INHALER WITH POROUS SUPPORT ELEMENT WITH HOLES Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A61M15/00 A61M15/06 A24F47/00 

FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: claimed group of inventions relates to medical equipment, namely to a product in the form of an inhaler and an inhaler system. The product contains a case passing along a longitudinal axis from a mouthpiece end to a distal end. The product includes an end element at the distal end. The product has a cavity for a capsule, formed inside the case and passing along the longitudinal axis for a cavity length. The product contains an air inlet area between the end element and the cavity for the capsule. The air inlet area has an air inlet and an air passage forming a vortex tunnel passing from the air inlet to the cavity for the capsule. The air passage has an inner diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the cavity for the capsule. The vortex tunnel passes in a longitudinal direction along the longitudinal axis of the case of the product in the form of the inhaler. The product has a porous support element forming an end of the cavity for the capsule, located further along a stream. The porous support element is formed of porous material, the porous support element passes along the longitudinal axis along the length. The porous support element contains one or more holes passing along a length of the porous support element. The product contains an air channel of a mouthpiece, passing from the cavity for the capsule through the porous element to the mouthpiece end. The inhaler system contains a product in the form of an inhaler and a capsule located inside the cavity for the capsule of the product in the form of the inhaler. The capsule contains pharmaceutically active particles. Pharmaceutically active particles have a mass-median aerodynamic diameter of 5 micrometers or less, or in a range from 0.5 micrometers to 4 micrometers, or in a range from 1 micrometer to 3 micrometers.

EFFECT: provision of a product in the form of an inhaler, which would be formed of materials forming common cigarette configurations, could be assembled at a high speed, would have a shape easy to retain, familiar to a user, and similar to a traditional cigarette, and would be convenient for being used by a consumer.
