DEFINITION

Classification: 604/57

Means for placing solid treating material in body:

(under subclass 48) Subject matter relating to a device having means for placing a body treating material in solid form in the body.

(1) Note. Included in this subclass are suppositories comprising a solid mass of body treating material and a means connected thereto for use in inserting the mass into a body orifice, e.g., a handle having one end fixed to a plug of treating material that is inserted by means of the handle into a body orifice. However, a mere holder for solid treating material which is inserted in the body, such as a perforated casing holding a solid treating material meltable or dissolvable when placed in a body orifice, is classifiable in other appropriate subclasses in this class, e.g., subclasses 285+.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

285+, for a suppository consisting of solid meltable or dissolvable material.

309, for solid body treating material applied to an external surface of the body.
