INFUSOR SYSTEM FOR DELIVERY OF MEDICATION TO A BODY CAVITY

摘要

An infusor system (10) comprises a delivery tube (12) with one of the ends couplable to a supply (37, 38) of liquid medication. A dispenser head (14) is coupled to the other end of the delivery tube (12) and medication is directed therethrough. The dispenser head is configured to be placed within a body cavity of a patient such that a contact surface contacts a portion of a mucous membrane (32) in the body, and is operable for directing medication from the delivery tube (12) to the contact surface and on to the mucous membrane (32). In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the dispenser head (14) includes a portion of compressible foam which is configured to fit within the rectal cavity (30) of a patient. The dispenser head (14) channels medication to the rectal mucous membrane (32) to be absorbed thereby. Unique methods of utilizing the infusor system to administer medication to a patient are set forth herein.
