CONFORMING VALVED CERVICAL CAP AND MOLDING METHOD

A prefabricated cervical cap (10) includes a generally dome-like flexible shell (30) of a depth sufficient to receive therein a major portion but not all of cervix uteri (14) and a resilient, internal liner (36) for the shell. The liner (36) is integral with the shell (30) and is either deformable u...

Zusammenfassung:	A prefabricated cervical cap (10) includes a generally dome-like flexible shell (30) of a depth sufficient to receive therein a major portion but not all of cervix uteri (14) and a resilient, internal liner (36) for the shell. The liner (36) is integral with the shell (30) and is either deformable upon contact with cervix uteri (14) without substantial deformation of the cervix uteri or is molded in situ adjacent to the exocervical surface of the cervix uteri to hold the cap in place and prevent dislodgement during intercourse or customary physical activities. The liner may be wettable and may extend beyond the shell. In a preferred embodiment in the cervical cap includes a one-way valve means (34) that accomodates the flow of a uterine discharge without need to remove the cap.
