Summary of key features
Precise, hand-operated. The Penn-Century Dry Powder Insufflator™ is a hand-operated, pulmonary drug
delivery device. It is designed to produce a cloud of fine particles from the end of a small-diameter delivery tube.
It can be used to aerosolize and administer a precise dose of dry powder to the lungs, nasal cavities or other in-
vitro applications. It has also been used for analysis, testing and development of dry powders. The body of the
device is made of chemically resistant PEEK™ parts and silicone valves. It has a hollow stainless steel tip with a
120-degree bend that helps keep the user’s hand out of the line of sight, making it easier to view the epiglottis.
The device is sterilizable and reusable. (It is preferable to clean it with dry methods, as described on Page 8.)
