Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved gynecological device permitting these disadvantages to be obviated.
  • a gynecological device comprising aiesilient filament'having the spiral being of the order of magnitude of those of a uterine cavity put in such manner that, when introduced through the cervix and placed in position in the said cavity, the spiral bears resiliently against the mucous membrane and exerts there only a moderate stress per unit of contact surface.
  • the largest turns may, optionally but with advantage, terminate in a bulged or grain-shaped portion serving as an arresting means for the instrument, for example a slotted trocar, employed for the introduction of the device, at this end, into the uterus cervix.
  • the spiral may terminate, at the opposite side, in a retaining cone having a flexible and extremely thin wall-and suitable for fulfilling the role of a catch in the cervix and preventing the accidental ejection of the device.
  • FIGURE is a perspective view of a preferred form of gynecological device.
  • the apparatus comprises a resilient spiral l the section of which is as may be desired but which has no roughened portions capable of injuring the tissues, the successive turns decreasing in size downwardly, in such manner that they are inscribed in a space having approximately the shape of a cone 2 having a small angle at the apex.
  • the largest terminal turn 1a has, at its end a bulged or grainshaped portion 3 which has no roughened portions and the size of which is sufficiently small to enable it to be introduced into the uterus cervix without it being necessary to distend the latter.
  • the said portion 3 may be integral with the spiral or may be fitted at the end thereof.
  • the smallest terminal turn lb has, at its end a thin flexible walled cone 4 which is designed to remain in the cervix, after the placing in position of the device, so as to constitute, there, a retaining means preventing the falling out of the device by being buttressed" at its edge against the mucous membrane of the cervix.
  • a gynecological device comprising a resilient filament having the shape of a spiral, the turns of which decrease in size from one end to the other so as to fit into a space having the shape of a cone having a small angle at the apex, and wherein the largest turn terminates in a bulged portion serving as a stop means for an instrument which is utilized for the introduction of the device into the uterus cervix, the dimensions of the spiral being of the order of magnitude of those of a uterine cavity.
  • a gynecological device wherein the spiral terminates, on the side of the smallest turn, in a retaining cone having an extremely thin and flexible wall and suitable for fulfilling the role of a catch in the cervix, thus preventing the accidental ejection of the device.
