Abstract: A disposable hollow bulb-shaped applicator has an ointment-permeable soft mesh membrane which covers the bulbous end of the applicator. Resilient walls surround and interconnect both ends of the applicator, and form a chamber for holding ointment therebetween. The applicator has a necked end opposite to the bulbous end which may be attached to a container of ointment. The ointment chamber of the applicator may be filled with ointment by pressurizing the container (e.g. by squeezing) to force ointment from the container into the applicator. A plug is inserted into the necked end of the applicator to prevent the flow of ointment out of the applicator through the necked end. The filled applicator is squeezed to force ointment through the soft mesh membrane and onto the surface which is to be treated by the ointment. The applicator may be discarded after use.

Abstract: A long lasting, esthetically pleasing medicated skin care moisturizing composition comprising(1) an oil phase comprising oil from about 30% to about 80% and a non-ionic surface active agent having an HLB number of about 7 to about 12, wherein the non-ionic surface active agent is present in an amount of about 5% to about 9%;(2) an aqueous phase comprising an aqueous thickening agent from about 0.05% to about 5% and water from about 15% to about 65%;(3) an effective amount of a topical medicament; wherein the oil phase is added to the aqueous phase to form an emulsion and a topical medicament admixed into the emulsion has been developed.The method of preparation of the composition and a method of treating skin with the composition are also disclosed.

Abstract: A suppository applicator for inserting suppositories into body cavities comprises a tubular body having an open end and a closed end. A plunger is slidably disposed in the tubular body for reciprocal movement between a withdrawn position and an extended position and a combined spring is situated between the plunger and the closed end of the applicator to urge the plunger toward its extended position. The tubular body is formed with a longitudinal slot along its side which has a notch that extends from the slot to engage a latch on the plunger and hold the plunger in its withdrawn position. The open end of the tubular body is shaped to stationarily hold a suppository against the withdrawn plunger until the suppository is to be inserted into the body cavity. When the latch is released, the spring pushes the plunger against the suppository to insert the suppository into its desired placement in the body cavity.

Abstract: A procedure for preparing a palatable aerosol foam of unpleasant edible oil containing up to 80% oil is disclosed. This has been achieved by incorporating an inorganic complexing agent, water, a sweetening agent, a sensory masking agent and a propellant present in an amount sufficient by itself to function as the whipping agent and propellant into the oil to form a pleasant tasting suspension without an oily mouthfeel, unpalatable taste and unpleasant odor. Each teaspoon of aerosol foam will contain from about 2 to 4 grams of oil.
