Abstract

L'invention concerne un inhalateur renfermant un gaz comprimé, tel que du gaz Heliox dans une première chambre qui communique avec une chambre d'égalisation possédant une pression inférieure à la pression du gaz dans la première chambre comprimée. Ledit inhalateur présente aussi une chambre de stockage de médicament qui est couplée de manière amovible à ladite chambre d'égalisation fonctionnant de manière qu'une partie du gaz comprimé provenant de la chambre d'égalisation fluidifie et introduit un aérosol dans le médicament, afin de produire un nuage de médicament qui peut être injecté dans un espace, où il peut être inhalé par un utilisateur.
