Description

计量剂量吸入器及使用该吸入器排放雾滴液体的方法
本发明涉及雾化机械和方法,特别是(尽管不是专门地)与雾化喷敷药物的应用有关。
雾化器使用范围很广,有各种不同用途的多种不同型式的雾化器。例如,所谓“扳机式雾化器”在家庭中,广泛地被用于喷洒清洗剂和磨光剂。所谓“垂直轴泵压雾化器”,广泛地用于喷洒护发药品和用作鲜气喷筒等等的应用中。
为了将喷洒的液体加压喷出,这两种雾化器都依赖于一操纵器运作时的泵浦作用。
在家庭应用中,通常不看重雾化器每次动作在喷洒量和/或喷雾产生的颗粒的大小是否完全相同。的确,在一般情况中,喷雾量和颗粒大小,非常依赖于操纵器运作行程的长度和/或强度。
通过装有降压阀或类似物,以改进雾化器的目的在于给出一定程度的“快动作”机制。当施加一最小压力时喷雾动作就开始。然而这样做远非准确,因为(a)这个最小压力值会被强有力的操作者不同程度地超过,(b)如果操作者操作行程不完全,喷雾动作就会过早地终止。
在WO 87/04373中,给出了一个适合于喷洒护发剂的改进的“快动作”垂直轴泵式雾化器的例子。尽管在此例中无须准确度,但因为这个最小压力可能被超过,喷雾动作依然依赖于操作者。在操作时如果手指压力消失,操作行程就会不完整,和/或手指的压力变化也会导致喷洒性能的变化。
在医疗应用中,能够准确并可重复地配给一定剂量的药物,就变得十分重要。
目前许多药物是通过“计量剂量吸入器”(MDI)用药的。这些器械产生药物的精细雾粒,然后被用药者吸入。现在,除了少数换鲜器和非救急药品外,大多数MDI要么是使用CFC(氟氯化碳)推动剂的气雾剂器械,要么是干燥粉末器械。
由于大部分药物是不溶于CFC的,通常药物是处于微粒化状态,即变成其颗粒平均直径为5微米的精细干燥粉末或晶粒。这些颗粒都在一定压力下,通常是在压力金属瓶中贮存,它们悬浮在CFC的液化气相中。在用药时操作放气阀,将一内部计量室与外部大气连通,一定计量的液化气和药粒迅速沸腾和膨胀,载着药物颗粒喷出阀门外。
如CFC之类的气雾剂有许多优点。其液化气能在小的体积中贮存大量的能量。因此,很容易地生产出便携式,袖珍型的气雾剂,这已足以在可重复的情况下供给充足的药量。
然而,CFC的另一个潜在的优点,它的惰性,已是目前关于臭氧层问题争论的中心。由于CFC被认为会耗尽臭氧层,1987年大部分发达国家都在蒙特利尔协定上签字,拟逐步取消CFC的使用。
尽管有完全取消使用CFC的巨大压力,但由于替代的配药方法或推进剂尚不适用或没有找到,医用推进剂依然被允许使用CFC。
事实上,在最近,即1990年3月,在美国科罗拉多州吉斯通、有250名第一流的世界专家出席的“呼吸药物传送II”会议上,除了CFC一型液化气推进剂(包括新引入的HFC-和HCFC-推进剂)或干燥粉末器械之外,他们甚至没有认真考虑任何其他种形式的MDI传送。干燥器产生干粉颗粒的雾或云状体,但由于它们既不是气雾剂,也不是喷雾器械,所以与本发明并不太相关。然而,尽管大部分使用者都感到,碰在咽喉后面的干颗粒有撩痒的感觉令人十分不愉快,但这些干粉末器械中较好的几种都在商业上获得了成功,这有趣地反映出对于改进传送器械的实质的需要。
尽管大部分药物不溶于CFC,某些处方还是使用了共溶剂和表面活性剂。对于精细的气雾剂,这些通常是不适宜的,因为在气雾剂活性作用之后,随着CFC的蒸发,液滴的平均直径马上开始变化,速度下降,使用者吸入的是经常改变大小和速度的颗粒。所以很难预料药效。
为了达到最大的药效,药物的平均直径在某一预定范围,例如1到8微米或1到5微米是非常重要的,这样当药物被吸入后就可能到达肺中的肺泡小囊中。较大的颗粒会被上呼吸道吸收并引起不良付作用。较小的颗粒则会被呼出。
使用CFC推进剂的气雾剂,能以较确定的大小传送药物,这是由于CFC迅速蒸发,留下的成核颗粒化药物具有预定的大小。然而,它们具有上面所述的对周围环境有害的影响。同时,它们还有一个缺陷,由于蒸发而冷却使得在吸气时感觉CFC是冷的气体。这会引起支气管收缩,因而降低喷药效率。还有,因为CFC比空气重得多,所以要将肺中的CFC全部呼出需要一个长时间,而这会减小氧的传送,又降低了药效。
CFC的另一个缺点在于:室温下CFC的蒸发率太大以至于一定剂量的药物的合速度很高。因此,药物通常以一个很显著的速度撞击咽喉后部,使人有些不舒服。况且,对于药物来说,其最佳路径是沿咽喉而下进入支气管的一条弯曲路径,到咽喉后部的高速路径是偏离这个最佳路径的。
CFC的另一个缺点是它不能与水混合,对于最大量的生理治疗,许多药物应该是溶于水的。
泵浦式喷雾器已被用于医疗。例如参看US-3838686,US-4694977和GB 1481199。然而它们都没能成功地解决重复性问题,也就是说,在一定的和可重复的颗粒大小,形状和压力下,重复传送一定剂量的药物。相反却总是依赖于操作者。GB-1481199权利要求提出了预定的可重复产生的喷雾液滴大小的谱,但事实上只是提出了最小操作力。强的和/或突然的操作力将给出不同的结果。
也应认识到,用垂直轴手指泵,是不可能产生医疗吸入应用所需的足够压力,它需要极小的颗粒大小。
有趣的是,US-4892232,其目的也是在一预定压力下,喷出定量的液体,它使用的是封在液化瓶中的弹性胶套中积蓄的能量。然而,其说明书十分清楚地表明,在使用中,压力实际上发生显著的变化,参看3栏28行~36行。
US-4147476,4693675和4842495号专利的目的在于提供利用使用者手指压力压缩的一弹簧的能量来雾化液体的装置。然而,这动作分为两阶段,液体首先被压缩,然后由于密封体的变形受压液体被喷出。由于密封体必须强到足以抵抗变形之前液体的压力,而耐高压的密封材料很难得到和/或很昂贵。所以这类装置不适于高压液体的应用,由于压力是直接由使用者手指施加的,缺乏机械上的优点,所以该装置又不能很好地适于高压应用。
尽管美国专利US-4842495,例如,声称提供了喷放剂量不依赖于手指压力。然而,如果使用者手指压力过量地减释,那么仍有可能使药剂在喷放时突然中止。在上面所叙述的所有三个专利中(以及许多其它专利),在喷放的瞬时,喷嘴必须移动,这是由于喷放喷嘴本身构成致动器按钮的一部分,而该按钮是被使用者按压以启动喷雾。如果使用者企图使用该装置作为吸入器,那么上述状况,使其难于导引喷嘴正确地进入咽喉。
美国专利GB-405458公开了消毒剂自动喷洒到使用后的电话送话口的器械,在这方面,所希望的喷雾或喷射的准确性,不高于目前一般家用的器械,如清洗器、抛光器等。其实,在图1到图13所示的主要实施例中,其运作将依赖于将电话听筒放回原处有多么平稳。在图14至图18的实施例中,则似乎给出其运作至少在某种程度上是可重复的。这似乎不是这个实施例的目的,而其直正相关的是仅在电话听筒放回原处预定多的次数之后,才引起液体被喷进话筒送话口。该专利说明书并没有讲授关于喷雾或喷射的准确性和重复性。并且其设计清楚地表明不适用于精细地雾化喷敷药物的应用,如用于计量剂量吸入器。
本发明最佳实施例的目的在于,改善这样的在先申请的缺点。
本发明的最佳实施例目的在于提供不依赖于CFC的使用或类似的推进剂的使用的计量剂量吸入器,而且还是在可重复的压力及平均颗粒大小条件下以相同的剂量重复地供给药物。最好药物以水溶液形式贮存和喷雾。

图8粗略地描绘了又一种雾化装置。
在图中,同样的标号表示相同或相应部分。
下面的叙述将参照附图,给出若干实施例。
如图1所示的MDI,包括一个主体1,它是一个具有一环形截面的圆柱缸体2,其中安装一个活塞3可作往复运动。圆柱缸体2与一个截面缩小了的压力腔4连通。该活塞3有一个较细直径部分5,它在压力腔4内密封啮合,使用的是装在活塞部分5的塑料密封套或环(例如聚四氟乙烯或尼龙)。可以与活塞较细直径部分5整体构成密封,例如装一个套,肋或垫圈。
预负载压缩弹簧6装于圆柱缸体2之内,即在活塞较粗的头部3和相对的圆柱缸体2端壁之间。一个操作棒31连接到活塞3上并通过弹簧6和主体1内通道34,从主体1中伸出。在棒31的端部或靠近该端部处,装有把手装置32,以便移动棒31和活塞3。一个安装在主体1上的闩锁装置33与棒31啮合,在负载位置,闩锁棒31,如图1所示。还装有一个启动按钮35,以便释放闩锁装置33。
同时,在主体1内还有一个空腔15,在其中装有软袋10,该袋装有待用药物(如液体药剂)。为了更换软袋10,在主体1的侧边有一个可打开的门16。用连接器12,把袋10的内部与入口通道11接通。该通道则通过一个不可逆阀门13与压力腔4连通。
同时,与压力腔4连通的是一个出口通道21,它通过一个不可逆阀门23和一个压力释放阀25,从压力腔4延伸到雾化头22。
此外,主体1上装有一个喷嘴罩40,它围绕着雾化头22形成一个雾化室。
在如图1的MDI使用中,在活塞3处于如图1所示的负载位置时,压力腔4充满由袋10通过通道11和不可逆阀门13所供给的液体。如前所述的压缩弹簧,当它安装在圆柱缸体2中时,已经处于预负载。通过拉动棒31,从而拉动活塞3到图1所示负载位置,更增加了弹簧的负载。
用闩锁装置33,把棒31闩锁在它的负截位置,如图1所示。按压启动按钮35,释放闩锁装置33,在压缩弹簧6的弹力力的作用下,活塞3突然向前移动,把一个突然的压力脉冲加到压力腔4内的液体中。
所以,压力腔4中的液体压力,很快地上升直到超过压力释放阀25的极限值。然后在高压作用下,压力腔4中的液体,通过出口通道21,经过单向阀23,喷射到雾化头22。当活塞3向前穿行时不可逆阀13阻止液体通过入口通道11,返回到袋10。当液体通过雾化头22喷射时,它被雾化成精细的液雾,而后被吸入。附加的喷嘴罩40提供了一个雾化室,将喷射的细雾围住并促进了喷雾的吸收。
为了重新给MDI加载,用手柄32抗住弹簧6的弹性作用,把棒31拉回,在它行程的末端,闩锁装置自动地把棒31锁定在锁端位置。在活塞3作上述穿行期间,液体被从软袋10中吸出,通过入口通道11和单向阀门13,进入压力腔4中,于此同时,单向阀门23则防止空气被通过出口通道21吸入压力腔4中。
所以,该MDI又处在负载位置,如图1所示,准备使用。
可以看到,在如图1所示的MDI使用中,经计量的一定剂量的液体,被以高度准确和可重复的方式加压和雾化。当棒31和活塞3被拉到它们的负载位置时,精确计量的液体被吸入压力腔4中。在释放闩锁装置33时,活塞3疾速地向前把予定量的能量加到液体上,由此,把其压力增加到一个预定量。所以,当加压液体,通过有预定雾化特征的雾化头22喷射时,液体被雾化成有预定平均颗粒大小的精细液雾。
为了把液体雾化成很精细的液雾,例如,具有平均颗粒大小在1到12微米范围,必须给压力腔4中的液体加上很高的压力。举例说,压力腔4的容积可以是20微升,活塞3的小端直径可以是2毫米,圆柱体2的直径可以是15毫米,弹簧6的力可以是100牛顿;以及雾化头22可以有一个直径在3到15微米量级的出口孔,在这样的设计中,在压力腔4中的液体中,可以产生300巴量级的压力。
空腔15可以向大气开放并处于大气压下。在另一个实施例中,腔15可以加压到大气压之上,这有助于迫使软袋里面的东西进入压力腔4,而无须在压力腔4中低于大气压的压力。这样的设计可以避免在吸入压力腔4中的液体内形成气泡。
可以附加压力释放阀门25,如果希望的话它也可以被省略。压力释放阀25和不可逆阀23可结合成单一体(没有示出)。可以认为,图1的图示实质上是概略图。实际的实施例可以有不同的结构。例如,可以使用一个杠杆或其它齿轮机构,以帮助活塞3抵抗弹簧6而加载。
在一个实施例中,MDI可以安装一个盖,当盖打开时,它自动地加载活塞3并且闩锁该闩锁装置33,使得MDI就处于待启动状态。当盖打开时,MDI将被启动按钮35启动。在另外的实施例中,活塞3可以在MDI的盖被盖上的同时,抵抗弹簧6而加载,并且闩锁闩锁装置33。所以,该器械已被预加载了,并且当打开盖时,可以立即启动。在另一种改进中,打开该器械的盖时可以自动地抵抗弹簧6对活塞3加载,闩锁该闩锁装置,然后在开盖动作终结时,自动地释放该闩锁装置。
图1的MDI,最好是小巧、袖珍型的,因为相对于已知的MDI,它不须要提供相当大的体积,以盛装在一定压力下的液体气体推进剂。所以,它能容易地制成小巧的尺寸。除此之外,如软袋10形式的药剂容器,能盛装比通常的MDI更多的药物。例如,通常的MDI可以装载仅200到400剂量,而按照图1所示构造的MDI,在软袋中很容易盛装1000或更多的剂量。还可以看到,装在袋10中的东西能被保护以免于大气的沾污。
当袋10空了时,它可以简单地由空腔15中取下来,并用一个新袋替换。最好,袋10有密封以阻止药剂从袋10中逸出,直到袋10被连接到连接器如12之后。
在另一个实施例中,活塞和/或阀门的一部分,可以和药剂容器如软袋10一起,设计成可拆卸的。
可以看到,在图示的MDI使用中,一旦按压启动按钮35,释放闩锁装置33,从而释放弹簧6,就不会有任何事情能阻止压力腔4中所含有的东西被释放并雾化后喷洒出来。因此,弹簧6加到压力腔4中一定计量的液体上的能量是绝对地被预定的,使得一定计量的液体的压力增加也同样是绝对被预定的。在以下描述的所有本发明的实施例中,实现了上述的目的。
图1中MDI的另外特征在于:只当按压启动按钮35以释放闩锁装置33并由此释放弹簧6时,压力腔4中一定计量的液体才被施加压力。其优越性在于:无须密封或其它装置,在雾化过程之前,来约束高压液体。被弹簧6和活塞3施加到压力腔4中一定计量的液体的压力,导致受压液体通过雾化头22并由此雾化。在以下描述的所有其它的实施例中,也实现了上述目的。
图1中MDI另外的重要优点在于:按压启动按钮35以释放闩锁装置33和弹簧6时,在主体1内的雾化头不动,而只有按钮35动。这样相对于通常的垂直轴手指泵的设计、就容易正确地定向喷雾,而后者在使用时,雾化喷嘴本身被按压以启动雾化过程。在医疗吸入器中,这是不方便的,因为它难于正确地定向喷雾。在以下描述的所有其它实施例中,又实现了这个目的。
如图2所示的MDI,基本上类似于图1的MDI。然而,在图2中,没有安装压力释放阀25。同时,药剂容器包含长管16,液体制品17在一定压力下贮存在其中。该压力是由贮存在液体制口17之后的气体容器中的气体18所产生的。当活塞3拉回到承载位置时,在气体18压力作用下液体制品17被迫经过入口通道11和不可逆阀门13,进入压力腔4中。当使用液体制品17时,气体18膨胀进入管16,推动液体制品17向前并损耗一些压力。气体18的初始压力,应该充分保持在大气压之上,直到所有液体制品17被用掉。
压力管16可以制成可替换的,当液体制品17被用完后,以便更换MDI。此外,由于整个MDI主要是塑料部件所以造价可以十分低廉。这样可以用后即弃。如果管16至少有一部分从MDI的外边是可见的,那么根据其中剩余制品的液位,就可看出是否已用完。
在图1和图2的实施例中,喷雾动作是通过启动按钮35启动的。在另一种设计中,闩锁机构33,可以响应靠近雾化头22的使用者的吸入动作而自动释放。例如在喷嘴罩40上可连接一个叶片,使用者吸者时,叶片两边的压差会引起叶片移动,由此释放闩锁机构33启动喷雾动作。在已有的MDI中,这样自动启动机构本身是已知的。
在图1和图2的实施例中,活塞3的行程是固定的,如果希望的话,可以提供用于变化活塞行程的装置。最好,这样的装置被刻度,使得使用者可以随意地调节MDI,以确定喷洒不同的药量。然而,将看到:在每一种情况下,一旦调节装置取定一个特定值之后,MDI就可以提供高度重复地,相同剂量的喷洒剂量,恰如活塞的行程被固定一样。
如图3所示的实施例中,液体制品50被盛在软管51内,该软管51和一个延伸出来的喷嘴52整体地成形,该延伸喷嘴52则作为一个活塞。喷嘴/活塞52可以圆柱体53之内作往复运动。在喷嘴/活塞52的端部,加一个简单的不可逆阀门54。压力腔55限定在圆柱体53的端部,并通过简单的不可逆阀门56,与雾化头57连通。圆柱体53,不可逆阀门56以及雾化头57,所有的都装在壳体58之内,壳58带有一将其定位在第一主体部件60之内的环形肋59。
制品软管51的顶部,带有一将软管51定位在第二主体部件62之内的环形肋61。弹性位移装置,促使两个主体部件60和62相互靠近。闩锁装置,在有承载条件下,闩锁两个主体部件60,62分开予定距离;启动装置用于释放闩锁装置。为了清楚起见,弹性位移装置,闩锁装置和启动装置,没有表示在图3中,但是这些部分的例子已表示在图1和图2中。
图3实施例运作方式如下所述。
如图3所示,该MDI是处在没承载或“已喷完”状态。用适当机构,把主体部件60和62相互移开,导致喷嘴/活塞52相对圆柱体53拉出。在压力腔55中,降低的压力,引起液体制品50被从管51中吸出,经过不可逆阀门54,充满压力腔55,在上述动作期间,不可逆阀门56,阻止空气由雾化头57进入压力腔55中。
在加载行程结束时,闩锁装置把主体部件分开并固定在预定的相对位置上。用启动装置释放闩锁装置时,喷嘴/活塞52,以基本类似于图1和图2实施例中的方式,在弹性位移装置作用下,突然急促进入圆柱体53中,对在压力腔55中的液体制品50突然加压,受压液体制品就在压力下,通过不可逆阀门56,射入雾化头57,然后通过雾化头57雾化成精细液雾。
随后,用各自的杠杆机构,抵抗弹性位移装置产生的力,再把两个主体部件60,62分开重新给MDI加载。
所以,可以看到,图3实施例,运作方式基本上类似于图1和图2实施例的方式。然而在图3中,以特别方便的方式提供了盛在软管51中的制品50,软管51可以和喷嘴/活塞52以及一简单的不可逆阀门54,制成一体,用后弃掉。还可以看到,软管50和与它成一体的喷嘴52以及不可逆阀门54,可采用塑料材料这种相对经济的方式很容易地制造。除了当MDI在已启动时,使用者避免和液体制品50接触。适当地结合图3实施例的特征,可以给出图1和图2实施例的特征,包括以上讨论的种种变化。
在图3实施例中,部件60,62的任一个可以相对于MDI主体而固定,而部件60,62中的另一个相对于固定部件是可动的。此外两个部件60,62都可以相对于MDI主体运动。
在图4的实施例中,液体制品70被盛装在软管71内。软管71的喷嘴72与装有不可逆阀门74的入口通道73相连。不可逆阀门74与变形管75相通,变形管75可以在“满”位置(实线表示)和“空”位置75a(破折线表示)之间变化。变形管75与另一个不可逆阀门76连通,该阀门76则与雾化头(没有画出)连通。变形管75装在压力腔77内,该压力腔装满了辅助液体78。该辅助液体78,经过通道79与压力脉冲产生器(没有示出)连通。
图4实施例运作方式如下。
当变形管75在它的“满”位置时,它充满了由软袋71吸取的液体制品70。在把压力脉冲加到辅助液体78上时,在压力腔77中的压力突然增加,这引起变形管75急剧地进入“空”位75a。当其动作时,在高压下管75中的液体制品,被排出不可逆阀门76到雾化头(没有示出),致使雾化头将液体制品雾化成精细液雾,基本与前面实施例一样。
在压力脉冲终止时,变形管75恢复它的初始“满”位置并且在这个动作期间,液体制品70由软管71被吸上,通过不可逆阀门74,进入变形管75内的空间。变形管75在其自身的自然反弹下,可以回到它的“满”位置。另外地或附加地,通过把负的或减压脉冲加到压力腔77中的辅助液体78上,有助于其返回“满”位置。
通过任何适当的装置,可以在辅助液体78中产生压力脉冲。然而,重要的是,压力脉冲要有预定幅度和持续时间,以保证一定计量的液体,重复地吸入变形管75,并且随后,在预定的压力下,从其中被排出,从而通过雾化头产生可重复的喷雾量。
举例来说,压力脉冲产生器,可以包括活塞和圆柱体,以及闩锁装置,启动装置,即基本类似于图1和图2所示类型。
典型地,压力脉冲实质上可以是矩形波形式。然而,如果希望的话,压力脉冲可以是任意预定的形状,但要慎重地选择时间变化的喷雾谱。重要的是,不管脉中形状怎样,它们能正确地重复。这可以适于所有的实施例。
图5表示一个雾化头系统80的一个实施例的放大详图。一个在主体82中的入口通道81,接通到入口室83。在入口室83接口截面之间,插入一个过滤器84。入口室83的最后一节接到旋流室85,旋流室再接到喷嘴86。
过滤器84的目的是阻止颗粒阻塞最末的出孔。例如,过滤器84可由不锈钢网眼制成,网眼大小在1至10微米范围,最好是3微米。
图6所示为雾化孔90的一个实施例。孔90就成形在板91上,板91可以被定位,例如定位在图5所示系统中雾化喷嘴86的下游,如图中点划线所示。
由图6可见,最后出口孔90直径为6微米,全长30微米,包括一向内张开的,与垂直面成30°角的锥形咽道92,和一个向外张开的嘴93。孔板91厚度为1毫米量级,并且锥形入口通道长度约为1毫米,从70微米大小的初级进入孔,成20°锥角张开。我们惊奇地发现,使用约6微米的最末雾化孔,再加上施加到被雾化的液体的高压(通过能量存贮装置,如压缩弹簧6等),能得到很有效和均匀的平均颗粒大小的液雾。测试表明,用一个6微米量级的出口孔,如图6所示,与300巴量级的液压,产生了平均颗粒大小5-8微米量级的均匀的液雾。最好,出口孔90的直径小于100微米。直径最好是在1-20微米范围,而最佳的范围是3-10微米。
通过在板91上钻孔,可以构成出口孔90,例如,用碳化钨针(例如:类似于在纺织工业中用于构成纺织狭孔那样)。
尽管雾化孔被优选,然而可能使用别的雾化装置。
例如,如图7所示,通过出口孔104,可以产生液体射流102,以高速度射到物体上,例如金属球,然后,使液体雾化。
另一种设计如图8所示,两条液体射流110,以高速度和高压相撞,使得在它们相撞点该液体雾化。
用在这里描述的实施例的,至少是其中一部分的构造的MDI所作的实验证明有令人惊奇的效果,它们可以很容易地提供能重复的,平均颗粒大小小于30微米的药物液雾剂量,典型地是3-10微米量级。平均颗粒大小在2至8微米,或小于5微米,是最佳的。本发明这些实施例特别重要的方面是,药物可以在水溶液形式下被即刻使用。目前使用的许多药物,有两种配方-一种用于MDI中,而另一种用于医院里通常使用的喷雾器中;后一种配方,几乎永远是药物的水溶液。所以,它们可马上使用本发明的实施例。
实施本发明的MDI,药物能够应用于水溶液,这可能会加速新药物的发展。这是因为目前许多长期试验是为了确保推进剂(典型的,如CFC)不降级或影响药物和它的效果。当然,在描述的实施例中,没有需要别的推进剂。
目前,通过MDI用药的许多药物,涉及支气管扩张器,及类似的用于处理哮喘,过敏以及充血机能失调的药物。然而通过吸入疗法,还能治疗其它病症(例如肺细胞隆凸)使其重要性日益增长。其理由在于:通过胃用药经常被胃分泌破坏,或者药物进入血流被肝吸收,(首先通过新陈代谢)另一方面,副作用可能是严重的。这些新药中的某些,是很难微粒化的,直到现在,只有在医院通过雾化作用,它们才被服用。因为便携式药物传送方法,以前还没有使用。医院的雾化器典型的包括气喷器,其中,少量的液体制品,在高压下被加到大量的喷气中,这样的设备需要大的气缸。所以,这肯定不是便携式的。(当然,是在袖珍大小或类似器件的意义上来讲)。本发明的实施例,可以很容易地把这样的药,应用于容易便携的器械,并且一个重要的优点在于,这样的实施例马上可以用于喷敷已经检验过并且对于雾化器的使用是可用的药物。
所描述的实施例,它们特别有用的优点在于,它们可在任何方位上,十分满意地使用。与此对照,已有的喷雾器--推进剂型(例如CFC)和泵作用型-两种型式都只工作在一种方位,(通常是竖直)然而不可能希望病人总是处于直立位置。
正如在前面描述中所建议的,本发明实施例可以包括至少部分是透明的制品容器,使得其含量可直观地检验。
本发明描述的实施例又一优点在于:无须使用任何弹性密封部件,可以制造得十分满意,而对照我们知道的所有已知的MDI,它们是使用弹性密封部件的,而弹性密封部件与被喷洒的制品接触时,有可能降低弹性,和/或由弹性体(例如橡皮)中提取药物,其成分可能会浸入将被喷洒的制品中。
本发明最佳实施例不需要弹性密封而有很好的功能的理由在于,制品不须在高压下贮存。在雾化循环周期中,高压只出现很短的时间。所以,例如在图1和图2的实施例中,只需要在活塞端部分上有密封套或密封环就行了。如上所述,它们可以是聚四氟乙烯或尼龙材料制成。其实,完全由不锈钢和检验过的塑料材料(例如聚丙烯,聚四氟乙烯或尼龙)来制造图1和图2的实施例,是既有可能又有希望的。上述的检验过的塑料是完全安全的,并且与被喷洒的制品不起反应。
如果,在连接器12处有密封需要,可以装个塑料制的(如四氟乙烯)的密封环或垫圈。另外地或附加地,该连接器12可以包含螺旋啮合部分,并且,至少其一部分是由检验过的塑料制作的。
在图4实施例中,如果希望的话,有可能在压力脉冲产生器(没有表示出)内使用弹性密封。这是因为制品70,通过变形管75和辅助液体78,与这样的密封完全隔离。变形管75是由检验过的塑料制成的例如,聚丙烯,聚四氟乙烯,尼龙)。
在图1和图2的实施例中,被强弹簧推动的机械活塞,用于产生施加到压力室4中的液体上的压力脉冲。别的装置也可以用来产生这样的压力脉冲。例如,气体弹簧5,电马达,螺线管;或其它可以使用的装置。
尽管以上描述的本发明实施例,使用液体制品,典型地其可以包括药物水溶液,然而,其它液体制品也可以使用。例如,可以使用悬浮液或溶于水,乙醇或其它种液体中的液体。
如上所述,本发明上述实施例,可以在比通常的MDI低得多的速度下,喷射液雾。例如,在通常的CFC推进剂MDI中,发射的液雾云团或气泡,可能达到每秒30米量级的速度。本发明最佳实施例,可以只以四分之一的该速度释放等量的液雾量。其实,有可能设计本发明实施例,与使用者每分钟60立升量级的最佳吸入率相匹配。
已描述的本发明实施例,包括用于计量被雾化液体量的装置。在另外的实施例中,雾化器械,可以带有预计量的被雾化液体。例如,一种箔带或塑料材料(或其它种材料),可以装有预计量的一个剂量的液体制品。而且,该箔带材料能预先或作为加压操作的一部分,局部穿孔;随后液体被雾化成精细液雾。最后,箔带材料在预定位置,可以预软化,当需要时,促使箔带材料恰当地破裂。另外,预计量的液体制品剂量,可以盛在单个胶囊中,顺序地被送到压力室,或其它加压位置,然后在那儿胶囊破裂。这些带材或胶囊可以设计成,在雾化器械所加的预定压力下破裂。这样在破裂时,在液体制品中,产生了压力释放效应。
读者应注意到,与本说明书同时或在先申请和已用说明书对公众公开的所有这样的文章和文献,所有这些文章和文献的公开内容都通过引用结合在本说明书中。

公开的说明书中(包括任何同时提出的权利要求,摘要和附图)的每一个特征,除非另外明确地表明之外,都可以用另外的、严格相同的,等同或同样目的的特征代替。所以除非另外明确地表明之外,公开的每一个特征,只是一系列等同或同样特征的一个实施例。
