A patch applicator (30) for easy application of a transdermal patch is disclosed, wherein the applicator is specially suitable for a small transermal patch of size 20 cm2 or less. The patch applicator (30) includes a rigid release liner (31) and a flexible transdermal patch (32) releasably attached to the release liner (31). The release liner (31) has a first and second portions (36a, 36b) separated by a slit (38), and pulltabs (33a, 33b) affixed to the portions (36a, 36b). The pulltabs (33a, 33b) can extend beyond an end margin of the transdermal patch (32), and preferably extend outwardly at an acute angle for use, so that the user may easily grasp the pulltabs (33a, 33b) and remove a first portion (36a) of the release liner (31) from the patch (32). The patch (32) is then applied to the skin or mucosa, followed by removal of the second portion (36b) and final application of the patch (32). The patch applicator reduces loss in manufacturing yield, and especially benefits the elderly population.

Cette invention concerne un applicateur (30) permettant d'appliquer facilement une pastille transdermique, en particulier une petite pastille transdermique de 20 cm<2> maximum. L'applicateur de pastilles (30) comprend un revêtement rigide amovible (31) sur lequel une pastille transdermique souple (32) est fixée libérable. Le revêtement amovible (31) comporte une première et une seconde partie (36a, 36b) séparées par une fente (38) et dotées chacune d'onglets de préhension (33a, 33b). Ces onglets (33a, 33b) peuvent dépasser du bord de la pastille transdermique (32), de préférence vers l'extérieur et selon un angle aigu, de telle sorte que l'utilisateur peut les saisir facilement et retirer une première partie (36a) du revêtement amovible (31) de la pastille (32). Suit l'application de la pastille (32) sur la peau ou la muqueuse, elle même suivie du retrait de la seconde partie (36b) et de l'application finale de la pastille (32). L'applicateur de pastille se caractérise par de moindres chutes au niveau de la fabrication. Il convient tout particulièrement bien pour les personnes âgées.
