ABSTRACT:
A safety cap for tightly closing a container having liquid radioactive iodine solution in it. The cap is provided with a pair of holes through which extend a pair of straws, each of the straws having an inner end in communication with the interior of the container. Each straw also has an outer end, one of which is insertable into the patient's mouth for drinking the liquid radioactive iodine solution in the container, and the other of which is insertable into a glass of water so that, after the patient has drunk most of the liquid radioactive iodine solution in the container, the residue of the solution in the bottle may be flushed out by forming a partial vacuum in the interior of the bottle, thereby causing the water in the glass to be drawn into the interior of the container to be mixed with the residue of the solution and, thereafter, to be drawn into the mouth and drunk by the patient. The dispenser, thus formed, prevents any accidental leakage of radioactivity from the liquid radioactive iodine solution to the ambient air and, therefore, to any person, such as a doctor or nurse, administering the dosage of liquid radioactive iodine solution. The safety cap also prevents accidental spilling of the liquid radioactive iodine solution during administration of the liquid to the patient, since access to the liquid in the container is provided by the straws, with the safety cap not removed from the bottle.
