Abstract

L'invention concerne un applicateur de tampon servant à expulser un tampon et doté d'un tube support recevant le tampon et éventuellement d'un piston. Le tube support recevant le tampon a une partie interne creuse, une surface interne, une surface externe, un axe longitudinal, un périmètre externe, une première extrémité dimensionnée pour l'insertion dans la cavité vaginale, une deuxième extrémité opposée à la première, un modulateur de force et au moins un élément d'expulsion latérale. L'élément d'expulsion latérale comprend une zone plus faible située à sa base. Le tampon est logé à l'intérieur de la partie interne creuse du tube support en une position pré-expulsée. Un piston peut également être monté coulissant dans la partie interne creuse du tube support de tampon et servir à expulser le tampon à travers le modulateur de force.
