Abstract

The present invention includes the composition and manufacturing of a product to treat various types of infections, and disease ailments. The invention embodies a disposable absorbent or nonabsorbent article comprising an unbound/freely associating adsorbent porous carbonaceous material for the entrapment and/or treatment of pathogens and adverse biological by-products. The product form includes three dimensional carriers such as tampons, panty liners, incontinence pads, diapers, sanitary towels, swabs, cotton balls, pouches, and/or plugs, which contain adsorbent porous carbonaceous material that effectively reduces and/or eliminates adverse situations sourcing from pathogens and harmful biological by-products, including fungi, bacteria, viruses, and parasites. The article is used to treat yeast infections, vaginitis, sexually transmitted diseases, tooth infections, abscess, nail-bed and cuticle infections, and other ailments by way of internal insertion and/or completely covering of the body cavity, mucous membrane, and/or affected areas, creating a clear and direct path for contact with pathogens and adverse biological by-products.

Dependent claims

A method for using a vaginal treatment device for treatment of vaginal related medical conditions, the treatment including adsorption, entrapment, and extraction of disease-causing pathogens from a living being, the method comprising:

providing the vaginal treatment device comprising a menstrual tampon or cup comprising:
(a) an unbound, freely associating, adsorbent porous carbonaceous material;
(b) a woven and/or nonwoven absorbent textile material;
inserting the vaginal treatment device into the vagina;
preventing external matter from entering the vaginal canal post insertion of the vaginal treatment device by sealing the distal opening of the vagina with a bandage;
treating the vaginal related medical conditions using the inserted vaginal treatment device for an administration duration sufficient for the unbound, freely associating, adsorbent porous carbonaceous material to adsorb, entrap, and extract the disease causing pathogens from the living body;
and
removing the inserted vaginal treatment device from the vagina, wherein the unbound, freely associating, adsorbent porous carbonaceous material includes adsorbed, entrapped, and extracted the disease causing pathogens from the living body when the inserted vaginal treatment device has been removed.
