Issuance of the European patent for the IsoBreath® valve

In 2012, Optimhal-Protecsom invented the IsoBreath® inspiratory valve, specificaly designed for the TipsHaler® valved holding chamber.

 

This conical anti-turnaroud valve, with a slight opening at rest, permits to modulate the inspiratory flow of the patient without generating inspiratory resistance for toddlers.

 

It promotes deep lung deposition of fine particles and limits drug deposition in the oropharyngeal area.

Inspiratory Valve IsoBreath - TipsHaler

The European Patent Office, the authority in charge of granting European patents, has just officially issued the patent for this IsoBreath® inspiratory valve.

 

It’s a recognition of OptimHal’s research innovation capabilities and it reinforces OptimHal’s team in the commitment to develop new effective devices for the millions of patients suffering from asthma or allergies around the world.

« Purchase of “renewal” for my 12-year-old girl who is asthmatic since she was 4 years old. For some time, she has been sleeping with two pillows, one of which was not wrapped, and I have noticed a worsening of sneezing. So I try to wrap this 2nd pillow to limit its reaction to mites. Stay tuned…
PS: The rest of the bedding is protected for a long time and I am very satisfied with ProtecSom products. »

2017 : An encouraging year for CombiHaler® !

The year 2017 has been fruitful for CombiHaler®, our spacer for mechanical ventilation circuits. Several scientific publications published this year reveal the eagerness of the scientific community to work with our spacer for mechanical ventilation circuits, developed jointly with “l’Université de Tours”.



By studying the feasibility to connect CombiHaler® on different types of circuits (high flow nasal canula and single-limb non-invasive ventilation), the first 2 articles (Madney, 2017 and Harb, 2017) have opened up new prospects for the use of CombiHaler®.

The last article published in October (Rodriguez, 2017) presents encouraging results for the treatment of pulmonary infections that requires high antibiotics concentrations. By increasing the dose delivered directly de the patients’ lungs, the dose of antibiotics to the site of infection is increased, systemic side effects are reduced, and antibiotic resistance accrual is potentially limited.

This enthusiasm from the scientific community hints at a very bright future for CombiHaler® and its evolutions of our range of spacers for mechanical ventilation.
