  • Effective delivery of nanoparticles and micrometer-sized pharmaceutical aerosols to the lung through enhanced condensational growth
    Patent number: 8479728
    Abstract: Methods and devices for inhalation therapy to deliver and embed (deposit) particles less than about 1 ?m in diameter in the lung. High humidity treatment of the lungs causes condensational growth in particle size upon entering the lungs. Increased particle size is conducive to particle embedment (deposition) in deep lung tissue or at a specific targeted lung region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 18, 2009
    Date of Patent: July 9, 2013
    Assignee: Virginia Commonwealth University
    Inventors: Philip Worth Longest, Jinxiang Xi, Michael Hindle
