Abstract
A system for delivery of molecular hydrogen (H2) into a bodily orifice of a subject, such as the vagina or anus/rectum, to provide therapeutic effect.
Claims28
A system for delivery of molecular hydrogen into a bodily orifice of a subject, the system comprising:
- a cylindrical, elongate body having proximal and distal ends extending between a longitudinal axis thereof, and configured to be delivered into the bodily orifice, wherein the elongate body comprises:
- an inner cavity having enclosed therein at least one dry compound capable of generating molecular hydrogen upon exposure to a liquid activator;
- and
- a barrier encompassing the at least one dry compound and that is at least partially hydrogen-permeable and not permeable to the at least one dry compound;
- and
- a pull element extending from the proximal end of the elongate body and configured to be at least partially disposed outside of the bodily orifice when the elongate body is inserted into the bodily orifice.

A method of delivering molecular hydrogen to tissues in a bodily orifice of a subject, the method comprising:
- inserting into the bodily orifice an elongate body configured to generate molecular hydrogen, wherein the elongate body has enclosed in an inner cavity thereof at least one dry compound capable of generating molecular hydrogen upon exposure to a liquid activator, and wherein the elongate body has a pull element coupled to a proximal end thereof;
- allowing the at least one dry compound included in the elongate body generate the molecular hydrogen upon exposure to the liquid activator to thereby deliver the molecular hydrogen to tissues in the bodily orifice;
- and
- after a time period, pulling the pull element proximally to thereby withdraw the elongate body from the bodily orifice after the molecular hydrogen is delivered to the tissues in the bodily orifice.
