A medicament respiratory delivery device including a housing having a
chamber, an inlet and an outlet generally coaxially aligned with the
chamber, wherein the chamber includes a medicament cartridge having a
body including a generally cylindrical passage extending through the
opposed ends of the cartridge generally coaxially aligned with the inlet
and outlet of the housing having thin burstable polyolefin membranes
having a burst pressure of between 1.2 and 10 atmospheres stretched taut
over the ends of the cartridge, such that fluid delivered to the inlet
ruptures the membranes, entraining medicament contained within the
cartridge passage which is delivered to the patient's respiratory system
through the outlet. The method of forming the cartridge includes
stretching out and bending a membrane to one end of the cartridge,
preferably by heat bonding, filling the cartridge with a medicament and
sealing the opposed end preferably with a second burstable membrane by
stretching out a membrane over a convex surface and heat bonding.
