INHALER ARTICLE HAVING HOLLOW TUBULAR ELEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042146 titled 'INHALER ARTICLE HAVING HOLLOW TUBULAR ELEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an inhaler article and an inhaler system. The inhaler article consists of a cavity, a capsule containing dry powder located in the cavity, and a hollow tubular element positioned downstream of the capsule. The hollow tubular element includes a peripheral portion that defines a hollow inner region and a support element made from a sheet extending from one point at the peripheral portion across the hollow inner region to another point at the peripheral portion. The inhaler system includes the inhaler article and a holder designed to receive the inhaler article.

  • The inhaler article is a device used for inhaling dry powder medication.
  • It consists of a cavity that holds a capsule containing the dry powder medication.
  • Downstream of the capsule, there is a hollow tubular element.
  • The hollow tubular element has a peripheral portion that defines a hollow inner region.
  • A support element made from a sheet extends across the hollow inner region from one point at the peripheral portion to another point.
  • The inhaler system includes the inhaler article and a holder that can hold and support the inhaler article.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Medical inhalers for delivering dry powder medication to patients.
  • Treatment of respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other lung diseases.
  • Can be used in hospitals, clinics, and by individuals at home.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides an efficient and controlled delivery mechanism for dry powder medication.
  • Ensures accurate dosing of medication.
  • Facilitates ease of use for patients, allowing them to self-administer medication.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved patient compliance due to ease of use.
  • Precise and accurate dosing of medication.
  • Portable and convenient for use on-the-go.
  • Reduces the risk of contamination and cross-contamination.
  • Cost-effective compared to other inhaler technologies.
