VAGINAL LAXITY AND UTERINE PROLAPSE DEVICE

摘要

A vaginal laxity/uterine prolapse system is disclosed. The system includes vaginal laxity/uterine prolapse device and a suction device. The vaginal laxity/uterine prolapse device includes a shaft sized and configured for insertion into a patient's vagina. The shaft includes a plurality of suction ports. The shaft is coupled to a suction device to generate suction through the plurality of suction ports. The suction causes edema and increased blood flow to the vagina walls, resulting in an immediate increase in vaginal tone (“tightness”) and over time, with repeated use, causes hypertrophy of the vaginal wall and associated pelvic musculature, resulting in a permanent increase in vaginal tightness, significantly increasing the friction resistance to penile penetration. Use of the vaginal laxity/uterine prolapse system results in immediate and long-term increase in the frictional resistance and improved pelvic and vaginal muscle strength to prevent retrograde migration of the uterus into the vagina (uterine prolapse).

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a device comprising:
a shaft sized and configured for insertion into a vagina, the shaft extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end, wherein the shaft defines an internal channel, and wherein at least one suction hole is formed through the shaft to provide fluid communication between an outer surface of the shaft and the internal channel;a handle coupled to the proximal end of the shaft; anda sealing cup located between the handle and the shaft, the sealing cup sized and configured to fit over and seal a vaginal opening; and a suction device coupled to the internal channel defined by the shaft and configured to generate suction through the plurality of holes.
