EDMUND I. BANNING, JR, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO BANNING TRUSS AND BRAOE COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN UTERINE SUPPORTERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 124,474, dated March 1'2, 1872.
Specification describinga new and Improved Uterine Support, invented by EDMUND P. BAN- NING, J r., ot'the city of New York, in the county and State of New York.
Figure 1 represents a side view of my improved uterine support. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The object of this invention is to construct a uterine support which will be light, cleanly, and under the complete control of the wearer, and which can be used in cases of anteversion, retroversion, to relieve the bladder from all pressure by the displacement of the womb, by a reversal of the concave tip. The invention consists, first, in making the stem and spring of one V-shaped wire, which, at its outer end, is adjustably connected with the supporting brace, while its inner end sustains a tip of suitable material for the support of the uterus or for its lateral displacement, this tip being concave, and by its reversal made adjustable for both ante and retroversion, in the manner shown. The invention also consists in the use of a peculiar concave-shaped tip, to be used in cases of anteversion.
A in the drawing represents a V-shaped wire. Its inner arm no holds at the end the tip B for the support of the uterus, said tip being of suitable form to suit the nature of each individual complaint. The outer arm b sion, or flection of the womb. It is narrow,
and concave at that side which is to be opposite the side of the uterus, to hold it off the bladder. Whenever the uterus falls to either side, backward or forward, the narrow rubber tip is applied against the vaginal mucous membrane on such falling side to sustain the uterus in its natural position and relieve the parts against which it would fall.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat ent- The combination of plate 0 and wire spring A, adjustable therein, with the concave tip B, adjustable for anteversion or retroversion of the womb by its reversal, as described.
