Abstract:
A delivery system for enabling the dispensing of a medicinal composition directly to an internal site in a human body, said medicinal composition comprises a therapeutic and anti-viral douche formulation, said delivery system comprising:A. a container a. constructed for receiving and retaining the medicinal compositions therein, b. incorporating an exit portal; and c. comprising a thin-walled, flexible construction; B. closure means mounted to the portal of the container for securely retaining the medicinal composition; and comprising a cap member affixed to the portal of the container for enabling the medicinal composition in said container to be dispensed directly to the desired internal site in the human body by inserting the elongated tube portion into an orifice of the human body, advancing the tube portion into the cavity associated therewith and enabling the medicinal composition to be dispensed directly to the desired site as pressure is applied to the thin walled, flexible container; C. a medicinal composition in the form of a therapeutic and anti-viral douche formulation comprising: a. between about 0.01% and 0.08% by weight based upon the weight of the entire composition of citric acid powder; b. between about 1% and 5% by weight based upon the weight of the entire composition of one selected from the group consisting of nonoxynol-9 and octoxynol-9; c. between about 8% and 12% by weight based upon the weight of the entire composition of glycerine; d. between about 0.30% and 2.0% by weight based upon the weight of the entire composition of povidone iodine; e. an effective amount of at least one therapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of silver nitrate solutions, silver nanocrystals, and equivalent compounds; and f. deionized water forming the balance; D. a delivery nozzle or cannula mounted to the closure means and comprising: a. an elongated tube portion having an overall length constructed for ease of insertion into an orifice communicating with a cavity of the human body, said overall length being constructed to assure the complete insertion of the tube portion into the cavity without injuring any surrounding tissue; and b. at least one aperture formed along the distal end of said elongated tube portion for enabling the douche formulation to be dispensed from the container through the tube portion directly to the desired site; and c. an elongated delivery channel formed by the internal diameter of said tube portion and constructed for controlling the delivery pressure produced by squeezing the thin-walled flexible container.
