Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) Orbital™ Advantages
-
Dry powder formulation provides enhanced shelf life for APIs
The Orbital™ Dry Powder Inhaler utilizes a unique puck for holding the drug product formulation. The sealed puck provides enhanced product stability while supporting accurate and reproducible progressive drug delivery over multiple inhalations.
-
Wide range of potential API candidates
There is a wide range of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) that can benefit from this new Dry Powder Inhaler technology, which is otherwise restrained by the high payload. The orbital motion of the puck in the device efficiently deagglomerates and aerosolizes the powder, vastly improving the performance. Molecule stability, absorption, bioavailability, toxicity and side effect profile are factors in determining suitability for inhalation delivery.
-
Shorter treatment administration time
Our Orbital™ Dry Powder Inhalation system offers direct delivery of the formulation to the lungs with potentially shorter treatment administration times for patients. The large volume of the puck allows higher dry payload that can be inhaled by the patient repeatedly thereby reducing administration time and handling. The targeted delivery allows for efficient absorption and possible reduction of undesirable systemic effects compared to other administration routes.
