Patent number: 9713682Abstract: The invention relates to a device 1 for dosing and dry nebulization of nebulizable material 12 chosen from the group comprising anti-infective agents and immunomodulators, comprising a nebulization channel 3, which has a first attachment piece and a second attachment piece, and a source of compressed carrier gas connected to the first attachment piece via a valve 16 for the purpose of sending a carrier gas pressure pulse into the nebulization channel. The device is characterized in that between the first attachment piece and second attachment piece, and above the nebulization channel, a reservoir 10 open only towards the nebulization channel, which contains the nebulizable material 12, is connected to the nebulization channel such that it is gas-tight with respect to the environment, and that, when the valve is closed, a pressure compensation takes place in the nebulization channel and in the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2006Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Klaus Eistetter, Wilhelm Wurst, Gerhard Pohlmann, Horst Windt, Oliver Nolte, Wolfgang Koch

Patent number: 9545490Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to a device for dosing and aerosolization of aerosolizable material. The device includes a body with an aerosolization channel with a distal attachment for connecting a source of carrier gas. The carrier gas provides pressure pulses to the aerosolization channel. A proximal attachment allows the aerosolized material to move to a reservoir for receiving the aerosolizable material. The reservoir is connected to the body via the the aerosolization channel. At least part of the walls of the device are self-exciting membranes that can be put into oscillation by the pressure pulses.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2014Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: TAKEDA GMBHInventors: Peter Iwatschenko, Gerhard Pohlmann, Horst Windt, Wolfgang Koch, Michel Kist
