A dramatic innovation in pulmonary drug delivery
Deliver an aerosol directly to the lungs

Penn-Century, Inc. has developed the only commercially available devices for intratracheal delivery of liquid sprays and dry powders to the lungs. Our hand-operated devices do not depend upon compressed air, heat, ultrasound, electricity, chemical propellants or other energy source. They permit safe administration of highly quantifiable dosages directly to the lungs—in concentrations far greater than are possible with inhaled aerosols or liquid droplets.

Products include the MicroSprayer®, our unique, patented atomizer that generates an aerosol from the tip of a long, thin tube attached to a syringe. We offer a range of lengths and sizes, some as narrow as .64 mm in diameter (23-gauge). Our easy-to-use Dry Powder Insufflator permits administration of dry powders. More than 500 published papers, posters and drug patent applications using Penn-Century intrapulmonary devices demonstrate their broad capabilities for biomedical and veterinary research.
