Hollow forms or multiple-form die molds designed to give shape (typically conical or cylindrical) to material being formed into a suppository (i.e., a solid form of medicated material that readily melts at body temperature and is intended to be inserted within a body cavity [e.g., rectum, vagina, urethra] other than the mouth in order to administer the medication). These devices are typically made of plastic, metal or rubber and can be single-use or reusable. Some single-use molds also serve as the packaging for the suppository (e.g., plastic suppository shells).
