Systems and devices for generating nitric oxide
Various systems and devices for generating nitric oxide are disclosed herein. According to one embodiment, the device includes a body having an inlet, an outlet, and a porous solid matrix positioned with the body. The porous solid matrix is coated with an aqueous solution of an antioxidant, wherein the inlet is configured to receive a gas flow and fluidly communicate the gas flow to the outlet through the solid matrix to convert nitrogen dioxide in the gas flow into nitric oxide. The porous solid matrix allows the device to be used in any orientation. Additionally, the porous solid matrix provides a rigid structure suitable to withstand vibrations and abuse without compromising device functionality.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING HIGH-CONCENTRATION, LOW-TEMPERATURE NITRIC OXIDE
A device and method for forming NO-containing gas flow to treat a biological object is disclosed. The device may include an anode, a cathode, an interelectrode area between the cathode and the anode, an NO-containing gas flow outlet channel leading from the interelectrode area to a nozzle for directing and releasing the NO-containing gas flow from the device and a mechanism to adjust a relative position between the anode and the cathode to produce varying concentrations of NO. In addition, the device may include one or more features for interconnecting the various components to ensure proper and consistent assembly of the device.

NITRIC OXIDE GENERATING SYSTEMS FOR NASAL INHALATION
An NO generating system for nasal inhalation includes a nose vent plug, which includes a nitric oxide (NO) impermeable housing and a receptacle. The NO impermeable housing has integrally formed walls that define a partially enclosed interior portion; two nasal protrusions extending from one of the integrally formed walls and in fluid communication with the partially enclosed interior portion; and an air vent defined in another of the integrally formed walls to introduce air flow into the partially enclosed interior portion. The receptacle is in the partially enclosed interior portion, and contains an NO generating formulation or is to receive an NO generating formulation.
Compositions and methods for treating diseases or disorders using extended release nitric oxide releasing solutions
The present invention relates to a liquid nitric oxide releasing solution (NORS) comprised of at least one nitric oxide releasing compound and at least one acidifying agent, wherein the NORS provides an extended release of a therapeutically effective amount of nitric oxide gas (gNO). The present invention also relates to a liquid NORS comprised of at least one nitrite compound having a concentration of no greater than about 0.5% w/v and at least one acidifying agent, wherein the NORS releases a therapeutically effective amount of gNO. The present invention also relates to a method for the treatment of a wound in a human, the method comprising administering to the human a liquid NORS comprised of at least one nitric oxide releasing compound and at least one acidifying agent, wherein the NORS provides an extended release of a therapeutically effective amount of gNO. The present invention also relates to a method for the treatment, prevention, or reduction of incidence of a disease or disorder in a human in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the human a liquid NORS comprised of at least one nitrite compound at a concentration of no greater than about 0.5% w/v and at least one acidifying agent, wherein the NORS releases a therapeutically effective amount of gNO.
