An intravaginal device has an insertion end, a withdrawal end, a longitudinal axis, and a device interior, and it includes a first structural material formed into a device frame and a second cushioning material having a thickness surrounding portions of the device frame. The first structural material includes a working portion disposed proximate the withdrawal end and an anchoring portion extending therefrom disposed proximate the insertion end. The device frame includes interconnected elongate elements having a maximum cross-section of less than about 5 mm and a longitudinal axis. The device frame has a plurality of primary bearing surfaces arranged and configured to bear on vaginal tissue during insertion and use, and the thickness of the cushioning material on the device frame is greater on the primary bearing surfaces than on surfaces of the device frame disposed toward the device interior. The device further includes a withdrawal element operatively connected to the working portion. Preferably, the first structural material is a high modulus polymer and the second material is a thermoplastic elastomer. The intravaginal device may be included in a device delivery system including a delivery applicator.

An intravaginal urinary incontinence device has an insertion end and an opposed withdrawal end. The device has a resilient frame including a working portion disposed proximate the withdrawal end and an anchoring portion disposed proximate the insertion end. The working portion has a resilient structure having a plurality of connected elongate elements for providing support to an associated urinary system. The anchoring portion has a plurality of connected elongate elements arranged to expand laterally within a user's vagina. The elongate elements are formed of a high modulus polymer having an elastic modulus of at least 2 or 3 GPa. Additionally, the polymer may have an Initial Stress @ 3% Strain of at least about 30 MPa, an elongation at yield of at least 3%, a Stress Ratio of at least about 0.5, and/or an Aged Stress (t=50 hrs @ 40° C.) @ 3% Strain is greater than about 35 MPa.
摘要:
A method for treating urinary incontinence includes the steps of inserting into the woman's vagina a first disposable device, removing the first disposable device, and inserting a second disposable device substantially identical to the first disposable device. The disposable devices have a working portion with opposed working surfaces to provide support to an associated urinary system and an anchoring portion to maintain the disposable device in place during use. The anchoring portion has at least one member extending beyond at least one end of the working portion.
摘要:
An intravaginal device has a working portion (e.g., intravaginal urinary incontinence device suppository, tampon) and an anchoring portion comprising at least one member extending beyond at least one end of the working portion to maintain the working portion in place during use.
摘要:
An absorbent article including a cover layer, a barrier layer and an absorbent system arranged between the cover layer and the barrier layer, the absorbent article being drapeable and possessing the absorbency attributes required of a sanitary napkin.
