CA 2142859

Knurled surfaces such as raised ribs (24,30) are provided on the shell (12) of a soft gelatin capsule (10) in order to enhance gripping and manipulation of the capsule (10). The capsule (10) has a removable tab (14) at one end thereof which may also be provided with a knurled surface (30). One embodiment of the invention is a capsule (10) used for delivery of medicaments to an external body surface. An alternative embodiment of the capsule (10) is disclosed for insertion into a body orifice. The composition of the capsule (10) includes a starch or starch derivative which gives the capsule (10) a drier feel and increases the coefficient of friction of the surface of the shell (12) further improving the capsule's handling characteristics.

Des surfaces striées, comportant par exemple des nervures surélevées (24, 30), sont prévues sur la coque (12) d'une capsule en gélatine souple (10) afin d'améliorer les caractéristiques de préhension et de manipulation de la capsule (10). Celle-ci (10) comprend une languette amovible (14) à l'une de ses extrémités, cette languette pouvant également comporter une surface striée (30). Selon un mode de réalisation, l'invention se rapporte à une capsule (10) utilisée pour l'administration de médicaments sur une surface externe du corps. Selon une variante, la capsule (10) est destinée à être insérée dans un orifice du corps. La composition de la capsule (10) comprend un amidon ou un dérivé d'amidon qui lui confère une sensation plus sèche et augmente le coefficient de friction de la surface de la coque (17), ce qui améliore davantage les caractéristiques de manipulation de la capsule.
