A pad body integrally molded from a thermoplastic resin foam material with high compressibility includes a foam absorbent body, an outer film layer formed on an outer portion of the foam absorbent body, and a pull string connected to the outer film layer. A tampon is also disclosed, and includes a tubular sleeve unit and the pad body. The tubular sleeve unit includes an outer tube and a push rod. The foam absorbent body and the outer film layer constitute an absorption section of the pad body. The absorption section is constrained by the outer tube in a compressed state, and is transformed to an expanded state when pushed by the push rod to move out of the receiving hole via the exit opening.

A delivery system, including an inner member, an outer tube surrounding the inner member and movable axially relative to the inner member, wherein a space is defined between an outer surface of the inner member and an inner surface of the outer tube, an expandable element disposed in the space at a distal portion of the system, and a patch disposed in the space at the distal portion of the system, wherein the patch is radially outward of the expandable element.

In some embodiments, a system includes a nasal packing, a delivery device releasably couplable to the nasal packing and configured to deliver the nasal packing into a nasal cavity of a subject, a reservoir configured to contain medication, and a fluid coupling configured such that the medication can flow from the reservoir to the nasal packing via the fluid coupling.

There is provided a tampon pledget that includes one or more enhanced features that result in the pledget exhibiting increased bypass leakage prevention. These enhanced features may include, but are not limited to, geometry, absorption, and any combinations thereof. There is also provided one or more methods for constructing a tampon pledget having increased bypass leakage protection.

A tampon including a body having a longitudinal axis, a front end, a rear end and an outer surface. The body including a liquid-absorbing material operable to absorb and/or retain bodily fluid. A bore extending through the body along the longitudinal axis from the front end to the rear end, said bore defining an inner surface. The tampon also including a liquid-impermeable layer, which includes a liquid-impermeable elastic material and a liquid-permeable layer. The liquid-absorbing material is a fluid. One of the liquid-impermeable layer or the liquid-permeable layer is on at least a portion of the outer surface of the body of the tampon. The other of the liquid-impermeable layer or the liquid-permeable layer is on at least a portion of the inner surface of the body. In use, the liquid-impermeable layer and the liquid-permeable layers are operable to move between a first configuration and a second configuration.

The present invention relates to a biocompatible, foldable, thin profile, low mass and high surface area, chitosan dressing, optionally modified with catechol, and suitable for treating bleeding in a physiological environment, e.g. bladder, and in particular in connection with the TURP procedure. The characteristics and structures of the chitosan dressing are provided. Methods of making and using the chitosan dressing are also provided.

The invention relates to a vaginal insertion assembly and methods of manufacturing it, which comprises a flexible retention web made by an atraumatic material intended to be introduced into the vaginal cavity with the aid of an applicator, said web comprising removal means and a shorter web flap F1 obtained by strangling the web in a site P, and being arranged into the applicator such that the web becomes more rigid and makes it less penetrable.
