MULTIPURPOSE VAGINAL AND CERVICAL DEVICE

摘要

A vaginal and cervical device comprising an elongated tubular member with an air tube connected to a pressure source at one end, a tubular extension structure at the distal end comprised of inner and outer sheets of flexible material which define an air chamber and which may be collapsed into the distal end of the tubular member or deployed therefrom into a fully extended position to provide an opening for observation of a cervix to aid in artificial insemination. Air from the pressure source maintains the tubular extension in the extended position. The outer sheet of the tubular extension may be stretchable to define an expander which is inflated by way of the pressure source or, alternatively, a separate expander may be mounted on the medial portion of the tubular member either of which press against the walls of the vagina to hold the device firmly in place.
