ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a particle catcher for reducing the velocity of aerosol medications discharged from an inhalation device and the amount of large particle droplets entrained therein. A screen supportable with respect to the aerosol discharge of the inhalation device is integrally formed with, and along the cross section of, one end of a flexible support tube. The screen includes a structural array of interconnecting elements and openings which reduce the flow rate of the discharged spray and limit the size of particles and droplets in the spray which pass therethrough. The opposite end of the flexible tube is selectively moldable into the cross-sectional shape of the inhalation device mouthpiece.
