ABSTRACT:
A multi-functional suppository encapsulator for molding, packing and administering suppositories comprising an inlet-guide groove having a plurality of identical, equally spaced holes perforated along bottom portion thereof; a plurality of container-bodies extending transversely from the convex outer surface of said groove, and having open ends thereof coaxially built-in with the peripheries of said holes individually so as to define therein bullet-shaped housings having smooth inner surface; a plurality of paired bridging strips in longitudinal alignment, with the longitudinal edges thereof parallel to said groove, each pair respectively formed on opposite sides of the close end of each said container-body and joining with adjacent pairs at ends of strips to form strip-junctures; and a plurality of recesses embed in-between and transversely to said pairs of bridging strips individually curving upward to a suitable distance along opposite sides of said close ends.
Said groove works with said container-bodies in molding molten suppository material into form and hermetically packing them individually therein to prevent from attack of moisture and air. Said trip-junctures and suitable tear-lines provided on said groove after sealed can be torn apart to separate said encapsulator into independent containers with suppositories therein. Said recesses will rupture when subject to extrusion by the contained suppositories. Rupture of said recesses is facilitated by either said strips or said groove or both working together.
Administration of suppositories fabricated by said encapsulator will be free from dosage loss and contamination of suppositories and patient-administrator cross-infections.
