摘要:
A tampon having an absorbent body which is an agglomerate of pieces of absorbent foam, said agglomerate being held together by an overwrap which has water frangible closures that are maintained before use and in vivo but open up when the tampon is agitated in an excess of water such as a standard sewage disposal system.
摘要:
Absorbent devices, such as catamenial tampons and catamenial pads. The devices comprise an unbonded array of non-absorbent, hydrophillic, resilient, moisture insensitive fibers contained within a porous overwrap. When the devices are intended to be presented in the compressed state, the compressed density of the mass of fibers should be less than about 0.3 grams per cubic centimeter. The devices can contain ancillary absorbent material.
摘要:
Foams (as for example polyurethane foam) catamenial tampons which have been treated with surfactant. Catamenial tampons of this invention exhibit improved humid expansion characteristics. In a preferred embodiment, the catamenial tampons comprise particles of lubricated polyurethane foam which have been treated with surfactant and which are contained within a fluid permeable overwrap. The invention includes a process for making the above described catamenial tampons.
摘要:
A flow-controlling tampon, comprising, in combination a generally upright insertion tube having upper and lower ends, and a plunger within said tube and manipulable proximate the tube lower end; flow receiving structure positioned within the tube to be bodily displaced and to protrude from the upper end of the tube in response to the manipulation of the plunger, the flow receiving structure having an upper end portion configured to expand to extend about the cervix in response to upward bodily displacement of the flow receiving structure effected by the plunger; and removal structure associated with the upper end portion of the receiving structure to effect contraction thereof when the receiving structure is withdrawn away from the cervix. The flow receiving structure typically includes flow absorbent material contained within a thin moisture resistant sheath having an expansible upper end that is contracted by pulling on strand structure.
摘要:
A tampon for feminine hygiene that has an insertion end, a withdrawal end, a longitudinal axis, and an outer surface. The tampon is made of compressed fibrous material. The outer surface of the tampon includes a plurality of raised portions. Each of the raised portions includes a first width dimension x and a second width dimension y. The first width dimension x is greater than the second width dimension y.
摘要:
A menstrual, flow-controlling tampon comprising a generally upright insertion tube having upper and lower ends; flow-receiving structure positioned within the tube to be bodily displaced and expelled from the upper end of the tube; the flow-receiving structure having a deployable portion configured to distend from a downward collapsed position to an upwardly deployed condition, to extend into engagement with vaginal walls associated with the cervix, and accommodation to length of vaginal barrel, following its being expelled from the tube; and removal structure associated with the receiving structure to effect withdrawal thereof away from the cervix, whereby upper extent of the deployable portion of the flow-receiving structure gathers to retain flow in the flow-receiving structure during withdrawal.
摘要:
A medicated catamenial tampon, comprising a resilient foam corpus and a medicament-bearing hydrophobic non-woven overwrap which is permeable to catamenial fluids, adapted for nonmenstrual as well as menstrual delivery of medicant to control and treat vaginal area disorders.
摘要:
The present invention is concerned with catamenial tampons which comprise means for preventing by-pass but yet are readily removable. Generally the tampons are hollow cones of absorbable material with a withdrawal cord attached to the apex and an unfurlable cuff around the outside of the open base end of the cone.
