  • Dry powder inhaler
    Patent number: 8561609
    Abstract: A dry powder inhaler includes a chamber holding an actuator to which a powdered medicament is adhered. Air is drawn into the chamber through an inlet flow channel and exits through an outlet flow channel. The actuator oscillates in response to the air flow, dislodging powdered medicament to be entrained in the air flow and delivered to the patient. A retaining member prevents the actuator from exiting the chamber. Thus, the medicament may be delivered to the patient without the use of carrier particles.

  • INHALER TO DELIVER SUBSTANCES FOR PROPHYLAXIS OR PREVENTION OF DISEASE OR INJURY CAUSED BY THE INHALATION OF BIOLOGICAL OR CHEMICAL AGENTS
    Publication number: 20130213397
    Abstract: A dry powder inhaler may include a powder storage region, an inlet channel, a dispersion chamber, and an outlet channel. A geometry of the inhaler may be such that a flow profile is generated within the dispersion chamber that causes an actuator to oscillate, enabling the actuator when oscillating to deaggregate powdered medicament within the dispersion chamber to be aerosolized and entrained by the air and delivered to a patient through the outlet channel.
