Abstract
A reproductive infusion device for collection of semen for in-home insemination. The device features a collection vessel having a collection cavity defined by a sidewall which communicates through an elongated member extending therefrom. The collection vessel removably engages coaxially with an injection component to transfer collected semen thereto. A plunger engageable with an axial cavity of the injection component is provided for vaginal deposit of collected semen.
Claims20
A reproductive infusion apparatus comprising:
- a collection vessel having a collection cavity defined by a sidewall communicating at a first edge with a bottom wall;
- said sidewall having a distal edge opposite said first edge, said distal edge defining an aperture communicating with said collection cavity;
- an elongated member extending a length from a center portion of said bottom wall to a distal end of said member, said member having an axial cavity communicating between said distal end and said collection cavity;
- an injection component having an axial passageway defined by an interior surface of an elongated component wall, said component wall extending a distance from an intake aperture at a first end to a front wall opposite said intake aperture;
- said front wall having an exit aperture communicating between said axial passageway and the exterior of said injection component;
- means for engagement of said collection vessel with said injection component in an engaged position having said elongated member coaxial within said axial passageway;
- a plunger, said plunger engageable with said axial passageway for translational movement between said intake aperture and said front wall;
- and
- a pathway for semen collected in said collection vessel, said pathway communicating said semen from said collection vessel through said axial cavity to a position adjacent to said front wall of said axial passageway when said collection vessel is in said engaged position with said injection component, whereby said semen collected in said collection vessel and communicated to said axial passageway can be ejected from said exit aperture through a translation of said plunger.
