<p>The invention relates to a handling tool for the oral self-administration of a radioactive capsule, comprising a tubular body, which has a duct for passing the capsule, said duct extending from the upper end of said body to the lower end thereof, and which body is provided with a fingergrip at its outside and with a connection means for a detachable connection to a reservoir for holding said capsule at its lower end. An intermediate portion of said duct is widened to constitute an elongated room for accommodating a cartridge of a shielding material in a longitudinally (axially) slidable manner, said room comprising a first portion coaxial with the duct, which first portion connects the two parts of the duct, viz. an upper part and an inlet part for the capsule, and is so dimensioned that it can accommodate said cartridge slidably between a first and a second abutment, and a bypass portion alongside said first portion to allow the capsule to pass the cartridge. The invention also relates to a combination of this handling tool and a reservoir for holding a radioactive capsule. <IMAGE></p> |
