Benefits of technology

The present invention is an aerosol delivery device that includes a housing with an airflow inlet and outlet, and an airflow passage extending therebetween. The device includes a medicinal or therapeutic substance that can be inhaled. The device includes a calibrated airflow resistance control element that can be adjusted to regulate airflow. The device is easy to manufacture, durable, and reliable. The technical effects of this invention include providing a new and improved aerosol delivery device that can efficiently deliver medication or therapy to a patient in a safe and effective way.

Problems solved by technology

There are numerous limitations inherent in prior aerosol delivery devices, including not being able to provide the optimal amount of airflow regulation under all conditions of aerosol delivery.
Therefore, prior aerosol delivery devices do not provide for enhanced efficiency of aerosol delivery under a wide range of medicament formulations, to a wide variety of users and patients, and to various regions of the airways, as the present invention does.
