MEDICINAL VAPOR FILTRATION SYSTEM

摘要

A system for filtering vaporized medicinal compounds includes a vaporizer configured to release one or more volatilized medicinal compounds in gaseous form, together with solid or semi-solid particulate byproducts, and one or more removable filters for efficiently removing at least a portion of the particulate byproducts while allowing passage of medicinally active volatilized compounds. The vaporizer includes a mouthpiece through which one or more volatilized medicinal compounds may be drawn. The filter is made of a chemically inert material (e.g., polypropylene or other polyolefin) and may be configured to detachably interface with an exposed surface of a vaporizer mouthpiece. The filter acts to remove solid or semi-solid particulate matter passing through the mouthpiece with minimal chemical and/or physical interference with volatilized medicinal compounds, which pass through the filter. The removable filter can also prevent cross-contamination by multiple users of the vaporizer.

主权项

1. A filtration system for removing solid and/or semi-solid particulate matter from a medicinal vapor, comprising:
a vaporizer configured to release a medicinal vapor that includes one or more volatilized medicinal compounds, the vaporizer including a mouthpiece through which medicinal vapor may be drawn, the mouthpiece having a distal opening and a mouth-contacting surface; and a filter comprised of a chemically inert material and configured to removably cover the distal opening and mouth-contacting surface of the vaporizer mouthpiece and remove solid and/or semi-solid particulate matter from a medicinal vapor exiting the distal opening of the mouthpiece while permitting one or more volatilized medicinal compounds in the medicinal vapor to pass through the filter.
