Abstract
A menstrual disc applicator that is configured to hold a menstrual device in a folded configuration to allow for insertion of the disc into the fornix. Many applicators are configured to not only insert the disc but to provide rotation such that it sits properly in the vaginal fornix. Some applicators may have spring like mechanisms to help move the disc into the proper position while others may have contoured elements that better conform to the anatomy to allow for proper insertion and placement of the disc.
Claims11
A menstrual disc applicator system, comprising:
- a folded menstrual disc having a proximal portion and a distal portion;
- a housing including an applicator body, the housing having a lumen extending from a proximal end of the applicator body to an open distal end of the applicator body;
- wherein the open distal end is beveled from an extending bottom portion to a recessed upper portion and the proximal portion of the folded menstrual disc is received by the lumen at the proximal end of the applicator body;
- and
- wherein the applicator body has a length that is less than the length of the folded menstrual disc such that the distal portion of the folded menstrual disc extends distally from the open distal end of the applicator body to form an arc that is convex with respect to the extending bottom portion.
