MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441094355 A) filed by Manipal Academy Of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, on April 1, 2025, for 'an inhaler apparatus and method for inhalation drug delivery using t section droplet control.'
Inventor(s) include Sudheer P N; Chandrakantha Bekal; Manjunath Shetty; and Satish Shenoy B.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an optimized inhaler apparatus 100 comprising a medicine bottle attachment unit 101, a T-section 103, a nozzle 105, a cap 107, one or more sensors 109, a processing unit 111, a memory 113, and an adaptive dosage regulation module 115. The medicine bottle attachment unit 101 provides a secure, leak-free connection for a medicine container. The T-section 103 enables controlled multiphase droplet formation and directional steering of a pharmaceutical formulation along a defined propagation path. The nozzle 105 regulates droplet discharge to limit spreading and maintain directional coherence. The one or more sensors 109, processing unit 111, memory 113, and adaptive dosage regulation module 115 cooperate to monitor delivery parameters and adapt dosage delivery based on operational data and usage history. The apparatus thereby achieves reduced droplet dispersion, improved targeting accuracy, improved dosage consistency, and reduced medicine wastage."
