1. An intravaginal sensing device capable of being applied into the vaginal cavity of a mammal, retainable therein, and then to be withdrawable therefrom,
said device having a frame comprised of a plurality of walls that surround a hermetically sealed internal space, such that the frame includes a means of retaining itself in the vagina comprising one of
two or more arms capable of being moved towards each other against the resilience thereof so as, in its vaginal cavity retainable form, to provide an outward pressure reliant upon the vaginal cavity contained splayed condition of the arms thereof,a helical coil that upon compression exerts outward pressure radially, in its vaginal cavity retainable form, against the resilience of the vaginal cavity wall; wherein its vaginal cavity retainable form said frame exposes a plurality of electrodes to the environment of the vaginal cavity; where said electrodes are electrically coupled to the internal space of the frame with a low-impedance interconnection and wherein said device upon vaginal insertion into such a mammal for which it is sized and targeted, detects and reports sensor output data relating to the status of said mammal. |
