Abstract

The instrument has two crossed arms (1, 2) with a sliding ejection plunger (3) between them which in turn has a stop (5, 6) at each end whereby when both arms are closed they form a narrow cylinder flaring slightly towards the rounded tip (1a, 2a) and hollow inside. Pref. the arms are pivoted on a link pin (4) inside which the plunger is also movably arranged. All parts are rounded to avoid tissue damage and the front end can be spherical or suppository shaped. The instrument is made of plastic, especially thermoplastic such as polyethylene, polypropylene etc. or other strong plastics. The instrument prevents damage and bacterial contamination of the body orifice or of the hands.

Description

Instrument for inserting suppositories, balls, capsules or suppositories object of any shape in cavities of the human or animal organism The invention is an instrument for the introduction of suppositories, balls, capsules or Suppositories of any shape in cavities of the human or animal organism, especially in the anus or vagina.

Such an instrument should be suppositories, balls, capsules or anything Bring differently shaped suppositories safely to the place of absorption without Soiling of the fingers, e.g. B.

be done with coli or vaginal bacteria.

It is known to insert suppositories by hand. The Dirty fingers or injuries to the body cavities caused by the fingers will. Instruments for inserting suppositories, balls, capsules, etc. are so far not known.

The invention is based on the object of an instrument create, the suppositories, balls, capsules or suppositories of any shape in cavities of the human or animal organism.

ment This object is achieved according to the invention in that the InstruJ of two crossing legs and one inside the crossing legs movably arranged ejector with stops, the two Thigh necks in the closed state in front of the crossing point initially have a slender one Form cylinder, which widens slightly at the front end of the instrument, in one rounded end expires and is hollow inside.

Advantageously, the crossing legs are in a hinge pin rotatably mounted, in which the ejector is also movably arranged.

So that no injuries are caused by the instrument, it is advantageous if all parts of the instrument are rounded.

One embodiment of the instrument provides that its front End in the closed state has suppository shape or spherical shape.

The instrument according to the invention can be made of metals, in particular light metals or their alloys are produced, but advantageously the instrument exists made of plastics, preferably thermoplastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyformaldehyde, Polyamides, polyesters or other tough plastics.

The advantages that can be achieved with the invention are, in particular, that the suppositories etc. to be introduced without injury to e.g. the vagina or the The sphincter muscle must be brought to the correct place of resprption with the fingers and no contamination of the fingers or the hand with coli bacteria or vaginal bacteria he follows. The instrument itself is designed so simply that it takes just a few minutes can be cleaned and sterilized.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings. 1 shows a longitudinal section through the instrument in the closed state FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the instrument in the open state; FIG. 3 shows a Cross-section through the instrument at point A ... .A 'in Fig. 1.

The ejection device is used to insert e.g. a suppository into the anus 3 pulled out of the instrument by the hinge pin 4 with the stop 6 so far, until the stop 5 touches the femoral neck 7. Then the legs 1, 2 are spread apart, the two front ends of the instrument la, 2a are opened and the uvula is inserted into the anterior cavity of the instrument 2a. Then the instrument by pressing the legs 1, 2 z 3 together, closed by means of grip rings 9 and inserted through the sphincter so far into the anus that the sphincter is arranged approximately around the hinge pin. By opening legs 1, 2 and moving the ejector in the direction of the anus, the uvula is ejected into the anus. The guide rod is pushed into the instrument until it hits the stop 6 the leg ends 1, 2 or

the grip rings 8 touches. Then the instrument is pressed together the legs 1, 2 closed, the guide rod up to the stop 5 on the thigh neck 7 withdrawn and the instrument removed from the anus.

After cleaning the instrument, it can be used for further operations will. But it is also possible to use the instrument inexpensively as a disposable instrument Manufacture plastics that are thrown away after each introduction process.

Fig. 3 shows the front ends la, 2a of the instrument, in which one Vaginal ball 10 lies.

Depending on whether it is for infants, Toddlers, Schoolchildren or adults to insert soppositories etc. into the anus or used in the vagina, different dimensions. The following are intended for certain people and purposes some proportions are named, with the Diameter A.,. A 'and the length B ... B' of the front end of the instrument in Fig. 1 were measured.

For the introduction of suppositories into the anus of infants, e.g. an instrument suitable, the front end of which has a diameter of 8 to 9 mm, preferably 8.2 mm and a length of 25 to 28 mm, preferably 26.4 mm. For school children, the diameter of the front end of the instrument is for example 9 to 11 mm, preferably 10.1 mm and the length 28 to 30 mm, preferably 29 mm.

The proportions of the front end of the instrument for insertion of suppositories in the anus of adults lie e.g. B. between 10 to 14 mm, preferably 11 to 13 mm in diameter and 31 to 33, preferably 32.8 mm in length.

However, they can also be larger and smaller.

For the introduction of vaginal capsules or vaginal suppositories should the front end of the instrument has a diameter of 15-17, preferably 15.5 to 16 mm and a length of 22 to 26 mm, preferably 23 to 24.2 mm.

Particularly suitable proportions of the front end of the instrument for certain purposes can be found in the following table, whereby the Diameter and length of the front end of the instrument, respectively, on the distances A ... A 'or B ... B' of FIG. The remaining dimensions of the instrument are not critical. - Hand rings and thighs are to the size of human Hand adjusted. The length of the grip rings with the legs up to the point of intersection can be, for example, 5 to 12 cm.
