Patent number: 11883580Abstract: A nebulizer for nebulizing a fluid from a cartridge and a cartridge for such a nebulizer is proposed. The cartridge comprises a container containing the fluid to be nebulized and is fluidically connected to the nebulizer by inserting a connecting element of the nebulizer for conveying the fluid out of the container. The cartridge is preferably adapted to sealingly receive the connecting element and can optionally comprise a membrane or sealing wall which seals the cartridge initially and is piercable or breakable by the connecting element upon insertion. The cartridge can further comprise an at least partially flexible and/or bendable tube for conveying the fluid out of the container. The tube is preferably wettable with the fluid and/or comprises an at least partially hydrophilic and/or polar surface. Further, the tube can at least partially be shaped as a helix.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM INTERNATIONAL GMBHInventors: Stephen Terence Dunne, Joachim Carl Herbert Eicher, Herbert Graessl, Andree Jung, Gilbert Wuttke
