    Abstract: A disposable atomizer device for directing a liquid into or on the body of a patient. The atomizer device includes a container for holding a liquid, and a liquid inlet tube disposed in the container. An atomizing nozzle is in communication with the liquid inlet tube. A gas inlet tube is in communication with the nozzle and is attachable to a source of compressed gas. The atomizer device includes a trigger valve system adjacent to the gas inlet tube for providing controlled release of compressed gas from the gas inlet tube to the atomizing nozzle. The trigger valve system includes a needle valve positioned in a needle support surrounded by a valve housing with a cap.
