摘要:
Liquid nanoscale particle precursor materials for generating nanoscale particles include at least one high volatility carrier and a second component. A nanoscale particle generating device generates nanoscale particles by passing a liquid nanoscale particle precursor material through a flow passage heated to convert the carrier into a vapor and the second component into nanoscale particles. The nanoscale particles preferably consist essentially of the second component and can consist essentially of dry, solid particles. The particle generator can be incorporated in a hand held inhaler, and can be delivered to a targeted portion of the lung using the inhaler. Composite controlled release particles of micron or nanoscale size can be produced by flowing a solution of medicament, control release agent and carrier liquid through a capillary heater.
摘要:
Liquid aerosol formulations for generating aerosols include at least one high volatility carrier and a second component. In some embodiments, the liquid aerosol formulation is propellant free. An aerosol generating device generates an aerosol by passing liquid aerosol formulation through a flow passage heated to convert the liquid into a vapor, which is mixed with air to form an aerosol. In some embodiments, particles of the aerosol consist essentially of the second component. The aerosol generator can be incorporated in a hand held inhaler. The aerosol can be delivered to a targeted portion of the lung using the inhaler.

摘要:
An aerosol generating device generates an aerosol having a desired particle size by passing a liquid through a flow passage heated to convert the liquid into a vapor. The flow passage includes an outlet section that controls the exit velocity of the vapor and produces an aerosol with a desired particle size. The aerosol generator can be incorporated in a hand held inhaler, and the liquid can include a medicament, which is delivered to a targeted portion of the lung using the inhaler.
