A tampon and delivery system for a pharmaceutical, holistic or medicinal component, includes: (1) a nonabsorbent vaginal implant having a generally cylindrical shape including a leading end and a cylindrical outer surface; (2) an outer delivery sheath applied to at least a portion of the cylindrical outer surface of the tampon, distal from the leading end (and preferably leaving the leading end exposed), where the outer delivery sheath comprises a formulation including (a) a water soluble polymer film carrier and (b) a pharmaceutical, holistic or medicinal component; and (3) an applicator containing the tampon and applied delivery sheath. Methods for preparation of the delivery system and methods of use are also disclosed.

A medicinal applicator that is defined by a base, a medicinal cream receiving port in the base, and a shaft extending along a shaft axis from the base and terminating at an applicator tip is useful in smearing medicinal cream in a person's colon. There is at least one exit aperture located along a portion of the shaft through which the cream can exit. The medicinal applicator has an unobstructed pathway is in communication with the receiving port and the exit aperture in addition to a stop plate that extends radially from the base delineating the base from the shaft. The shaft's outer shape is defined by an oblong cross section that is uniform along the entire length of the shaft.

A pessary system for providing pelvic floor support for USL and other ligaments. The pessary has an elongated probe with independently inflatable balloons each located substantially the same distance from the insertion end of the probe and which inflate into separate radial sectors. The probe can be inserted into a vaginal cavity and the balloons inflated provide mechanical support to the USLs. Independent inflation of each balloon allows the mechanical USL support provided to be varied on left and right sides to compensate for differences in the degree of degradation and positioning of the USL ligaments on either side.

Methods, systems, and devices are provided for generating a mist. In one embodiment, a fluid delivery device is provided that includes a housing, a fluid vaporizer disposed within the housing and configured to receive fluid and to produce an aerosol mist of liquid particles from the fluid, and a pump configured to accelerate the aerosol mist produced by the fluid vaporizer. Methods are provided for producing a mist, and the methods can include delivering a fluid to a fluid vaporizer that generates a first mist. The fluid vaporizer delivers the mist to a pump that generates a second mist from the first mist.

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 the head unit. The dispensing device is for holding a fluid and is connected to the extension shaft. The dispensing device is in communication with the plurality of dispensing passageways and urges fluid through extension shaft and through the dispensing passageways.

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 includes (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 medical device for reducing incontinence can be dimensioned to be placed in an interior region of a subject surrounded by muscle tissue. The medical device can include a first balloon having an interior space containing a fluid. The proximal end of a first fluid conduit can be coupled to an outlet of the first balloon. The medical device can also include a pressure sensing detector coupled to a distal end of the first fluid conduit. The pressure sensing detector can include a second balloon. The second balloon can also be in fluid communication with the interior space of the first balloon. The first balloon can be compressed from the contraction of the muscle tissue, which can displace a portion of the fluid within the interior space of the first balloon. The portion of fluid moves towards the second balloon and causes the second balloon to increase in interior volume thereby indicating a contraction force of the muscle tissue.

A moisturizing composition, the composition comprising a sufficient amount of extra-virgin coconut oil, a sufficient amount of aloe barbadensis, and a sufficient amount of vitamin E oil. The composition is provided as a cream, which may be applied to a body cavity, such as within and/or around the vagina.

A nozzle for use in delivering a mixture of aerosol propellant and drug formulation. The nozzle includes a drug product inlet configured to receive a mixture of aerosolized propellant and an intranasal dosage form. The inlet is disposed at the proximal end. A nozzle body is secured to the drug product inlet. Two or more channels are disposed within the body. Two or more orifice apertures are disposed at the distal end of the nozzle.

The present disclosure generally relates to an applicator for administering a composition for treating one or more of vaginal dryness, vaginal irritation, vaginal itch, vaginal infection, vaginal odor, vaginal chafing, dyspareunia, and/or vaginal atrophy, and more specifically, to an applicator comprising a reservoir and a vaginal care composition stored within the reservoir, as well as methods of using such an applicator.
