Abstract
A device for delivering a medicated product or the like to a bodily cavity is provided. The device includes a barrel member having a distal end. The barrel member is sized to contain the medicated product. The device includes a plunger sized to extend into the barrel member. A cap is adapted to move between a sealing position, in which the cap is positioned adjacent to the barrel member and seals the distal end of the barrel member, and a dispensing position, in which the cap is moved in a direction away from the barrel member. The cap includes at least one opening sized to allow the medicated product to flow through the cap when the cap is in the dispensing position. A retainer mechanism is provided for retaining the cap on the barrel when the cap is in the dispensing position.
Claims26
A device for delivering a medicated product to a bodily cavity, comprising:
- a barrel member having a distal end and a proximal end, said barrel member sized to contain the medicated product;
- a plunger sized to extend into said barrel member;
- and
- a cap adapted to move between a sealing position, in which said cap is positioned adjacent to said barrel member and seals said distal end of said barrel member, and a dispensing position, in which said cap is moved in a direction away from said barrel member, said cap including an opening sized to allow the medicated product to flow through said cap when said cap is in said dispensing position.
A device for delivering a medicated product to a bodily cavity, comprising:
- a barrel member having a distal end and a proximal end, said barrel member sized to contain the medicated product;
- a plunger sized to extend into said barrel member;
- a closure for sealing said proximal end of said barrel member;
- a cap adapted to move between a sealing position, in which said cap is positioned adjacent to said barrel member, and a dispensing position, in which said cap is moved in a direction away from said barrel member, said cap including an opening sized to allow the medicated product to flow through said cap when said cap is in said dispensing position;
- and
- a retainer sized to prevent said cap from being removed from said barrel member.
An assembly comprising:
- a medicated product;
- and
- a device for delivering said medicated product to a bodily cavity, said device including
- a barrel member having a distal end, a proximal end, and a passageway sized to contain said medicated product,
- a piston positioned in said barrel member and sized to seal said proximal end of said barrel member,
- a plunger sized to extend into said barrel member, and
- a cap adapted to move between a sealing position, in which said cap is positioned adjacent to said barrel member, and a dispensing position, in which said cap is moved in a direction away from said barrel member, said cap including an opening sized to allow said medicated product to flow through said cap when said cap is in said dispensing position.
