Medication Delivery Straw
US Patent:
5718681, Feb 17, 1998
Filed:
Jan 11, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/584312
Inventors:
Christopher E. Manning - Boca Raton FL
International Classification:
A61M 3100
US Classification:
604 56
Abstract:
A medication delivery straw which delivers medication held within the straw tube. When the patient drinks fluid through the straw, the medication is dissolved and ingested by the patient. A particle barrier at one end of the straw prevents viscous or powdered medicines, or crushed tablets, from falling out of the straw. The particle barrier has apertures which allow fluid to enter the straw during use. The fluid dissolves the medication in the straw while the patient is drinking. Optional features include disposable funnels (which may be preloaded with medicine) for filling the straw with the correct dosage of medication, funnels which are capable of attaching to pill crushers, removable caps for straws with premeasured doses of medication that prevent medicine loss during handling or storage, flexible necks for ease of use, and flexible straw walls to allow crushing medicine tablets within the straw. In the alternative, a medicine sack holds the medication much like a teabag holds tea. The medicine sack is secured inside the fluid path of the straw and fluid passes through the walls of the medicine sack to dissolve the medication.
