ABSTRACT:
An improved respiratory inhaler and medicated packet which uses a patient's breath to send powdered medication into the oral cavity of the patient. The respiratory inhaler is reusable and controls both the rate of airflow inside the chamber and prevents the patient from blowing into the respiratory inhaler. Disposable medicated packets are inserted into the respiratory inhaler. These medicated packets have preformed holes which pass air through the packet and entrain the medication. One respiratory inhaler can be used numerous times for numerous different types of medication. These medicated packets have a removable, protective layer to maintain the sterility and dryness of the measured dose of medication. In operation, the medication is transported from the packet, through the respiratory inhaler, and into the patient. The medicated packets are transparent on one side to allow the patient to observe if the medication has been completely delivered.
