4. SUMMARY OF INVENTION : :
"INSTRUMENT FOR THE EASY POSITIONING OF EYE MEDICATION"
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows.
According to the invention, an instrument for the delivery of eye medication into the eye of a client, is comprised of a cuplike instrument attached to a sgueeze-type medication bottle or other container. The said instrument ~roperly aligns the container and the eye of a patient for the easy delivery of ~-eye medication whenever required. The bottle has a body defining a volume for eye drop solution, the body having a base, a shoulder and a neck region. A nozzle defines an orifice for delivery of solution from the volume. The device supports the nozzle relative to an eye of the client requiring treatment, and includes a cup like device that may be supported at the neck or distally, including the annular ring, of the dispenser bottle, ~C) and is contoured to conform gently to the facial tissue around the periorbital area of the clients body.
In the preferred embodiment, the primary object is to provide an inexpensive, disposable or re-useable, lightweight, economically packaged, simply produced device that may be easily ~5 temporarily or permanently installed that overcomes the ` 2~8~739 shortcomings of the prior art devices. Features and benefits of this invention include ease and safety of instilling medication in the orbital area leaving surgically involved areas undisturbed. The height and position of the medication delivery r; system is designed to prevent contact with and contamination from the eye. Avoids wastage of the medication by accurate instillation. Provides a physically stable support for those incapable of the normal effective application of these medications, either old or young, and assists medication delivery 1l:) in the absence of light or sight. Psychologically gives the user a sense of security and independence.
In another aspect of this invention, the device may be reversed and removably fixed onto the delivery system for easy transportation and storage. In replacing the cap to the delivery device, this fixedly attaches the instrument to the device, preventing loss of the device or medication contents.
In another aspect of the invention, the object is that it is to be made of any material of any color, that may be recycled, or recyclable.
In another aspect of this invention, the said object is to provide an improved medication applicator that is utilized as a holder for medication containers so as to direct the medication into any portion of the eye desired by the patient.
Further obiects of the invention will appear as the ~5 description proceeds. To the accomplishment of the above and 2~17~,9 related objects, this invention maybe embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings, attention being called to the fact, however, that the drawings are illustrative only, and that changes may be made in the specific construction illustrated and described within the scope of the appended claims.
