Abstract
A combination mold and carrier for seamless suppositories. The dispenser has an elongated rectangular one-piece body of a flexible material that is dimensionally stable at ordinary temperatures. A plurality of suppository cavities of uniform constant tapers with rounded bottoms are formed in tubular members extending from the top side of the body. The body side surfaces are tapered with circular cross sections concentrically with the cavities. These side surfaces merge together adjacent the topside and separate into the individual tubular members towards the bottoms of the cavities. The cavities have rounded bottoms to facilitate ejection of suppositories by a manual pinching action. A circular flat base formed on the rounded walls support the body upright on a work surface with the cavities upright to receive a suppository mixture. A rectangular cover with open ends can be slideably mounted over the body in a telescoped relationship. In addition, the body can have identical cavities or cavities varying in axial dimension so that identical and graduated doses can be provided in the suppositories from the same medicinal casting compound.
