Definitions

  • This invention concerns an adapter for compressible type vials to favour the exit of their contents when needed.
  • CH 691 885 discloses an adapter for washing the nasal cavity.
  • One of the objectives therefore of this invention as claimed is to propose an adapter which can be applied to each vial containing physiological solutions for washing nasal cavities in order to grip it better, both when it is inserted in the nostrils and when it is extracted, and to simplify the squeezing action of the fingers so as to be able to control and dose the flow of the fluid that exits.
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide an adapter for above type of vials configured so that it is possible to see the content of the vial and its change in level when being used.
  • an adapter of a flexible material made up on the form of a cap element, which adapts to and encloses a top zone of the vial body and which terminates in a head that covers nozzle of the vial and has a hole in the top to allow the fluid to be delivered to flow out from the vial.
  • the cap element has on a level with its head at least a lateral vent groove to avoid the formation of overpressure if and when the head is inserted into a cavity to be washed, plus a pair of wings as a grip and to squeeze the vial by hand.
  • the vial comprises a body 11, made of a flexible material, terminates at the top with a nozzle 12 and the adapter, in each of the two versions shown, is formed of a cap element 13 dimensioned to fit and attach itself to the body 11 of the vial and to partially cover it in a zone of its top part.
  • the cap 13 ends in a head 14, ergonomic, that overlaps and encloses the nozzle 12 of the body 11 and which has a hole in the top 15 to allow the fluid contained in the vial to flow out.
  • the adapter cap 13 has two wings or extensions 16 that extend towards the bottom of the vial and which preferably have surface juts 17. The two wings delimit between them two recesses 18 on opposite sides, open towards the bottom, which leave most of the height of the vials starting from the bottom, exposed so as to be able to see its content.
  • the head 14 of the adapter cap can be olive shaped as in Figs. 2 and 3 or conical as in Fig. 4 to facilitate the introduction into the nostrils of a child if the solution in the vial is for washing the nasal cavities.
  • on at least one side of the head 14 is preferably provided a vent grove 19 designed to avoid the creation of overpressure in the nostrils of the patient when the head is introduced during the washing process.
  • the vial 11 can have latteral ribbing 20 as shown in Fig. 1 , in which case inside the adaper cap 13 will be provided some guide grooves 21 to receive and fit into said ribbings- Fig. 4 .
  • the wings or extensions 16 provide a secure grip for the fingers so as to facilitate both the coupling between vial and adapter cap- Fig. 5 - and the insertion and the extraction of the cap head in the cavity to be treated and, better still, they assist the gradual squeezing of the vial to dose the flow of the washing fluid when needed- Fig. 6 .
