Suppository Mould
Description
Stainless steel comprising three parts, two halves each with six indentations screwed together with a circular knob. Each half is 86 mm x 25 mm x 8 mm. One half has two studs at its lower corners which engage with two corresponding holes on the other half and a knob with a threaded bar that holds the halves together. The knob is 21 mm in diameter at its top,. A suppository is a solid dosage form of medication that is inserted into the rectum (rectal suppository), vagina (vaginal suppository), or urethra (urethral suppository), where it dissolves or melts and exerts local or systemic effects. Pharmacists use these moulds to create the suppository. One half is stamped '13' and 'P', the other half '15' and '13'.
