Spreading implement

摘要

An implement 1 for applying a volume of liquid to a treatment surface can include a support 3 onto which is mounted a receptacle 2, the receptacle defining a reservoir space 4 which receives the liquid. The receptacle includes a wall 6 having a working surface that is used to spread the liquid over the treatment surface. The wall 6 is resiliently deformable so in use the working surface maintains contact with the treatment surface when spreading the liquid. The implement has a specific application in applying a transdermal lotion to the axilla area of the user. A system for transdermal administration of a physiological active agent from a liquid composition and a method of using this system are described.

1. A system for transdermal administration of a physiologically active agent from a liquid composition, the system including
a container containing the liquid composition including the physiologically active agent, a dispensing device for delivering liquid composition from the container; and an applicator for applying the liquid to an area of skin for transdermal administration said applicator including a support detachably contactable to the dispensing device or container being adapted to detach to permit said dispensing device to deliver said liquid composition, a receptacle mounted on the support defining a reservoir space which receives a volume of the liquid composition from the container, the receptacle having a base and a resiliently deformable wall, the wall being substantially transverse to the base and having a working surface that is used to spread the liquid composition over the area of the skin surface, the base having a surface such that the liquid composition cannot pass through the base.
