ABSTRACT:
An inserter for delivering soft, deformable tampons into body cavities and the combination of the inserter with a suitable tampon. The inserter is particularly useful with tampons made of resiliently deformable material, such as polyurethane sponge. The inserter is made up of a pair of telescoping elements. The outer element is in the form of a tube. The inner element may also be in the form of a tube and has a main portion slidably disposed within the outer tube and a front portion comprising a smaller diameter frontal extension axially disposed on the forward end of the main portion and having a length substantially as long as the outer element when the inner element is slidably disposed therein.
In the inserter and tampon combination, the tampon is disposed within the outer tube to provide a forward head portion and a trailing skirt-like portion with at least the skirt-like portion being deformed and held in releasable compression between the frontal extension and the outer tube. The leading end of the frontal extension bears against the inside of the head portion of the tampon and when the inner element is advanced inside the outer tube, the head portion of the tampon is urged from the outer tube while the skirt-like portion is drawn from the outer tube for deposit in the vagina. Upon ejection the tampon to expands as far as the restrictive walls of the cavity permit.
