Caddo has invented and patent protected a Pre-filled Nebulizer System — the first true drug-device combination applicable to the nebulized medication and device markets.
The drug-device combination calls for pre-filling a nebulizer with a precise dose of medication in a sterile setting and hermetically sealing the medication in the nebulizer. Caddo has further developed and patent-protected a proprietary Breath-enhanced Therapy ‘T’ that attaches to the nebulizer. With a quarter turn of the ‘T’, the patient easily pierces the hermetic seal rendering the device ready for the therapy.
The Caddo Pre-filled Nebulizer System (PFN™) offers a complete and innovative approach to packaging and delivering aerosolized medication along with additional adjunct breathing therapies provided by the breath-enhanced Therapy ‘T’. This IP portfolio gives the buyer or licensee exclusive rights to pre-fill a small-volume nebulizer that enables broad applications for both medications & therapy in a number of nebulizer configurations.
The Pre-filled Advantage
Pre-filled & Sterile – Single, precise dose of medication
Fully Assembled – Labor efficient, easy-to-use
Single-use – One therapy & discard
Global Patent Protection
The owner of Caddo’s IP holds exclusive rights to pre-fill ANY small-volume nebulizer with medication with far-reaching global patent protection as is illustrated in the IP map below.
PFN Conceptual Design
Our 3D animations give you an illustration of the founder's vision of the PFN™ while demonstrating the functionality of our patents. These conceptual renderings are just one possible iteration of what the pre-filled nebulizer can ultimately become.
The Pre-filled Concept
While the concept of pre-filling a small-volume nebulizer is new, the efficacy of pre-filling disposable devices for the sake of expediency, convenience and cleanliness has been proven across a wide range of industries, particularly in the medical field. Take for example, the pre-filled syringe.

The Pre-filled Proof
Caddo’s Pre-filled Nebulizer is the aerosol equivalent of the prefilled syringe.
Caddo’s IP Portfolio enables nebulizers to share virtually the same benefits as the pre-filled syringe, which are:
- Pre-filled with medication – sterile and safe
- Highly convenient – single-use and dispose
- Labor efficient
- Free from misdosing errors, risks and liability
- Free from medication spills and waste
- A natural and easy solution for self-use at home
