DISPOSABLE VAGINAL INSERTION DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a disposable vaginal insertion device. The disposable device includes a housing having a first end and a second end and a core that is positioned within the housing. The core includes a handle and a swab that is secured to the handle. The core is axially movable within the housing between a first position where the swab is at least partially within the housing and a stop on the handle is outside the housing, and a second position where the swab is extended through the second end of the housing until the stop on the handle engages the housing to prevent further insertion of the handle into the housing. In another embodiment, the disposable device includes a core that is capable of rotating within the housing such that the handle of the core periodically engages the housing to indicate a relative amount of core rotation.
