The DHD MedShield is a single-patient-use device. The Intended Use of the device is to reduce the taste effect of Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) drugs by covering the tongue in the taste sensor area.

The MedShield product reduces drug deposition in the tongue when used in conjunction with metered dose inhaler (MDI) medications. The device attaches to an MDI elbow and shields the tongue of the user from the medication spray. Drug that deposits on the device would otherwise be on the users tongue. Based on this, the taste effect of the medications is reduced. This simple device includes two different features. 1. The patient end of the device covers the tongue. The patient end may vary to maximize the comfort of a wide range of users. 2. The elbow end of the device includes a universal clip, which attaches the device to all MDI elbows. To satisfy the preferences of various customers, the force required to separate (or attach) the device to various elbows can be modified by adjusting the clip or modifying the taper around the clip.
