Abstract
Mouth adapter (1) for oral administration of a fluid mixture, comprising a generally elongate body (10) having a proximally disposed handle end (12) and a distally disposed outlet end (11); a lumen (15) provided in said body (10) adapted for receiving a syringe (2), said syringe (2) comprising a tip (24) extending from a distal end wall (23); and an outlet (16) in communication with said lumen (15) provided in said outlet end (11), wherein said outlet end (11) has a rounded, smooth and substantially rigid outer surface (50), the mouth adapter (1) being provided with stop means (40, 41, 42, 43) for preventing said tip (24) from extending from the exterior surface of the outlet end (11).
Claims22
Mouth adapter comprising:
- a unitary one-piece body entirely of a material that is substantially rigid and not compressible by hand having a first elongated section with an outlet at a distal end having an outlet opening, said first section distal end being substantially rigid and not compressible by hand and having a rounded, smooth surface to be directly engaged by the lip of the mouth;
- a lumen extending through the length of said first section having an opening at a proximal end adapted for receiving a syringe having a tip extending from a distal end wall of a barrel that is to be inserted from outside of said body into the opening of the lumen at the proximal end of the first section, the distal outlet end of said lumen being axially aligned with said first section outlet end outlet opening,
- stop means at the proximal end of the first section for preventing the syringe tip from extending from the exterior surface of said first section outlet end, and
- a second section extending at an angle from said proximal end of said first section of said body to serve as a handle end for said body.
Mouth adapter comprising:
- a unitary one-piece body having a first elongated section with an outlet at a distal end having an outlet opening, said first section distal end being substantially rigid and not compressible by hand and having a rounded, smooth surface to be directly engaged by the lip of the mouth;
- a lumen extending through the length of said first section having an opening at a proximal end adapted for receiving a syringe having a tip extending from a distal end wall of a barrel that is to be inserted from outside of said body into the opening of the lumen at the proximal end of the first section, the distal outlet end of said lumen being axially aligned with said first section outlet end outlet opening,
- stop means at the proximal end of the first section for preventing the syringe tip from extending from the exterior surface of said first section outlet end, and
- a second section extending substantially transverse from said proximal end of said first section of said body to serve as a handle end for said body.
Mouth adapter comprising:
- a unitary one-piece body having a first elongated section with an outlet at a distal end having an outlet opening, said first section distal end being substantially rigid and not compressible by hand and having a rounded, smooth surface to be directly engaged by the lip of the mouth;
- a lumen extending through the length of said first section having an opening at a proximal end adapted for receiving a syringe having a tip extending from a distal end wall of a barrel that is to be inserted from outside of said body into the opening of the lumen at the proximal end of the first section, the distal outlet end of said lumen being axially aligned with said first section outlet end outlet opening,
- stop means at the proximal end of the first section for preventing the syringe tip from extending from the exterior surface of said first section outlet end, and
- a second section extending at an angle from said proximal end of said first section of said body to serve as a handle end for said body and having a cup-shaped indentation for holding a liquid.
