ABSTRACT:
A nasal inhalation device for nebulizing liquid, including medication, used in treatment of upper respiratory and other conditions amenable to intra-nasal administration of medication. Comprises an internal, electrically powered air compressor unit, a nebulizing device, a conduit for connecting the air compressor to nebulizing device and tubing for delivering nebulized fluid to an individual's nasal passages. The compressor unit produces a pressurized air flow which passes through the connecting conduit to the nebulizing means. In the nebulizing device the pressurized air flow interacts with liquid and medication to reduce it to a fine spray. The tubing means carries the spray into individual's nasal passages to effect inhalation therapy for nasal and upper respiratory conditions and for a variety of other conditions whose treating medications have an intra-nasal route of administration.
