DEVICE CAPABLE OF DELIVERY OF HIGHLY SOLUBLE PHARMACEUTICAL DOSE FORMS INTO BODY SPACES

摘要

A medicinal applicator that includes a flexible tube with a bore hole or lumen traversing the entire length of the flexible tube from a proximal end of the flexible tube to a distal end of the flexible tube; a plunger traversing the bore hole or lumen of the flexible tube; an elastic membrane having a self-sealing and relatively watertight opening and covering the bore hole or lumen forming a delivery end of the flexible tube; and a removable finger retaining loop is detailed. In a preferred embodiment, the delivery end of the flexible tube and the plunger form a therapeutic holding chamber that remains watertight under the physiological conditions of a body cavity until the plunger is depressed at the proximal end mechanically propelling the medicament through the watertight opening of the elastic membrane into the body cavity.
