ABSTRACT:
The entrance to and walls of a woman's vaginal tract are normally in a constricted state. The fact that air cannot readily enter the vagina and circulate within is at the root of or complicates the treatment of many, common female diseases. For example, many of the disease organisms which attack the vagina are anaerobic which means they cannot thrive or survive in oxygen. Studies show that most die almost at once if exposed to air. Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to insert a highly porous, cylindrical device into the vagina in order to expand the vaginal opening and canal within. After air is allowed to freely enter the vaginal canal, anaerobic organisms are rapidly destroyed.
