The present disclosure generally relates to a dual spout pill storage and swallowing assist bottle device intended to be carried by a user. The bottle device includes two distinct drinking spouts and is configured to allow a user to both drink from the bottle device as normal and also drink from the bottle in a way to assist the user with swallowing a pill.

A device for administering medicine to a person includes a housing that supports an edible carrier. An element is disposed within the edible carrier for forming a recess within the edible carrier when the element and edible carrier are separated. The method includes the steps of forming the recess within the edible carrier, placing medicine within the recess, and administering the edible carrier and medicine combination to the recipient. The edible carrier provides lubrication and a pleasant taste to the person receiving the medicine. The housing may be in the form a spoon with the edible carrier sealed to the spoon.

An oral appliance as swallowing auxiliary device with coverage of maxillary teeth and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The oral appliance comprises a retention framework and a palatal pad. The retention framework is manufactured according to the surface of maxillary dentition, and some case according to the surface of gingiva around the maxillary teeth together. The palatal pad corresponds to the swallowing and pronouncing functional position of tongue and palate. The oral appliance in the present invention is made by a first material and a second material, such as elastic and resiliently soft material, and it obtains well retention force by the material embracing the undercut between the path of insertion of the device and the surface of maxilla teeth or gingiva around the maxillary teeth. The oral appliance can get well retention to withstand the swallowing force and improve the functional performance as maximum tongue pressure, thereby improving the oral intake function and facilitating the dysphagia rehabilitation.

A method, device, and kit for providing fluid to a patient, the device includes a food-contact-safe sponge and a handle, the handle supporting the sponge.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical dosage form for application to a mucous membrane, in particular to a buccal, intestinal, rectal or vaginal mucous membrane, comprising at least one string-like or strip-like preparation comprising the active pharmaceutical ingredient, the dosage from being configured to be wettable during a step of administration to a patient. The invention also relates to a method of producing the pharmaceutical dosage form.

A pill swallowing device comprising a deformable reservoir for holding an edible liquid; a liquid refilling port attached to the deformable reservoir; a pill transit port for loading and discharging pills attached to the deformable reservoir; and a cap detachably connected to the pill transit port, the cap comprising a pill-positioning insert that engages the pill, that projects into the deformable reservoir for directing the pill inside the reservoir.

The invention relates to a body (4) intended for being mounted to/on an outlet of a container with a fluid, adapted for receiving a container (1) for administering a solid medicinal product or a dietary supplement together with a fluid. The invention further relates to the container (1) for administering a solid medicinal product or a dietary supplement together with a fluid, intended for being placed, at least partly, in the body (4) intended for being mounted to a container with a fluid. The invention further relates to a device for administering a solid medicinal product or a dietary supplement together with a fluid, comprising the body (4) for receiving the container (1), intended for being mounted on a container with a fluid, and the container (1) for administering a solid medicinal product or a dietary supplement together with a fluid.

The dual spout pill storage and swallowing assist bottle device disclosed herein is intended to be carried by a user and provide a mobile source of fluids, as in the case of a fluid bottle. The device provides two distinct drinking spouts and is configured to allow a user to both drink from the bottle as normal and drink from the bottle in a way to assist the user with swallowing pills. To perform these dual functions the dual spout pill storage and swallowing assist bottle device comprises a standard drinking spout and a pill straw with a reversibly deployable spout incorporated into the lid of the device. By this design the device may be used to drink fluids without hindrance as desired, and to also facilitate a straw-assisted vacuum swallowing of a pill when needed. The device may further comprise a storage compartment for carrying pills and other items, and may further comprise a pill retaining insert for the standard spout.

Disclosed is an oral drug delivery device, comprising a tubular member, a drug holding part, a device cap and a turbulence-creating means. The tubular member has openings at both ends and an inner cavity; the opening at one end is a first opening and the opening at the other end is a second opening; the inner cavity communicates the first opening and the second opening. The turbulence-creating means comprises a step structure or a fold structure, and is disposed in the inner cavity and positioned between the second opening and the drug holding part. By using the oral drug delivery device of the present invention, turbulence can be generated during a normal sipping process, thereby providing ample mixing of drug-containing granules or multi-particulates with drinkable liquids. Moreover, the device is telescopic, which reduces the size and is convenient to carry.

A carrying case has first and second clam shell members hingedly connected along one side thereof and defines a interior cavity when in a closed position. At least a portion of an oral device is disposed between the first and second clam shell members with a support member engaging and supporting the oral device such that an intraoral bolus simulator is suspended in the interior cavity free of any engagement with the carrying case. The intraoral bolus simulator may include lubricated patches transformable from a first state, wherein the lubricated patches each comprise water soluble thermoplastic particles suspended in a silicone matrix, to a second state, wherein the water soluble thermoplastic particles are depleted from the silicone matrix. A method of stimulating an oral cavity includes depleting the water soluble thermoplastic particles from the silicone matrix, and presenting a rough surface to the user with the depleted lubricated patches.
