Protecting Inhalation Drug Delivery Devices With Parylene Conformal Coatings

By Dick Molin

Inhalers and nebulizers are the most common way to deliver drugs to asthmatic lungs. Recently, many more types of drugs are being delivered with inhalation technologies due to the discovery that these medications readily absorb through the alveolar region directly into blood circulation. With this expansion of use, it is important to protect both the dispensing device and the medications being dispensed. This article discusses the use of Parylene conformal coatings to enhance device reliability and ensure the success of the latest inhalation drug delivery technologies.
