Abstract

A dispenser for delivering a suppository within a body cavity. The dispenser has two main components: a barrel and a plunger. The barrel includes a head, a foot, and a body having a length and extending between the head and the foot. The barrel further defines an axial passage disposed along substantially the entire length of the body beginning at the foot and ending proximate the head, and includes a side aperture providing external access through the body of the barrel to the axial passage at the head of the barrel. The plunger includes a nose, a tail, and a frame extending between the nose and the tail. The plunger is sized to travel within the axial passage of the barrel between a relaxed position and a compressed position, in which a suppository is ejected from the side aperture, upon actuation.
