The systems, devices and methods provide customizable and adjustable support to anatomical tissue or organs, such as pelvic, vaginal, uterine, cervical, bladder, rectal, among others, or any combination thereof. The anatomical support device may include a support member having a periphery that surrounds an opening. The support member may be configured to releasably and adjustably expand between one or more expanding states from a resting state and contract to the resting state. The support member may include a first portion and a second portion disposed along the periphery. Each portion may include a passage cross-sectional area and a wall thickness. The first wall thickness and/or the first passage cross-sectional area of the first portion may be different from the second wall thickness and/or the second passage cross-sectional area of the second portion.

The present disclosure, in certain embodiments, relates to a flexible and non-absorbent vaginal insert device that is easier to insert and remove and is for use in improving and preventing symptoms associated with pelvic organ prolapse and urinary and/or fecal incontinence when the device is inserted. In certain embodiments, the device has an optionally cone-shaped upper portion that provides pelvic organ support and a removal portion or stem that facilitates insertion and removal of the device.

A contraceptive drug delivery system is provided in the form of a controlled release, bioerodible pellet for subdermal implantation. The pellet is bioerodible, and provides for the sustained release of a contraceptive agent over an extended time period. Bioerosion products are water soluble, bioresorbed, or both, obviating the need for surgical removal of the implant. Methods of using the drug delivery system, including in female contraception, are also provided.

A drug delivery system that includes an elongated inert support and at least two reservoirs containing a pharmaceutically active ingredient. The inert support has a number of wall segments that define at least two compartments arranged for accommodating the at least two reservoirs. The inert support is made of a material which prevents migration or diffusion of the active ingredient from one reservoir into the other or into the support. Since the drug delivery system is divided into compartments, one for each reservoir containing an active ingredient, the release rates of each active ingredient can be independently controlled or adjusted. This is due to the fact that there is no interaction between the active ingredients, and accordingly the active ingredients will not influence each other physically or chemically.
