Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES. LEEVOE STEVENS POINT, wisconsin.
nynaoygiyieN-r iN UTERINE s UPPoai-Eas,
Speciication forming partv ci' Letters Patent No. 45.506, dated December-20, V1864.
' erence'marked thereon, which iigureswill be hereinafter more especially described.
Figure lis a transverse vertical section, and Fig., 2 atop plan view, of an ordinary diskpessary, in connection with which my invention isintended to be used. Fig. 3 is a side elevation, and Fig. 4 a longitudinal sectional view,'of my invention. Figs. 5 and 6 represent longitudinal sections of the same, withl other devicesv to be used therewith;` and Figs. i 7- and 8 illustrate the application of my improved device.
The nature of my invention consists 1n a I peculiarlyconstructed sound or stein to be usedV inconnection withl a disk-pessary for the purpose of' sustaining the womb and preventjit from falling, and also 'retaining it in its 'proper position, whereby the prevention and cure of the'various diiheulties to which females Vare subject in this respect may be readily ei'ected.
To enable others skilled inthe art to make and use my invention, I will :pr0cecd`to describe it.
In theseveral figures, A` represents a sound o r stem made of rubberor some similar substance. This stem is made hollow, having its upper end closed, while its lower end is open,
, and is providedjwith a radial ange or disk,
as clearly shown inthe drawings. In Fig. 5
vvthis stem is shown with an elongated piece of rubber or lother substance'made round and having conical ends, and which in its diameter is larger than the cavity in the stem in- -serted therein. This plug 'B may be shoved in the mouth of the womb by the muscular contraction ot its mouth around the stem below the enlargement.
In Fi g. 6 a rigid stem of ivory, metal, hard rubber, or other suitable substance, is shown inserted in the cavity .in A, the object of which will be hereinafter explained.
The operation of mylinvention is as follows A pessary, D, is provided, and the sound A ,inserted through its central orifice. either be- 'fore or after the insertion of D into the vaginal canal E, as circumstances mayrequire. The stem A is caused to enter the mouth of the womb,'and as A is held securely in place by D the womb is brought to its natural position and retained there. If the stem Ais not readily retainedin its place within the womb, then theplug B may be inserted to prod uce the enlargement, as already described,
the piug B being of rubber or other compressible material, so that'it can be forced into the open tube in A, when-the latteris inserted in the hole in D or it vmay be inserted in A before the latter is inserted into D. In case of a iiexion of the womb, 'and the stem A is not sufficient to overcome it and retain -the womb in its' correctposition, the rigid stem C is inserted in the cavity within A, as shown in Fig. 8. It is obviousthat the stem C may be used .in cases where there is no flexion, as in Fig. 7; but it is not'eonsidered desirable so to do, forthe reasonthat no hard or unyielding substances "should be brought into contact with-these delicate organs when it can possibly be avoided In the construction and use of the stem A, care should be had' that it be made'somewhat less in length than thestrait or cavity of the womb, so as toprevent the upper in-V terior surface thereof .from being brought in contact with the point of' A, especially when G is used in connection therewith. It should also be made somewhat soft and iiexible, so that, as far as possible, there may be no irritation caused by its use,.which has hitherto Abeen the greatest obstacle to the useof intrauterine supporters.
The advantages of invention will be obvious to physicians and-others familiar with 'the use of such implements, auth-"need not therefore be enumerated here.
Patent, is-as follows:
