METHOD OF OBTAINING MALE CONTRACEPTION
There is provided a method for controlling a flow of fluid in the vas deferens in order to obtain a controlled male contraception. The method comprises gently constricting (i.e., without substantially hampering the blood circulation in the tissue wall) at least one portion of the tissue wall to influence the flow vas deferens, and stimulating the constricted wall portion to cause contraction of the wall portion to further influence the flow in the vas deferens. The method can be used for restricting or stopping the flow in the vas deferens, or for actively moving the fluid in the vas deferens, with a low risk of injuring the organ.
HYDRATION PREVENTION COATING
Occlusion devices and delivery systems are described in which a polymerizing oil is used to protect a hydrogel from premature swelling. In an embodiment, a delivery system includes an occlusion device releasably coupled within a catheter sheath. The occlusion device includes an expandable implant and a hydrogel. An at least partially oxidized polymerizing oil is inside a lumen of the catheter sheath between the distal end of the catheter sheath and the hydrogel.
Oral Prophylactic Device
A mask is provided to cover the face of a person. The mask can be attached to a person's face through an adhesive strip, which is connected along an interior surface of the mask. An oral region on the mask is defined by a lip, opening, and an elastic tongue sleeve. A power source is placed in the mask to support electrical components. Possible electrical components include an electrical contact for generating sensual shocks, a vibrator for increasing pleasure of sexual acts such as cunnilingus, and an illumination source for adjusting ambient lighting. Such components may be controlled through an interface placed on the mask, or remotely via a wireless component that communications with a control module placed within the mask.

INTIMATE CLEANSER
The utility model aims at an intimate cleanser, particularly an intimate douche (500) comprising a bag (100), and a fixed and/or threadable applicator nozzle (200), in which the folding bag (100) presents a new practical and anatomic design, resulting in a portable and disposable intimate douche (500). Additionally, the utility model provides irrigation of the pelvic cavity through the flow of content, preferably improved water expelled from the intimate douche (500) into the female and/or male pelvic cavity in order to assist in hygiene, cleansing, treating, odorizing, gut flora replacement, lubrication and/or anesthesia of such cavities.
PACKING FOR A CONDOM
The invention relates to barrier contraceptives, more particularly, to a packing for a condom, which ensures that the condom is securely held until it is completely unfolded. The packing for a condom comprises a covering with a holder inside, and the holder is equipped with fasteners designed to hold the condom in a folded state and located on the inner and/or outer side of the folded condom, wherein in each fastener and/or between at least one pair consisting of an inner and an outer fastener a gap of variable size is formed, which, in one position, allows the folded condom to be placed in the fasteners through it, and in the other position it does not allow the completely folded condom to separate from the fasteners.
Packaging systems for implantable devices and related methods
A tray for securing an implantable device to a carrier member includes a slot configured to retain the carrier member and a receptacle adjacent the slot. The carrier member surrounds a shaft of the implantable device. The receptacle has a first width at a proximal end of the receptacle to receive first and second arms of the implantable device in an initial state in which the first and second arms extend substantially perpendicularly from the shaft. The receptacle has a second width at a distal end of the receptacle for receiving the first and second arms of the implantable device in a collapsed state in which the first and second arms are folded against the shaft such that the carrier member can be slid over the first and second arms to retain the first and second arms. The second width is less than the first width.
Internal condom method and device
An intraurethral contraceptive device includes an insertion tool and a urethral sleeve inside the insertion tool. The urethral sleeve includes a balloon on an outer surface and a distal proximal end of the urethral sleeve, having an air lumen that extends to a distal end of the urethral sleeve. There is an inside reservoir at a distal end of the sleeve, configured to capture any fluid traveling from the proximal end to the distal end of the urethral sleeve. An insertion plunger is coupled to a plunger head. The insertion plunger is configured to be placed inside a distal end of the insertion tool.
