Inhalers
Four inhaler platforms available for customization
Complex mechanical constructions
An inhaler is a complex mechanical construction and there are several properties that need to be met during the development process:
Right lung dose every time
The inside geometry of the inhaler must be adapted for each powder formulation to get the right aerodynamic properties i.e., how the powder is aerosolized at inhalation and transported from the inhaler to the lung.
Easy and intuitive to use
The design is the essential element to meet this property.
Designed for manufacturing
Inhalers are disposable items, thus manufactured in large volumes. It must be possible to manufacture the inhaler at a low unit cost and meet the large volume requirements for a popular product. In addition, the ambition at Iconovo is to add more product features for increased patient preference and meeting high-quality standards.
- ICOres is a flexible multi-dose dry powder inhaler with patient feedback features.
- It features two separate reservoirs which allows for simultaneous inhalation of two different formulations.
- Its intuitive handling, exact dose counting and clear inhalation feedback make it the best alternative for pharmaceutical companies seeking a reservoir inhaler solution.
- Ready for commercial manufacturing. Unique licensing opportunity.
- ICOcap is a robust, capsule based dry powder inhaler with a unique, grip-friendly, hinge design that ensures ease of use.
- It is immediately available from our partner Stevanato for quick product launch and competitively priced off-the-shelf supply.
- It can be further customized for special needs.
- ICOone is an ultra-low cost, single-dose disposable dry powder inhaler for simple, cost-effective and discreet use.
- It is simple to carry, intuitive to use and ideal for short-term treatments that only require a few doses for full effect.
- High dose, up to 50 mg per unit.
- Being single-dose, it is highly suitable for high-value products to keep the unit price down.
- It can be designed with two cavities for combination products.
- Intuitive for easy nasal use
- High dose, up to 50 mg per unit
- Ultra-low cost manufacturing
- Optional two cavities design for combination drugs
- ICOpre is a pre-metered dry powder inhaler with a unique design.
- It features the same easy user operation as Ellipta: Open-Inhale-Close.
- Developed for global registration including USA as an AB-rated substitution for Ellipta.
- It contains 30 individually sealed doses for a month’s supply.
- Every dose comes from two compartments, which makes the inhaler suitable for mono, duo or triple products.
- A dose counter makes it easy to see the remaining number of doses.
