| 20090314293 | NASAL DELIVERY - A nasal delivery device for and method of delivering substance to a nasal cavity of a subject, the delivery device comprising: a nosepiece unit ( | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100059053 | APPARATUS CONFIGURED TO REDUCE MICROBIAL INFECTION AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME - A breathing gas delivery system is provided. The system includes a nasal cannula having a lumen and a nasal prong configured to deliver a gas from the lumen and into at least one nare of a patient through the nasal prong. At least one of the lumen and the nasal prong includes an amount of an antimicrobial agent effective to kill or inhibit growth of microorganisms on one or more surfaces of the nasal cannula. A method of delivering a breathing gas to a patient using the nasal cannula is also provided. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20110259329 | DELIVERY DEVICES - A breath-actuated delivery device includes a mouthpiece through which a subject in use exhales, an air channel which is in fluid communication with the mouthpiece, and a flexible diaphragm which is disposed in the air channel. The diaphragm provides for at least a restricted air flow through the air channel until a predeterminable actuation pressure is developed in the mouthpiece, and, on generation of the predeterminable actuation pressure in the mouthpiece, provides for an air flow through the air channel. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20130125889 | Delivery Devices - A breath-actuated delivery device includes a mouthpiece through which a subject in use exhales, an air channel which is in fluid communication with the mouthpiece, and a flexible diaphragm which is disposed in the air channel. The diaphragm provides for at least a restricted air flow through the air channel until a predeterminable actuation pressure is developed in the mouthpiece, and, on generation of the predeterminable actuation pressure in the mouthpiece, provides for an air flow through the air channel. | 05-23-2013 |
| 20140166008 | NASAL DELIVERY - A nasal delivery device for and method of delivering substance to a nasal cavity of a subject, the delivery device comprising: a nosepiece unit including a nosepiece for fitting to a nostril of a subject and a nozzle through which substance is in use delivered, preferably substantially axially to a longitudinal axis of the nosepiece, to the respective nasal cavity, wherein at least a tip element of the nosepiece has, at least in one configuration, an elongate lateral section which has a longer dimension in a first, sagittal direction than a second direction orthogonal to the sagittal direction, such that, when the nosepiece is inserted in the nasal cavity of the subject, the longer dimension of the nosepiece acts to engage lower and upper surfaces of the nasal cavity, preferably at the nasal valve, and expand the same in the sagittal plane; and a delivery unit for delivering substance through the nozzle of the nosepiece. | 06-19-2014 |
| 20150013677 | Nasal Delivery Devices - A nasal delivery device for delivering substance to a nasal cavity of a subject comprises: a housing ( | 01-15-2015 |
| 20150367091 | NASAL ADMINISTRATION - A delivery device for and method of delivering a powdered substance, in particular a triptan, such as sumatriptan, to the posterior region of a nasal cavity of a subject, in particular for the treatment of headaches, for example, cluster headaches and migraine, and neuropathic pain, the delivery device comprising: a nosepiece for insertion into a nasal cavity of a subject through which the powdered substance is delivered to the posterior region of the nasal cavity of the subject, in particular the upper posterior two thirds of the nasal cavity; and a substance supply unit which is operable to deliver the powdered substance through the nosepiece. | 12-24-2015 |
| 20160001022 | NASAL DELIVERY - A nasal delivery device for and method of delivering substance to a nasal cavity of a subject, the delivery device comprising: a nosepiece for fitting to a nostril of a subject, wherein the nosepiece comprises a tip element which includes a delivery aperture from which substance is in use delivered into the nasal cavity, and the tip element is at least in part tapered such as to be inclined to a longitudinal axis of the nosepiece, with the delivery aperture extending both laterally across the tip element and along a longitudinal extent of the tip element; a nozzle through which substance is in use delivered, preferably substantially axially to a longitudinal axis of the nosepiece, to the respective nasal cavity; and a delivery unit for delivering substance through the nozzle of the nosepiece. | 01-07-2016 |
| 20160030700 | TASTE INHIBITION THROUGH THE USE OF AN AIR FLOW - A flow of air is directed at the face and into the nose and mouth so as to decrease taste and inhibit appetite. | 02-04-2016 |
| 20160051778 | NASAL DELIVERY DEVICES - A nasal delivery device for and method of delivering particulate substance to the nasal airway of a subject, the delivery device comprising: a body assembly including a mouthpiece unit which includes a mouthpiece through which the subject in use exhales, and a substance-supply unit which is fluidly connected to the mouthpiece unit and actuatable to provide particulate substance for delivery to the nasal airway of the subject; wherein the body assembly is configured to receive a replaceable nosepiece unit which includes a nosepiece and contains a container containing particulate substance. | 02-25-2016 |
| 20160082206 | Delivery Device and Method - A nasal delivery device for and method of delivering substance to the middle meatus in a nasal cavity of a subject in the treatment of a condition, in particular an inflammatory or infectious condition, thereof, the delivery device comprising: a nosepiece unit including a nosepiece for fitting to a nostril of a subject and a nozzle through which substance is in use delivered to the respective nasal cavity; and a delivery unit for delivering substance through the nozzle of the nosepiece; wherein the delivery device is configured to provide for deposition of a significant fraction of the delivered dose on, around and in the vicinity of the middle meatus. | 03-24-2016 |
