Executive Summary
Respira Therapeutics Inc.'s method for delivering drugs to the lung is unusual because it does not utilize any chemical and doesn't require special formulations. Instead, a drug-coated bead about the size of a pea sits dead center in a cartridge the size and shape of a lipstick tube. When a person inhales from the device, the bead oscillates and the therapeutic is detached as the patient breathes in.
