The vaginal cleaning device is a lavage device that is adapted for use in personal hygiene. The lavage device is designed to reduce the risk of irritation caused by the inappropriate handling of the lavage device. This is done by eliminating the need to physically handle the dressing associated with the lavage device. The dressing is a sterile absorbent dressing that is contained within a sterile container. The dressing is removed from the sterile container using a plug and port arrangement that inserts an assumedly non-sterile plug into a port that is formed in the center of the dressing. This arrangement separates by distance the non-sterile plug from the sterile surface of the dressing. The lavage device comprises a handle, a dressing, and a sterile container.

An apparatus for holding and administering an enema and vaginal cleaning includes a container with an opening and a port. A fitting is provided having a threaded portion, and a neck portion. A nut is configured to engage the threaded portion, with a first seal seated between the flange portion and the container, and a second seal seated between the nut and the container. A hose has a first end and a second end, with the first end coupled to the fitting adjacent the neck portion, and a tip has an insertion end for inserting into the hose. The tip is configured for emitting the fluid from the hose, as the liquid moves from the container, through the hose, and out of the tip under gravity.

The present invention provides a device for delivering a predetermined volume of a substance, within at least one body cavity of a subject, comprising: a. a predefined volume for containing said predetermined volume of said at least one substance; b. a delivery end for placement in proximity to said body cavity; said delivery end comprises at least one orifice of diameter D [mm]; c. a valve mechanically connectable to said container, characterized by at least two configurations: (i) an active configuration in which said valve enables delivery of predetermined volume V.sub.sub [ml] of said substance; and, (ii) an inactive configuration, in which said valve prevents delivery of said predetermined volume V.sub.sub [ml] of said substance from said container to said body cavity; d. a fluid tight chamber configured to contain predetermined volume V.sub.gas [ml] of pressurized gas at a predetermined pressure, P.sub.gas [barg].

A diffusing applicator is provided and generally includes a head unit, and extension shaft, and a dispensing device. The head unit includes a fluid receiving space and a plurality of dispensing passageways in communication the fluid receiving space. The extension shaft is securely connected to head unit. The dispensing device holds a fluid and is connected to the extension shaft. The dispensing device is in communication with the plurality of dispensing passageways.

A vaginal dilation device is provided that may include any of a number of features. One feature of the vaginal dilation device is that it is configured to dilate vaginal tissue during labor to prevent tissue damage. Another feature of the vaginal dilation device is that it can be manually controlled to dilate vaginal tissue, or can be automatically controlled to dilate vaginal tissue. In some embodiments, the vaginal dilation device is configured to measure a force applied by the device to tissue. Methods associated with use of the vaginal dilation device are also provided.

The present invention relates to a morpho-anatomic flexible web (1) intended to be introduced into a vaginal or rectal cavity (40,50) of a human or animal, being provided with means of removal (4) from said vaginal or rectal cavity (40,50), said web (1) having a proximal end which corresponds to the part of the web (1) that first contacts said cavity (40,50) and a distal end which corresponds to the part of the web (1) that last enters said cavity (40,50) and said web (1) comprising two sheets (16,17) that at least partly overlap, defining an overlapping area, wherein said first and second sheets (16,17) are fixed to one another by means of at least two stopping elements (11,12,13), defining at least one pouch (10) in the interior of the overlapping area for holding a substance (60), and wherein said web (1) further comprises at least one blocking element (20) for retaining an applicator (30) in a substantially fixed position relative to the web (1), said blocking element (20) having at least one blocking side (22) which is perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the web (1) into the vaginal or rectal cavity (40,50), preferably said blocking side (22) being situated below the mouth of the pouch (10) such that part of the web may fold over said mouth of the pouch to completely close it. The present invention also relates to the use of the web (1) for retention of bodily fluids from said cavities or for delivery of a substance such as a microbicide gel (for example anti-HIV microbicide), or a probiotic or both.

A device for delivering a predetermined amount of a substance within at least one body cavity of a subject, where the predetermined amount is at an effective amount for treatment of obesity or binge eating disorder. The device comprises: (a) A volume to contain the predetermined amount of the substance. (b) A delivery end placeable in proximity to the body cavity. The delivery end is in fluid communication with the volume and comprises at least one orifice. (c) A valve mechanically connected to the volume, with at least two configurations: (i) an active configuration configured to deliver the predetermined amount of the substance; and, (ii) an inactive configuration, in which the valve prevents delivery of the predetermined amount of the substance. (d) A fluid tight chamber configured to contain a predetermined volume of pressurized gas at a predetermined pressure.

A system and method for drug delivery includes a pressure wave generator, and a substrate which receives a pressure wave generated by the pressure wave generator. A substance is in contact with the substrate and is propelled by the substrate into a tissue.

The present invention is related to a vaginal drug delivery device and to a vaginal diagnostic device that comprises a first and second rigid member, wherein the first and/or second rigid member comprises a reservoir holding a medicament to be delivered, an opening, and a pump for pumping said medicament out of said opening, and/or wherein the first rigid member and/or second rigid member comprises a diagnostic device for performing an intravaginal diagnosis or measurement therefor. The device further comprises a first flexible member and flexible part, wherein at least one of the first flexible member and the flexible part is at least partially elastic having an elasticity such that the device can be squeezed from an extended shape to a collapsed shape. The device is pre-biased to assume the extended shape when little to no external force is being applied thereto. Furthermore, the device assumes a shape substantially corresponding to the extended shape when the device is inserted with the squeezed rigid member first, so that these naturally unfold in the formix posterior vaginae.
