Description

  The present invention relates to a suppository insertion aid for inserting a suppository into the anus.

Suppository has medicinal properties such as antipyretic drugs, anticonvulsants, and vomiting prevention, and is a very useful dosage form for children, the elderly, persons with disabilities and patients who have difficulty taking oral medicine. In addition, it is necessary to insert it deep into the anus to some extent, which is difficult for an inexperienced user.
In addition, when used for a large number of patients in hospitals and nursing homes, inserting them deeply with fingers has sanitation problems such as bacterial and viral infections.
In order to solve such a problem, the use of an insertion assisting device is a very effective means that does not place a burden on the patient, and the technique for inserting a suppository loaded in a cylindrical body into the anus is actually disclosed in No. 9359 (see, for example, Patent Document 1) and Utility Model Registration No. 3118230 (see, for example, Patent Document 2) have been proposed. Both of the techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 have a special device for preventing the suppository from slipping out before the anus is inserted at the distal end of the outer cylinder, and the suppository is inserted into the anus by being spread with a plunger. Is.

  Recently, suppositories have been used in a wide range of age groups with various medicinal properties, but they are made of materials that melt easily at body temperature due to their nature, and are slippery when used with fingers and stored in cold places. Things are hard to slip and hard to insert. In addition, there are cases where it is difficult to obtain an effect by inserting it securely, for example, if it stays in the anus without being inserted deeply into the anus to some extent. In addition, infection with bacteria and viruses has become a problem when used in medical institutions and facilities. Using a suppository insertion aid eliminates the need to insert a finger directly into the anus and significantly reduces the risk of infection.

  Both the conventional suppository injector (Patent Document 1) and the suppository inserter (Patent Document 2) force the fingertips to spread the suppository retaining device attached to the tip of the outer cylinder when the preloaded suppository is pushed out by the plunger. Is needed. The size of the suppository is large and small for infants and adults, and split use such as 1/2 or 1/3 is often used for infants, but both devices have a small plunger tip area and are stable. There was a problem with the insertion.

  Further, since the outer cylinder insertion positioning means is not provided, there is a risk of causing scratches and pains to the rectal mucosa when it is inserted too much. Furthermore, when the suppository is used by the patient himself, the risk is likely to increase further from the viewpoint that the appropriate insertion part of the cylindrical body cannot be seen.

  In addition, there was a problem in practical use from the viewpoint that the structure is complex and disposable.

  The suppository insertion aid of the present invention is loaded with a suppository in advance in an outer cylinder having a stopper, the suppository insertion aid is pushed into the anus to the stopper, and the inner cylinder is further extended to the rear end. The purpose is to insert the suppository easily and securely into the anus by pushing it in. In addition, the product is made easier by simplifying the structure.

  The suppository insertion aid according to the present invention comprises an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder, and a suppository attached to the outer cylinder is inserted into the anus by pushing the inner cylinder, and the distal end of the outer cylinder has a plurality of tongue pieces It has a slidable stopper that contacts the anus at an appropriate position of the outer cylinder, and the inner cylinder has a pressing surface with a suppository on the tip side, and a suppository at an appropriate position. A set line for measuring the insertion position of the inner cylinder when the inner cylinder is loaded into the outer cylinder, and a circular acupressure surface for smooth insertion of the suppository into the anus is provided at the rear end. It is.

  Further, the slidable stopper provided on the outer cylinder is formed in a funnel shape and is provided with a plurality of guide lines.

  As described above, the suppository insertion assisting tool of the present invention is a suppository insertion assisting tool in which an suppository is attached in advance into an outer cylinder having a stopper and the inner cylinder is pushed to the set line, is inserted into the anus to the stopper, and the inner cylinder is pushed Thus, even first-time users, elderly people, etc. can easily use suppositories without the need for special techniques, and can be reliably and safely inserted into the anus.

  The tip of the outer cylinder is cut into a tongue shape and closed in a dome shape to prevent it from being inadvertently pulled out from the tip when filling the suppository, and can be easily opened by pushing the inner cylinder during insertion.

  Moreover, the insertion position in the anus is ensured by attaching a shallow funnel-like stopper to the outer cylinder. Moreover, it is possible to indicate an insertion position suitable for the age by making this stopper movable and providing a reference line.

  The inner cylinder is slightly smaller in diameter than the outer cylinder, slides stably and without great resistance in the outer cylinder, the inner cylinder tip is closed flat, and the contact surface with the suppository is increased to make the suppository larger or smaller Regardless of this, the suppository can be reliably pushed into the anus, and the use of 1/2, 1/3, etc. to infants can be made possible.

  In use, after the suppository is loaded into the outer cylinder in advance, insert the inner cylinder up to the set line, insert the entire insertion aid into the anus to the stopper of the outer cylinder, and push the inner cylinder to the end to open the tip, and the suppository Can be inserted into the anus without resistance.

  A circular acupressure surface larger than the diameter of the outer cylinder is attached to the rear end of the inner cylinder so that it can be easily pushed by a small force of the fingertip.

  It can be easily manufactured by simplifying the structure, and a single material such as paper or plastic can be used for easy disposal.

  The suppository insertion aid according to the present invention is formed by an outer cylinder 1 and an inner cylinder 5 that is slidably mounted on the outer cylinder 1, and the outer cylinder 1 has a distal end portion as shown in FIG. A plurality of slits 2 are formed in the inlet, and a slidable stopper 3 that comes into contact with the anus 10 at the time of insertion is provided at an appropriate position on the outer peripheral surface, and a guide line for indicating the insertion position in the vicinity of the stopper 3 A plurality of 4 are provided.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the inner cylinder 5 attached to the outer cylinder 1 has a circular flat pressing surface 6 on the tip side thereof and is in contact with a suppository 9 mounted in the outer cylinder 1. . In addition, a set wire 8 is provided at an appropriate position to accurately measure the insertion position when the inner cylinder 5 is loaded into the outer cylinder 1, and a circular shape is provided at the rear end portion for smoothly inserting the suppository 9 into the anus 10. The acupressure surface 7 is provided.

The usage state will be described with reference to FIG. 1. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the stopper 3 of the outer cylinder 1 is selected and matched with the age among the plurality of reference lines 4.
Next, a required amount of suppository 9 is loaded into the outer cylinder 1, and the inner cylinder 5 is inserted up to the set line 8 into the outer cylinder 1 loaded with the suppository.
In this state, the suppository insertion aid is inserted until the stopper 3 contacts the anus 10.
Here, by slowly pushing the acupressure surface 7 of the inner cylinder 5 with a finger, the notch 2 at the tip of the outer cylinder 1 in the anus 10 is opened, and the suppository 9 is pushed into the rectum 11.
As shown in FIG. 4, after the entire inner cylinder 5 has been pushed into the outer cylinder 1, the suppository insertion aid from which the suppository 9 has been removed is gently pulled out of the anus 10.
