Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence (UI) are common, often distressing conditions, where, at present, physical non-surgical devices are fitted by best guess or trial-and-error with devices offered in a range of standard designs and sizes. However, each user is unique and accordingly methods, systems and devices providing a personal pelvic health characterization and provisioning approach are outlined that factor user specific anatomy and physiology, user lifestyle, user experiences and automated assessments into provisioning custom vaginal therapeutic devices. Further, user specific anatomy and physiology should be obtained in a reproducible manner with devices and systems that remove measurement artifacts, errors, bias etc. whilst providing the patient with an improved experience and the medical personnel with ergonomic, efficient, and easy to use systems exploiting combinations of dedicated multi-patient measurement equipment with user specific consumable items for cleanliness etc.

A device for retarding birth including an upper ring for surrounding a cervix, an anchoring component for anchoring the device, and an elastic component for attaching the upper ring to the anchoring component, wherein the elastic component pushes the upper ring and the anchoring component apart. A device for retarding birth including a sleeve for surrounding a cervix along a greater portion of a length of the cervix, a support strip on the sleeve directed along an axis of the sleeve, and a ring at least partially around the sleeve, in which when a top of the sleeve is pushed to expand radially, the support strip pivots on the ring, such that an end of the support strip near the top of the sleeve moves radially outward, and an end of the support strip near the bottom of the sleeve moves radially inward. Related apparatus and methods are also described.

Urinary incontinence devices generally include a body configured to be inserted into a vagina. The body may have a proximal insertion portion, a plurality of legs coupled to and extending distally from the insertion portion, and a distal retrieval portion. The plurality of legs may each have a length, a width, and a distal end, and the distal ends of the plurality of legs may be coupled together. The body may have a compressed configuration, an expanded configuration, and a lateral cross-sectional diameter, and the lateral cross-sectional diameter of the body may be largest at the widest point of each of the plurality of legs. Methods of treating urinary incontinence may include loading a urinary incontinence device into an applicator, inserting the applicator into the vagina, advancing the incontinence device out of the applicator to position a distal end of the device past the pelvic floor, and removing the incontinence device from the vagina using the distal retrieval portion.

A vaginal barrier device system and method for preventing entry of potentially contaminated fluid during immersion activities such as swimming or bathing, providing a secure fit, easy insertion and extraction, convenient cleaning, carrying, and storage, and avoiding irritation of the cervix or vaginal wall.

Disclosed herein are segmented, EVA intravaginal rings that release 17?-estradiol and progesterone with specific pharmacokinetics useful for treating, ameliorating, and preventing symptoms associated with menopause and vulvar and vaginal atrophy.

A system and method for stabilizing an incontinent cervix during pregnancy are described. A system may include a nesting portion designed to surround the cervix without applying pressure to the cervix, while supporting the uterus in opposition to the weight of the developing fetus to prevent untimely effacement and dilatation of the cervix, thereby reducing the risk of premature birth and its consequence.

The invention relates to a device for insertion into a vaginal passage or for accommodation of a penis during coitus, comprising a selectively permeable separating wall for the enrichment of X-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa or Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa, wherein the separating wall shows an increased permeability for X-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa or Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa.
