  • Publication number: 20250108046
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition in the form of droplets for oral administration is disclosed. The pharmaceutical composition is an aqueous solution comprising sodium chloride in an amount of 0.6% to 3% by weight per volume, at least one active ingredient selected from naloxone, yohimbine, albuterol, epinephrine, buprenorphine, and exosomes in an amount of 0.01% to 25% by weight per volume, and having a pH from 3 to 7.5. The composition is converted into droplets with diameters of 0.5 to 5 microns using an atomizer with a vibrating mesh membrane undergoing piezoelectric vibration at a frequency of 25 to 400 kilohertz. The process involves providing the composition in a capsule, inserting the capsule into the atomizer, and activating the atomizer to produce droplets. This system provides precise, efficient, and patient-friendly oral delivery of medications.

  • Patent number: 12171938
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and systems for delivery and administration of pharmaceutical, therapeutic and cosmetic substances to users. The method includes providing a removable capsule having an atomizer, inserting the removable capsule in a channel of a base unit of a device. The channel is in fluid communication with a mixing chamber of the base unit, and the base unit defines openings on the base unit configured to receive a portion of a conduit and a removable air mover unit. Further, the method includes dispensing, using the atomizer, the at least one medication from the removable capsule to the mixing chamber of the base unit, and using the removable air mover unit, causing air and the at least one medication within the mixing chamber to be conveyed from the mixing chamber to the conduit such that air and the at least one medication dispensed from the removable capsule exits the conduit.

  • Patent number: 12156966
    Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering formulations to users using modular device having atomizer and wick assembly are disclosed. A formulation delivery system that includes a mouthpiece with a first attaching structure at one end and a removable cartridge with a second attaching structure that connects to the mouthpiece. The removable cartridge houses an atomizer at its first end and features a wick assembly with a removable cap and a wick made from an absorbent material. The wick, which transports fluid to the atomizer, is connected at one end to the removable cap and at the other end abuts the atomizer. The system also includes a channel within the removable cartridge; this channel extends to the cartridge's first end and houses the wick, while the removable cap is located outside the channel. Additionally, the system incorporates electronics that maintain a removable electrical connection with the cartridge.

  • Patent number: 11944742
    Abstract: A method for veterinary administration of medication to an animal, particularly a horse, is disclosed. The method involves inserting a capsule containing the medication, which is a liquid formulation, into a device connected to a tubular chamber. An atomizer is activated to atomize the medication, producing atomized medication. Before administration, a force is applied to a mask placed over the animal's muzzle, connected to the chamber. The atomized medication is then delivered to the animal. The liquid formulation, in some instances, comprises cells, cellular byproducts, or cell-derived products such as stem cells or products from human mesenchymal stem cells. This formulation may lack preservatives and may encompass peptides, proteins, growth factors, cytokines, exosomes, and extracellular vesicles. The delivery mechanism may involve deflating an air bladder to convey the atomized medication.

  • Patent number: 11925748
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a capsule system for use with a medical device designed to administer atomized medication to patients. The system features a chamber containing the medication and an atomizer at a lower end for efficient drug delivery. Notably, the system incorporates a fluid sensor and electrical contacts to ensure proper operation and medication delivery. The capsule's design includes a housing with an asymmetrical transverse cross-sectional shape for unique fitting, and a tapered wall to direct medication towards the atomizer. The capsule may also connect to an external container or include a stopper for refilling medication. A specific embodiment features two chambers with a rupturing element to facilitate medication transfer. Another embodiment includes a removable container, like a vial, within the first chamber. This novel system provides improvements in accuracy, versatility, and user-friendliness, overcoming limitations in prior art.

  • Publication number: 20240000482
    Abstract: Therapeutics and methods of treatment to repair, preserve and grow cartilage are presented. In addition, systems and methods for delivering a therapeutic to a hard to reach anatomical area, such as, for example, the BCI, are presented. A cannulated delivery device provided with a cutting tip, cutting flutes and threads on its distal end can be provided. Using such an exemplary device, various novel therapies for joint and cartilage repair, preservation and generation can be implemented. The device may have two-needles, with a first cannula/needle, with a finger grip at its distal end, and a longer inner needle to penetrate through the outer needle into the disc, and introduce therapeutics, for example, via a syringe. When provided with a septum at the inner needle's proximal end, the PIARES device is a completely closed system, and its use minimizes trauma.

  • Patent number: 11844900
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for administering medication to conscious or unconscious patients using a device with a tubular chamber. The method involves the use of a device with a tubular chamber, wherein a liquid medication is contained within a capsule. The medication is atomized by activating an atomizer, thereby generating an atomized medication consisting of particles with a maximum diameter of four microns. The atomized medication is then dispensed into the tubular chamber. Using the device, the atomized medication is administered to the patient. In cases of unconsciousness, a resilient air bladder connected to the chamber is partially deflated, allowing air transfer into the chamber. This facilitates the administration of the atomized medication. This method enables effective medication delivery in various emergency scenarios, ensuring appropriate treatment even for unresponsive patients by providing a method of using a device with modular components.
