Abstract
The invention medicine dispensing pacifier provides an easy way to administer liquid medicine to baby or small child, it comprises two parts, a modified pacifier and a syringe. The fluid delivery pathway characterized within the nipple and body of the pacifier is comprised of a flexible silicone conduit tubing displacing through the center of the single silicone lumen nipple, shield, and collar assembly, exiting the proximal end allowing for conduit flexibility as well as visual reference, and attached to the hollow rigid polyvinyl chloride material female connector port, defining the modified pacifier fluid delivery pathway. The syringe is of common type conveniently available on the market in which the liquid medicine is drawn up, accurately measured, and expelled, the filled syringe male nozzle is coupled with the female connector port, priming the modified pacifier delivery pathway allowing the liquid medicine to be administered into baby or small child oral cavity.
Description
Disclosure:
The invention designed as a medicine dispensing pacifier is comprised of a two piece unit which requires a minimum assembly, resulting in a leakproof liquid medicine delivery system, the invention is a modified pacifier with an internal fluid delivery pathway and a syringe, the two pieces are united to make a flexible device that responds to the requirements of a safe, accurate, and ease of use in administering liquid medicine to a baby and small child's oral cavity. Attempts have been made to create an accurate way to dispense liquid medication to the baby or small child's oral cavity via use of measuring spoons, syringes, measuring dropper or medicine measuring cup, however none of these type devices are able to appease a fussy, crying baby or small child, and in trying to force feed said baby or small child usually results in a less than satisfactory effect. The medicine dispensing pacifier provides a comfort factor in the delivery of liquid medicine orally to baby or small child.
According to the invention is a medicine dispensing pacifier comprising the integral of two pieces combined with minimal assembly, and the result is a firm but flexible unit who's function is to dispense liquid medicine in a safe, accurate, and easy to use manner.
When attempting to administer liquid medicine with a spoon, syringe, medicine measuring cup, or dropper the baby or small child must open the mouth creating a larger than necessary opening to take said medication, allowing opportunity for accurately dosed medicine to drip or spill out resulting in decreased recommended dosage administered, and if the care giver tries to compensate for spillage the baby or small child could be over medicated. With the medicine dispensing pacifier the baby or small child is comforted by the familiarity and feel of the pacifier placed in the oral cavity, when said baby or small child begins to suckle on the nipple, with lips securely fitted around said nipple, in a comfortable and natural manner, the invention is placed part way down into the oral cavity, with the accurately measured medication having being primed and ready in said invention can be gently administered with a clear, secure, unobstructed pathway of treatment and in so doing this device decreases the amount of air entering the stomach thereby decreasing abdominal discomfort.
The medicine dispensing pacifier is characterized by the modification in introducing a flexible silicone conduit tubing which is of similar type but not exclusive to preexisting intravenous tubing material currently on the market. The flexible silicone conduit tubing is of uniform wall thickness with a distal and proximal end, the proximal end is connecter to an open hollow rigid plastic polyvinyl chloride material type tube which has a uniform wall thickness comprising of a distal end, and with the proximal female end having a protruding notch to assist with a fluid tight friction fit connection when attached to the distal end of the fluid filled syringe. The said proximal end of conduit tubing and distal end of the said hollow tube are adhered together via suitable preexisting safe process such as heat, non toxic adhesive, or other suitable method.
The medicine dispensing pacifier elongated flexible silicone single lumen nipple with the flexible silicone dispensing conduit tubing can be manufactured as a one or two piece item. The one piece nipple/conduit silicone manufacturing process being a uni-body system where the nipple and flexible conduit tubing are manufactured in a single molding. The two piece manufacturing process requires the silicone nipple and silicone conduit tubing being molded separately then fused together with a preexisting process such as heat, nontoxic adhesive or other such suitable method.
The medicine dispensing pacifier assembly body can be conveniently manufactured by commonly available preexisting suitable process. The body is molded in two pieces the shield, and collar assembly which when combined provide a unitary construction and permanent anchor to the proximal nipple wall as well as adequate opening for the flexible silicone conduit tubing.
The shield is constructed of a stiff or rigid plastic material, flat or bowed in shape with an anterior opening in the center which can be round or elongated, adequate to accommodate the flexible silicone conduit tubing and the proximal edge of the flexible silicone nipple wall, the posterior side of the shield is spaced in opposed relation to the collar assembly with spacing adequate to accommodate the said proximal nipple wall, the said shield can be clear, can have any peripheral color or graphic. The collar assembly is constructed of a stiff or rigid plastic material open on the anterior side, having a flat parallel wall with an opening in the center adequate in diameter to accommodate the flexible silicone conduit tubing in order to exit on the posterior side. The anterior collar is spaced in opposing relation with the posterior side of the shield in order to allow a tight permanent assembly, with the proximal end of the silicone nipple wall sandwiched between the posterior shield and anterior collar assembly sections. The posterior shield, proximal nipple edge, and anterior collar assembly are fused together with non toxic adhesive, heat, or other such appropriate method or combination of.
The medicine dispensing pacifier syringe is latex free of common type that is readily, and conveniently available on the market. The locking ring at the distal end of the syringe facilitates digit manipulation, is configured such that the interior locking ring contains threads which are adapted to receive the protruding friction fit connection notch which is exteriorly disposed on the female proximal connector port, with a slight clockwise turn the locking ring via friction fit connects snugly the female connector port with the tapered male nozzle. The elongated body of the syringe is also the fluid receiving chamber with incremental marking for accuracy. The plunger is a seal ring made of rubber attached to the stem and moves in a vertical direction creating suction when moved in the proximal direction or ejecting contents when moved distally.
The liquid medicine can be drawn into the syringe elongated body via the tapered male nozzle and ejected through the same port.
The medicine dispensing pacifier elongated flexible silicone nipple is held in the baby or small child's mouth between a middle section of the palate and tongue, on which said baby or small child exerts suction by movements of the upper and lower jaw, and tongue.
The medicine dispensing pacifier purpose and function is for administering liquid medicine with the use of a detachable latex free syringe into the oral cavity of a baby or small child.
The preferred aspect of the invention medicine dispensing pacifier is the flexible silicone conduit tubing and hollow rigid plastic polyvinyl chloride tube with friction fit connection notch defines the pacifier fluid delivery pathway, from the distal end of the elongated silicone nipple the said pathway displacing through the body of the single lumen silicone nipple, accommodated through the shield, displacing through the collar assembly, and exiting a short distance which allows the said conduit flexibility and visual referencing on the posterior side of the said collar prior to connection to the distal end of the rigid hollow plastic polyvinyl chloride tube with the proximal female connector port having a notch which enables for a fluid tight, friction fit connection with the tapered male nozzle and tightening ring on the syringe.
The function of this invention medicine dispensing pacifier is to overcome the problems with the delivery of liquid medicine to a baby or small child, it allows an accurate dosage unit to be administered orally in a structurally simple, comfortable, easy to load, reusable, and easy to clean device.
