Abstract:
1. Therapeutic aerosol device comprising a) a nebulizer device, to which a compressed gas can be supplied, having an aerosol generator for the generation of an aerosol which together with the supplied compressed gas forms a main aerosol flow, b) a nosepiece connected with the nebulizer device for supplying the aerosol to one of the two nostrils of the nose of a user, c) a flow resistance device for provision of a flow resistance in the other of the two nostril of the user, the flow resistance device having a first opening and a second opening, which is smaller than the first opening, and d) a connection device configured for connection to a device for generation of pressure fluctuations, the connection device being formed on the flow resistance device and being configured to introduce the pressure fluctuations into an interior of the flow resistance device between the first and second openings, and being configured to introduce the pressure fluctuations separately from the connection between the nebulizer device and the nosepiece, directly into the respective nostril of the user's two nostrils, such that the pressure fluctuations are superimposed on the main aerosol flow after separate introduction of the main aerosol flow and the pressure fluctuations into the respective nostril of the user to cause the aerosol from the main aerosol flow to reach the paranasal sinuses of the user and to be deposited therein.
