Sephure Suppository Applicator

Sephure Suppository Applicator is a single-use, disposable suppository application device that assists patients in easily, comfortably, and hygienically administering rectal suppositories. Affected by Crohn's Disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, the designer was looking for assistance with her struggle in taking her prescribed suppository medication. Sephure employs a unique patented technology that allows air to exit the body during both administration and withdrawal of the applicator.

Administering suppositories with a Sephure applicator can be accomplished in any position the patient finds comfortable, in less than 5 seconds. Sephure places the suppository at the ideal position within the body so the medication isn't felt nor is the evacuation reflex triggered, thus keeping the medication inside the body for absorption.

Benefits of Sephure vs. Vaginal Applicator Design

Suppository medication melts at body temperature. In the event that trapped air escapes from the body after the medication has melted but before the body has had time to absorb it, the medication can leak potentially causing embarrassing issues or lower-than-intended dosages.

This applicator is uniquely designed for rectal administration of suppository medication by allowing air to escape the body, and also by placing the medication away from the nerve endings which signal the body to expel the contents of the bowel, ensuring all medication absorbs correctly, which can also be difficult using finger administration.

Who uses Sephure?

Millions of people across the world have been prescribed suppository medication for a variety of symptoms or life experiences that necessitate this type of treatment, so if you or a loved one has been prescribed suppository medication, remember you are not alone.

Suppositories may be used to treat many different ailments and symptoms from digestive diseases, and functional bowel disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome to hemorrhoids and anal fissures. People living with spinal cord injuries, those requiring daily bowel regimens, and people occasionally suffering migraines may also rely heavily on suppository medication. It is also a mainstay in palliative or end-of-life care situations for controlling pain and nausea.

Both men and women are equally affected by diseases and ailments that may require suppository treatments. From the very young to seniors and the elderly, suppositories are used to treat symptoms at any age.

Suppositories have been used for hundreds of years as a trusted and pragmatic delivery method of medication, however, they can be impractical for 21st-century lifestyles. Sephure has been created to help ease this difficulty.
