Abstract

Male or female condom device, with an active product. These condoms are intended to fulfil three main functions: mechanical, spermicidal, and preventative or curative action against sexually transmitted diseases. Support plus the active product. Support plus active lubricant.

Description

 The present invention relates to male or female condom devices, contraceptive condoms or not, antiviral, antibacterial or not, made of synthetic or natural rubber, polymer plastic. These devices are intended to fulfill three main functions: mechanical, spermicidal, and to fight preventively or curatively against sexually transmitted diseases, without however excluding beneficial side effects that would not have been discovered or proven during the invention. The present invention relates to devices (described above) of all shapes or sizes making it possible to administer or not an active principle and comprising a solid support or material in which said active principle is incorporated and / or deposited on the surface. male or female have been known since antiquity They have aroused a renewed interest since the statistical and global mention of sexually transmitted diseases. In particular, the 0.M.S. recopirnande in its last reports to favor the initiatives going in the direction of a prevention of this plague of the XXth century, related to travel, to 1 '. an increase in illegitimate and deviant couples.

The research undertaken by the FOURNIER Institute in PARIS, moreover, reports quaternary ammonium as a specific antiviral for AIDS.

 To date, such devices have never been manufactured by containing or allowing the active ingredients to diffuse. This invention is therefore a contribution to the preventive action of the O.M.S. in the fight against sexually transmitted diseases.

 The present invention consists in dispersing, mixing, homogenizing, emulsifying an active principle, whether it is a quaternary ammonium, one of its salts or even another active principle. This invention also applies to any other active ingredient used in the same manner and for the same purpose. This does not exclude the use of the active principle in the form of gel, ointment, emulsion or lubricating liquid intended to be applied to these devices (previously described) by the user at the time of use, for mechanical purposes, spermicide and preventive of sexually transmitted diseases, as it was exposed above, or deposited during the manufacture.

It is not excluded that other active ingredients may be used during manufacture
The manufacturing method includes. the steps necessary for mixing the active principle with the solid support and / or the lubricant intended to cover this support goes without saying that these various operations can be carried out before and / or after vulcanization or polymerization. The coating of the active lubricant can also be provided during manufacture. All these operations make it possible to obtain a finished asset.

 The preservation of the preservatives thus produced must allow them to keep their original characteristics for a period of time compatible with their use.

Claims (6)

1 - A male and / or female condom, condom, contraceptive or not,  antiviral, antibacterial or not, of all shapes and / or sizes allowing  whether or not to administer an active principle comprising a solid support or  material in which the said active ingredient is incorporated and / or deposited in  The so-called matrix serving as support or impregnated allows the  active ingredient by passive or active diffusion. 2 - The support of said claim -1- being a membrane, a sponge or a  more or less rigid rod, shaped or not, made of polymer, plastic,  rubber, latex or synthetic rubber. The whole thing, whether the device is  lubricated or not. 3 - The active principle, medicinal or not, dispersed in the support of the resale  dication -1- or deposited thereon is a quaternary ammonium or one of its  salts or another active ingredient. 4 - The manufacturing method includes the steps of incorporating  an active principle, in liquid, pasty or solid form, either in the support,  either in a lubricant and in the carrier jointly or separately and  this by any physical or chemical process known to date. 5 - The manufacturing method -4- consists of:  a) preparing a solution, emulsion or dispersion of the active principle in  different vehicles and this in desired, chosen and  controlled in order to achieve the desired goal. The mixture obtained is  incorporated into the support and / or deposited on it, before or after implementation  shape, shaping, vulcanization or polymerization if necessary.  and / or shapes, finished.  contraceptive or not, antiviral, antibacterial or not, of different. sizes  thus obtains a male and / or female device, condom or condom,  is shaped, shaped and then vulcanized or polymerized if necessary. We  surface of this before or after vulcanization and polymerization. The suppo  lubricant mixture thus obtained is incorporated into the support and / or deposited at the  different active ingredient and this in chosen, desired and controlled proportions. The  b) The lubricant is also added with the active principle or a principle 6 - This invention or this process can be used for preventive purposes or  of sexually transmitted diseases as part of an accessory  a medication accessory or a full-fledged medication.
