SU1806767A1 - Inhaler and inhalation method - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to medical technology and medicine, namely to devices for creating therapeutic breathing mixtures and inhalation methods.

The aim of the invention is to create a design of an inhaler for producing inhalation, mainly by the proposed smoke-aerosol method.

The design variant can also be used as a device for producing the known method of steam aerosol inhalation.

Fig. 1 shows the proposed inhaler for producing smoke-aerosol inhalation; Fig. 2 shows the same in a design version, as a device for producing steam aerosol inhalation.

The inhaler comprises a housing 1 with an internal heat-resistant coating, an elbow pipe with a heat-resistant coating 2 fixed in it, a clamping nut 3, a pipe nozzle 4, a nozzle socket with a mesh base 5, a socket plug with a threaded pin 6, a tampon with a sprayed substance 7, a threaded regulator for manually adjusting the intensity of the spray flow 8, a removable ebonite mouthpiece 9.

The proposed inhaler is used for performing single procedures using smoke-aerosol inhalation as follows.

Remove the plug with the pin 6 from the nozzle 4 socket 5. Wrap a cotton swab 7 around the pin and dip it into a container with the aromatic medicinal liquid. Then reinsert the pin with the swab into the socket 5, tightly closing it with the plug (the swab is reusable). Add crushed medicinal herbs to the body 1, compact them, and set them on fire. Lightly smoke the smoke through the removable mouthpiece 9 using the moisture aerosol spray intensity regulator.

8. by its threaded movement and blocking the holes connected with the at

1806767 A1 atmosphere produces the desired volume and concentration of the inhaled smoke-aerosol mixture. After repeated use, the inhaler can be disassembled by unscrewing the nozzle, removing the mouthpiece 9, and thoroughly cleaning.

To obtain procedures using steam aerosol inhalation, the inhaler design is used as follows.

Pipe 2 is rotated relative to housing 1, as shown in Fig. 2 (see drawing), and secured with clamping nut 3. The housing then becomes a receiver for steam from an external source (e.g., the neck of a boiling kettle). Further procedures are similar to those described above. In this case, the inhaler is not used independently, but as a device connected to an external steam source.

The proposed inhaler design is simple to manufacture and operate and does not require additional sources for aerosol spraying.

The proposed method of smoke-aerosol inhalation differs from conventional smoke inhalation by using a blown medicinal aromatic moisture aerosol in the inhaled smoke, resulting in a smoke-aerosol mixture of the medicinal components. Inhaling smoke in a finely atomized aromatic liquid is more favorably tolerated by patients. The use of a smoke-aerosol mixture of several medicinal components simultaneously and their targeted spraying by fine irrigation of the nasopharynx allows for more effective treatments. (Example components: smoke - garlic, dill, caraway. Aerosol emulsions - eucalyptus, anise, oils, etc.)

Claims (2)

Invention formula 1. An inhaler comprising a hollow body and an outlet elbow with a nozzle fixed in its wall, having openings for connection with the atmosphere, characterized in that, for the purpose of carrying out autonomous smoke-aerosol inhalation and the possibility of carrying out steam aerosol inhalation, the inner surface of the body and the outlet elbow have a heat-resistant coating, and the elbow is fixed with the possibility of rotation and fixation, while the nozzle is equipped with a regulator of the flow area of the opening for communication with the atmosphere. 2. A method of inhalation by igniting medicinal plant material and inhaling its smoke, characterized in that, in order to enhance the therapeutic effect, aerosol inhalation is carried out simultaneously with inhalation of the smoke.
