SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DELIVERING BIOMATERIALS
Delivery systems and methods for forming and delivering biomaterials from two components are described herein. In particular, apparatus and methods for performing controlled delivery of multicomponent delivery of biomaterials into or onto a body part, such as a body lumen are described. More specifically, in some embodiments, the apparatus and methods are directed towards controlled delivery of micro-volumes of biomaterials into or onto a target location, the micro-volumes being defined as 0.001 mL-1 mL (or 1 L-1,000 L) of volume.
COMPOSITION COMPRISING AN ESSENTIAL OIL AND ITS PACKAGING THEREOF
There is a composition comprising an essential oil, namely a cannabis essential oil that is compatible with a prophylactic such as a condom. The cannabis essential oil comprises an active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol, which heightens the sensation and causes a euphoric feeling during intimate relations. There is a kit allowing for easy access to both the essential oil and condom that comprises two chambers, one chamber for storing the essential oil and the second chamber for storing the condom. The two chambers are easily separable by tearing along the perforated portion. There is a packet comprising two separable chambers for storing the composition comprising the essential oil and a prophylactic.
TAMPER EVIDENT PACKAGING
A condom package has a first barrier having a first surface and an oppositely facing second surface. A second barrier of the package has a first and oppositely facing second surface. A first substance is between the first barrier first surface and second barrier second surface. A second substance and a condom are partitioned from the first substance and first barrier by the second barrier. The second substance and condom are in a bounded area delimited by the second barrier first surface.
AN ARRANGEMENT FOR AN INTRAUTERINE SYSTEM AND ITS INSERTER
The present invention relates to an arrangement comprising an intrauterine system, an inserter for the intrauterine system and a package for the inserter, wherein the inserter comprises a handle having a first end and a second end, an insertion tube having a first end and a second end, first handling means for withdrawing the intrauterine system inside the insertion tube and second handling means for expulsing the intrauterine system from the insertion tube; and the package comprises a container, a cover arranged to close the container and means for actioning the first handling means of the inserter.
PESSARY FOR TRANSVAGINAL HAEMOSTASIS
Disclosed is a pessary for transvaginal haemostasis, wherein the radial dimension of a balloon body can be changed to form a relatively large pressure on a vaginal wall, therefore achieving the effect of high-pressure haemostasis. The pessary for transvaginal haemostasis comprises: the balloon body, being made of an expandable material, the balloon body having a cavity, the cavity having a filling hole so that a fluid can be filled into or drawn out of the cavity through the filling hole, the balloon body having a first end and a second end, the balloon body having at least one hollow passage, the passage running through the first end and the second end of the balloon body and not being in communication with the cavity, an outer surface of the balloon body having at least one channel, and the channel also running through the first end and the second end of the balloon body; and a support body having a coupling end and a support end, the coupling end being coupled to the second end of the balloon body, the support body having a through hole in communication with the passage, and the peripheral surface of the support body having at least one recessed portion corresponding to the channel.
Apparatus that enables non-penetrating sex
Apparatus that enables non-penetrating sex between two users. Embodiments may be integrated into or attached to clothing worn by the first user. A tubular element (including, but not limited to, a male or female condom) may be installed either permanently or detachably; attachments at both the open and closed ends of the tubular element ensure that it will not penetrate the first user. Users may therefore enjoy many of the benefits of sex, including intimacy and mutual stimulation, without the risks inherent in penetration. Attachment for the open end may use for example an element that attaches to a base ring or flange at the open end. Illustrative attachments for the closed end include a loop into which the closed end is cinched, a notch or hole into which a button in the closed end is inserted, and a mechanism into which the closed end is inserted, folded, and secured.
Apparatus for temporary male contraception
The present invention relates to a male contraception apparatus for obtaining temporary sterility of a male mammalian individual. The apparatus has an implantable restriction device adapted to restrict vas deference in the region downstream the ampulla during a controlled period in order to preventing sperms to reach the urethra. Further, the apparatus has a control device for controlling the operation of the restriction device.
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.

PACKAGED LUBRICATED CONDOM
The present invention provides a packaged condom comprising a sealed package and, within the package, a condom comprising natural rubber latex and/or synthetic polyisoprene, wherein the condom comprises, on one or more surfaces thereof and in contact with the natural rubber latex and/or synthetic polyisoprene, an aqueous lubricant. The aqueous lubricant comprises a thickener and, in a total amount of from 5 to 25% by weight of the lubricant, one or more organic compounds independently selected from the group consisting of a polyhydric alcohol and a sugar, each of said one or more organic compounds having at least 4 hydroxyl groups and a molecular weight of from 120 to 10000. The invention further provides a method for preparing a packaged condom, a packaged condom obtainable by or obtained by this method, and the use of the aqueous lubricant to lubricate one or more surfaces of a condom comprising natural rubber latex and/or synthetic polyisoprene while maintaining the transparency of the condom during storage within a sealed package.
