Abstract
An intravaginal device that has a hollow open-ended cylindrical body and a removal strip, wherein the body has features that keep the removal strip in a track. During removal when the removal strip is pulled, the cross-sectional area of the device is decreased. A kit includes the device, removal strip and an assistive wand to aid with insertion and removal.
Claims21
An intravaginal device comprising a hollow open-ended cylindrical body and a removal strip;
- the body having a first end and a second end, an anterior wall and a posterior wall;
- the body having a first notch in the first end of the anterior wall, and a second notch in the second end of the anterior wall wherein the first notch and the second notch positioned in line and substantially at the midline of the anterior wall and forming a track for the removal strip;
- the posterior wall comprising a lingulate-shaped extension, and an opening positioned substantially across from the first notch wherein the opening is adapted to receive therethrough the removal strip;
- wherein the removal strip passes through the first notch, second notch and opening and when force is applied to the removal strip the anterior wall and the posterior wall are compressed together.

An intravaginal device comprising a hollow open-ended cylindrical body and a removal strip;
- the body formed from a non-absorbent, flexible material;
- the body having a first end and a second end, an anterior wall and a posterior wall;
- the posterior wall comprising a lingulate-shaped extension;
- the body having a first notch in the first end in the anterior wall and second notch in the second end in the anterior wall;
- the first notch and the second notch positioned in line and substantially at the midline of the anterior wall and forming a track for the removal strip;
- the posterior wall further comprising an opening adapted to receive therethrough the removal strip and the opening positioned substantially across from the first notch;
- the removal strip formed from a non-absorbent, flexible material;
- wherein the removal strip passes through the first notch, second notch and opening and compresses the anterior wall and the posterior wall together thereby reducing the cross-sectional area of the body when force is applied to the removal strip.
