Abstract
A medicinal applicator that is defined by a base, a medicinal cream receiving port in the base, and a shaft extending along a shaft axis from the base and terminating at an applicator tip is useful in smearing medicinal cream in a person's colon. There is at least one exit aperture located along a portion of the shaft through which the cream can exit. The medicinal applicator has an unobstructed pathway is in communication with the receiving port and the exit aperture in addition to a stop plate that extends radially from the base delineating the base from the shaft. The shaft's outer shape is defined by an oblong cross section that is uniform along the entire length of the shaft.
Claims20
A medicinal applicator comprising:
- a base;
- a medicinal cream receiving port in the base;
- a shaft extending along a shaft axis from the base and terminating at an applicator cap,
- the shaft having a cross-section that is essentially a rectangle with upper rounded corners that extend from rectangle sides and the upper rounded corners connect at a shaft leading edge via an upper uninterrupted linear extension, and
- lower rounded corners that extend from the rectangle sides and connect at a shaft trailing edge via a lower uninterrupted linear extension,
- the upper uninterrupted linear extension resides along the shaft leading edge and the lower uninterrupted linear extension resides along the shaft trailing edge, the shaft leading edge is diametrically opposed to the shaft trailing edge;
- at least one exit aperture located in one of the rectangle sides;
- an unobstructed pathway in communication with the receiving port and the exit aperture.
An applicator for medicinal cream comprising:
- a rectal/vaginal shaft separated from a handle via a stop plate;
- a shaft axis extending through the center of the handle to a shaft cap to where the shaft terminates distally,
- the shaft defined by a shaft leading edge diametrically opposed to a shaft trailing edge;
- an unobstructed pathway in communication with a receiving port in the handle and an exit aperture in the shaft;
- a cross-section of the shaft is oblong shaped and the cross-section is essentially uniform along the entire length of the shaft.
A method for applying a medicinal cream, the method comprising:
- providing a medicinal applicator that includes a shaft separated from a handle via a stop plate,
- a cross-section of the shaft is oblong shaped;
- attaching a tube or syringe, that contains the medicinal cream, to an attachment region at a proximal end of the handle;
- inserting the shaft into an anal or a vaginal cavity in a neutral position, which defines a neutral axis;
- injecting the medicinal cream into the cavity via an exit aperture that is located in the shaft;
- and
- dispersing the medicinal cream injected in the cavity by rotating the shaft about the neutral axis and/or tipping the shaft at an angle of greater than 10° from the neutral axis.
