    摘要: Today's suppositories are typically packaged individually for digital administration into the anal canal of a patient. A suppository applicator described herein, which works with individually packaged suppositories, can alternatively be shipped in a prepackaged operational arrangement with a suppository to enable the patient to administer the suppository through use of the applicator in a single operation after opening a hygienic wrapper containing the applicator-suppository combination. A method for manufacturing a suppository includes manufacturing the suppository in the presence of and in contact with an element configured to be used to insert the suppository into a body cavity. The method may include using the element to define a shape of the suppository during the manufacturing. The resulting applicator-suppository combination is more hygienic and easier to handle than the separate applicator and suppository and provides more efficiency from time of opening the packaging to time of commencing administration of the suppository.

    摘要: A single-use suppository insertion device includes a barrel, a plunger to be movably coupled to the barrel, and a disabling feature of the barrel or the plunger. The disabling feature may be activated during operational motion of the plunger relative to the barrel, such as during insertion of or withdrawal away from a suppository. The device can include a structural element of the barrel or the plunger to engage with the disabling feature of the barrel or the plunger during insertion of or withdrawal away from the suppository to activate the disabling feature. The disabling feature may be implemented in a number of ways to ensure single-use operation of the single-use suppository insertion device.
