Description

The utility model relates to devices specially designed for bringing pharmaceutical products into specific physical or acceptable forms of use.

As you know, existing on the modern market drugs (drugs) are presented in various forms (solid, soft and liquid), which quite often require preliminary preparation before use (for example, dividing tablets into parts to select the required dose, or crushing to simplify use etc.). Household appliances used in this case, such as spoons, cannot always ensure the proper preparation of drugs for use, in particular, the creation of a powder from tablets, and the used special products also have a limited scope and are not always convenient.

So, known ampoule opener [Patent RU No. 2488546, publ. 07/27/13], characterized in that it contains a collet clamp, and the inner surfaces of the collet are in contact with the body and the head of the ampoule before and after the neck of the ampoule.

Known separator tablets [US Patent No. 5,118,021, publ. 06/02/1992], which has a tray and a hinged lid with a blade adapted to separate the tablet. The device is also adapted for use as a container for solid drugs.

Known device for crushing tablets [US Patent No. 5,924,636, publ. 07/20/1999], containing handles, one of which has a crushing chamber with holes for the exit of the formed particles, and the other - a press.

Also known separator tableted dosage forms [US Patent No. 6,474,525 B1, publ. 11/05/2002], which has a tray and a special peg designed only for dividing tablets.

Known universal separator tablets [US Patent No. 7,000,815 B1, publ. 02/21/2006], which has a tapering tray and a splitting blade.

Known device for crushing tablets [US Patent No. 6,637,685 B1, publ. 28.10.2003], containing handles, each of which has a press for the destruction of solid drugs.

Also known separator tablets [US Patent No. 2005/0067452 A1, publ. 03/31/2005], which has a container for storing drugs, a tray and a hinged lid with a blade adapted to separate the tablet.

Known device for dividing solid drugs [Patent RU No. 82620, publ. 05/10/2009], containing two parts connected to each other and made with the possibility of mutual rotational movement relative to the axis of rotation, located parallel or in the plane of placement of the medicinal product, while a cutting element is installed in the upper part of the device, and a drug fixator is located in the lower part of the device. preparations, characterized in that the latch contains two guiding elements, one of which is made in the form of a fixed stop with boundary walls symmetrically located relative to the edge of the cutting element, and the second guiding element is made in the form of a pusher with the possibility of reciprocating movement relative to the fixed stop, on the surface of the pusher from the side of the area for placing the drug is formed by limiting edges, between which a longitudinal slot is made, located opposite the cutting element.

A common disadvantage of these devices is the limited scope of their application, since they are capable of performing only certain individual functions, for example, dividing or crushing tablets, or only opening ampoules.

Closest to the claimed utility model is "A device to facilitate the use of drugs" [Patent RU No. 132347, publ. 09/20/2013], which we have chosen as a prototype. It contains a frame with a recess for solid dosage forms, the working part of which is made in the form of a chamber with a piston for crushing drugs, movably attached to the frame in the area of the chamber and the stand extending from it, a handle with a T-cut for removing the cork from the bottle, equipped with a blade for grinding drugs, the cutting surface of which faces the frame with the possibility of the blade penetrating into the specified recess, recesses made in the handle and the frame of the same length of the grooved shape with the possibility of forming a slot by them for squeezing out the soft dosage form from the tube.

The disadvantages of this useful model are mainly the difficulty in flushing the chamber and the piston from the particles of crushed tableted drugs, which negatively affects the effectiveness of drugs, since the particles remaining from the previous crushing, in particular tablets, can mix with the new drug, enhancing or weakening the effect of the latter. The narrow removable tray contained on the device also does not allow evacuating all parts of the drug from the chamber, which reinforces the above disadvantage.

The blade, installed in the upper handle, is made of metal and, due to the flattened depression in the frame, cuts the drug with the formation of multiple fragments, leading to errors in the selection of an adequate dose of the drug, and the round shape of the indicated depression does not allow correctly centering the divisible drug, which also disrupts the dosing process.

The absence of special elements that allow opening the ampoules limits the scope of the said device, which is also its disadvantage.

The purpose of the utility model is to create an easy-to-use and easy-to-use multifunctional device that allows opening ampoules with any type of stem, squeezing out soft forms of drugs from tubes, dividing tablets into equal parts, storing preparations prepared for use, as well as crushing and grinding as safely as possible. solid drugs, especially when it is necessary to prepare drugs of different pharmacological orientation.

The technical result of this goal is achieved by creating a device consisting of connected by a pin 1 in the proximal part of the upper (2) and lower (3) half-arms, to which the container 4 with the lid 5 is distally attached.

The upper half-handle 2 contains guides (6) and centering (7) pins, a separator 8, a depression 9 for a tube press, as well as a niche 10 for a wide stem of an ampoule with a projection 11, a groove 12 for ampoules with a narrow stem and a hook 13 for fixing the container 4 ...

The utility model is used as follows.

For safe opening of the ampoule, it is installed in the distal part of the half-arms 2 and 3, from which the container 4 is previously removed, so that its stem (if it is wide) is tightly pressed by niches 10 and 26, and the projections 27 and 11 clasp its neck, or so that the stem (narrow) plunges into the channel formed by the grooves 12 and 28. Then, while continuing to squeeze the half-handles 2 and 3 with one hand, the user pushes the device away from the ampoule body, which is in the other hand.

To detach the synthetic cork from the bottle, it is placed in the shaped cutout 30 and moves towards the shaft 22 until the thin walls of the present cutout go under the cap, after which the device rises up relative to the bottle, thereby achieving its opening.

For a more economical use of the soft dosage form contained in the tube, it is placed with its seam into the slot formed by the recesses 9 and 25 of the closed upper (2) and lower (3) half-arms and moves towards its nose, thereby achieving optimal extrusion of, for example, ointment. In this case, the displacement of the half-arms is prevented by the centering pin 7, located in the seat 21, and their divergence is prevented by the container 4, which is fixed in the distal part due to the presence of the hooks 13 and 29 and the reciprocal recess 33.

To divide the tablet into equal parts, it is placed in the lower half-handle 3 so that its edges are in close contact with the inner walls of the tray 24, and the risk coincides with the top of the separator 8. Then, the upper half-handle 2 goes down and pressed against the lower one. Accurate separation of the solid dosage form is ensured by the presence of guide pins 6, reaching into the seats 20.

For crushing solid drugs, it is placed in a glass 23 (or container 4), previously installed in the shaft 22 and the upper half-handle 2 is lowered towards the lower (3) is pressed against it. The crushing of the preparation is achieved by the press 15 of the pusher, and the reliable fit of the glass 23 in the shaft 22 is ensured by the contact of the rim 32 and the chamfer 41 (or rim 39 of the container 4).

To grind, for example, a tablet into powder, after actions similar to crushing, the user continues to squeeze the half-handles 2 and 3 in one hand, the other grabs the stop 38 and rotates the glass 23 around its axis.

When crushing or rubbing drugs with a different pharmacological direction, glass 23 or container 4, as well as press 15, removed from housing 14, are washed with water before each new drug.

For storage and transportation of the prepared preparation, the glass 23, or the container 4 with the drug contained in it, is tightly closed by the lid 5 due to the interaction of its hook 35 with the recess 40 (or 33) located on the inner surface of these parts.

The positive effect of the claimed technical solution lies not only in convenience in work, but also in ensuring optimal opening of ampoules with any type of stem, squeezing out soft forms of drugs from tubes, dividing tablets into equal parts, storing preparations prepared for use, as well as the safest possible crushing and rubbing solid drugs, especially if it is necessary to prepare drugs of different pharmacological orientation, due to the presence of a removable crush press, which, like glasses and containers in contact with the drug, is rinsed with water, which allows you to reliably remove the remnants of the previous drug.
