MUMBAI, India, Sept. 28 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617028051 A) filed by Itc Limited on March 10, 2026, for A Novel Impeller-Based Dry Powder Inhaler (dpi).
Inventors include Vittal, Vijaya; and Dinesh, Akash Mulemajalu.
The application for the patent was published on September 25, 2026, under issue no. 39/2026.
Abstract: The present invention discloses Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) technology, aiming to enhance the delivery efficiency of powdered formulation. The present invention includes a rotating pod (112) based delivery mechanism housed within a durable and lightweight housing (110). Key components include an upper housing (102) with an impeller (108) and a lower housing (104) with a rotating pod (112) in the mixing chamber (114) to deliver the powdered formulation to the user upon inhalation. This impeller (108), driven by breath actuation, rapidly rotates the rotating pod (112) upon inhalation, generating centrifugal forces upon the powdered formulation. An optimized release mechanism ensures precise delivery angles, 0 to ±85 degrees relative to the horizontal plane. The present invention represents a significant advancement in DPI technology, prioritizing usability, and dosage consistency.
