Insertion system for tampons and other intravaginal devices comprises applicator acting with intravaginal device

摘要

The applicator comprises an applicator tube for a tampon and a liquid dispenser. The tube is cylindrical and 5-8 cm long and the tampon is inserted into the tube and maintains its position in the tube through adhesive friction. The tampon incorporates an elastic core, which is encased completely by a water-tight casing. The applicator (10) comprises an applicator tube (20) for a tampon (30) and a liquid dispenser (40). The tube is cylindrical and 5-8 cm long and the tampon is inserted into the tube and maintains its position in the tube through adhesive friction. The tampon incorporates an elastic core (32), which is encased completely by a water-tight casing. The elastic materials of the core (elastic fibres, foams etc.) are pressed together to provide for storing of potential expansion energy. An Independent claim is included for the insertion process for the system.
