Liquid Delivery Device
OptiNose’s breath-powered nasal delivery technology significantly improves delivery to the target sites deep into the nasal cavity. In use, the subject inserts the sealing nozzle of the device into one nostril and blows into the mouthpiece against a resistance. Then the user manually activates the device by pressing the bottom of the bottle, releasing the resistance to the exhaled breath and allowing the exhaled breath and drug particles to create a medication-carrying airflow into the user’s nasal cavity.
