medically active liquid in nebulized form by inhalation, wherein the medically active liquid comprises remdesivir or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and wherein the medically active liquid is administered in nebulized form using an inhalation device.

A vacuum regulator device having a vacuum regulator and a vacuum gauge on a housing line that is configured to be in fluid communication with a patient include an electronic valve that selectively opens and closes the housing line. The vacuum gauge is located between the vacuum regulator and the patient and includes an electronic flow sensor upstream. The electronic flow sensor provides feedback to the vacuum regulator.

A dry pharmaceutical composition is provided that is suitable for respiratory tract delivery of levodopa and DDI for treatment of Parkinson's disease or Parkinson syndrome. The dry pharmaceutical composition comprises levodopa, a dopa decarboxylase inhibitor (DDI) and at least one excipient. A unit dosage form of the dry pharmaceutical composition and a method of treating a patient with Parkinson's disease or Parkinson syndrome by administering the dry pharmaceutical composition are also provided.

Cartridges have a cartridge body configured to store a formulation, a formulation valve disposed in the cartridge body, and an air valve disposed in the cartridge body. The cartridge is configured to dispense the formulation through the formulation valve when the formulation valve and the air valve are each in an open state, and to not dispense the formulation when the formulation valve and the air valve are in a closed state.
