Abstract
An intraoral administration device having an elongated, substantially plate-like arcuate oral screen designed to conform to the teeth and intended to be accommodated in the space between the teeth and the lips. The oral screen includes containers for the agent to be administered intraorally, which containers have provision for allowing the free entrance of saliva into the container and its exit therefrom. An administration system using the administration device and an active agent, such as for example an agent against caries or otitis media is also contemplated.
Claims17
Intraoral administration device comprising:
- an elongated, substantially plate-like arcuate oral screen designed to conform to the teeth and intended to be positioned in a space between the teeth and the lips so that a first surface of the oral screen faces the lips and a second surface of the oral screen faces the teeth, and
- containers defined at opposite lateral end regions of said oral screen for an agent to be administered intraorally, said containers being adapted to allow free entrance of saliva into the containers and its exit therefrom.
Intraoral administration device comprising:
- an elongated, substantially plate-like arcuate oral screen designed to conform to the teeth and intended to be positioned in a space between the teeth and the lips, and
- containers for an agent to be administered intraorally, said containers being adapted to allow free entrance of saliva into the containers and its exit therefrom,
- wherein each of the containers is formed by a strip which is attached to a surface of the oral screen facing the cheeks and a recess extending in a cup-like manner from the surface.
Intraoral administration device comprising:
- an elongated, substantially plate-like arcuate oral screen designed to conform to the teeth and intended to be positioned in a space between the teeth and the lips, and
- containers for an agent to be administered intraorally, said containers being adapted to allow free entrance of saliva into the containers and its exit therefrom,
- wherein the administration device is made from an elastic material, and wherein the containers include strips which extend over recesses in the oral screen to close the containers and are made in one piece with the oral screen.
Intraoral administration device comprising:
- an elongated, substantially plate-like arcuate oral screen designed to conform to the teeth and intended to be positioned in a space between the teeth and the lips,
- containers for an agent to be administered intraorally, said containers being adapted to allow free entrance of saliva into the containers and its exit therefrom, and
- lids hinged to the oral screen and provided with locking tongues for attaching the lids in closed positions to the oral screen.
Intraoral administration device comprising:
- an elongated, substantially plate-like arcuate oral screen designed to conform to the teeth and intended to be positioned in a space between the teeth and the lips, and
- containers for an agent to be administered intraorally, said containers being adapted to allow free entrance of saliva into the containers and its exit therefrom,
- wherein the container comprises sheath structures made from an elastic material and slid over opposite ends of the oral screen, said sheath structures being in sealing engagement with the oral screen and provided with apertures.
Intraoral administration device comprising:
- an elongated, substantially plate-like arcuate oral screen designed to conform to the teeth and intended to be positioned in a space between the teeth and the lips,
- containers for an agent to be administered intraorally, said containers being adapted to allow free entrance of saliva into the containers and its exit therefrom, each of the containers being formed as a sheath structure,
- a gripping ring attached to a surface of the oral screen facing the lips which extends outside the mouth in use, and
- a loop fastened to a rim part of the sheath structure which can be pulled over the gripping ring for fastening the sheath structure.
