Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a solid suppository inserter used when inserting a solid suppository into the anus.

<Prior art> Analgesics, antipyretics, hemorrhoids, etc. have traditionally been used as solid suppositories inserted through the anus, but since the drugs are not absorbed in the anal canal (about 2 cm long),
It was necessary to insert the suppository into the rectum. In order to ensure that the suppository is inserted into the rectal ampulla,
It is necessary to push the suppository completely deep into the anal canal, that is, 10 to 15 mm from the anus. Traditionally, suppositories were inserted by nurses and others by pushing them in with their fingers.
Possibly due to psychological resistance to the idea that the anus is a filthy place, the suppositories may not be fully inserted, resulting in the medicine sometimes leaking out of the anus or not reaching the rectal bulge, which is a problem.

<Problem that the invention aims to solve> This invention was made in view of the above problem.
To provide a solid suppository inserter which is simple in structure and inexpensive and can completely and reliably insert a suppository without touching the anus or its vicinity.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is an auxiliary device for inserting solid suppositories into the anus. It consists of an insertion section that is inserted into the anus, and a collar that is located between the handle section and the insertion section and restricts the insertion section from entering the anus, and the rear end of the suppository is inserted into the tip of the insertion section. A solid suppository inserter is employed, which is provided with a recessed fitting portion for attaching the suppository and a suppository holding means for holding the suppository inserted into the recessed fitting portion.

<Function> Since the solid suppository inserter of the present invention is constructed as described above, when inserting the suppository from the anus into the rectum, the suppository is inserted into the suppository holding means of the suppository inserter. When this is inserted through the anus, the tip of the suppository protrudes into the rectal ampulla, and the suppository is inserted into the anal canal at a position where the tip of the insertion section, that is, the suppository holding means, reaches the back of the anal canal, that is, near the inner end of the anal canal. The agent insertion tool stops advancing. When the suppository inserter is pulled out at this time, the suppository is blocked by the anal sphincter muscle and detaches from the suppository inserter, remaining there. The remaining suppository then goes deep into the body as if being sucked in by the action of the sphincter.

<Example> Next, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a solid suppository inserter according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of another embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing how the solid suppository inserter of the present invention is used.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the solid suppository inserter 1 of the present invention comprises a handle portion 2, an insertion portion 3, a collar 4, and a suppository holding means 5. If necessary, for example, as shown in FIG. A non-slip 9 may be provided.

The handle part 2 is a part for holding the solid suppository inserter by hand, and although its shape is not particularly limited, it is generally formed in a columnar or cylindrical shape, and its length is usually 4 to 5 cm. In Figure 3, a non-slip 9 is attached to the handle part 2 to prevent slipping when pulling out the solid suppository inserter.
has been established.

The insertion part 3 is a part that is inserted into the anus together with the suppository, and is generally formed in a cylindrical or cylindrical shape so as to be easily inserted into the anus and not to injure the anus when inserted. The tip is beveled and smooth. A recess 7 into which the rear end of the suppository is inserted is bored in the distal end of the insertion part 3, and a suppository holding means holds a part of the suppository inserted into the recess 7. 5 is provided. The recess 7 has a shape that matches the shape of the rear end of the suppository, and is generally formed to a depth of 7 to 8 mm. The suppository holding means 5 may be, for example, a rod-shaped protrusion 6 drilled on the longitudinal axis as shown in FIGS. A plurality of gripping pieces 8 and the like are employed.

The collar 4 restricts the entry of the suppository inserter into the anus, and is provided at a position 15 mm or more away from the tip of the insertion portion 3, that is, the tip of the suppository holding means 5. The reason why we decided to position the flange 4 at least 15 mm from the tip of the insertion tube was because the length of the anal canal is approximately 2 cm, and the relatively large diameter part of the tip of the suppository should not protrude into the rectal enlargement. For example, suppositories can be pushed into the rectal ampulla by the action of the sphincter muscles. As a matter of course, the tsuba 4 also has the function of guarding the anus from touching. Fig. 4 shows the state in which the solid suppository inserter 1 is completely inserted, and the bulge at the tip of the suppository 1B extends into the rectal bulge R.
The collar 4 protrudes inward, and the rear end reaches near the inner end of the anal canal C, and the collar 4 covers the anus A.

<Effects of the invention> As is clear from the above explanation, using the solid suppository inserter of the present invention is hygienic as there is no need to touch the anus or its vicinity. Since the entry of the suppository inserter is prevented, the suppository can be inserted safely and reliably.
