ABSTRACT:
A tampon assembly adapted carrying a for medicament for selective expulsion during use has a tubular inserter, closed at one end, on which an elongated tampon body is mounted by means of a longitudinal bore extending through the body so as to slidably engage the exterior of the inserter at the closed end. A medicament disposed in the remainder of the bore is expelled from the bore by longitudinal relative movement between the inserter and the tampon body along the bore. The tampon body is comprised of an absorbent material so as to have a porous outer surface formed in the shape of radially-disposed longitudinal pleats and porous inner surface formed by the bore, between which a plurality of perforations extend, with string means attached to the tampon body for use in its removal after use.
